This is a dungeon I made in a day for the Zungeon Jam!

The proper way to read it is to print it out and fold it into a zine. You can search "how to fold a single-page zine" for instructions. If you want to be fancy print it on green paper.

I didn't make it with a specific system or setting in mind, besides maybe something GLOG-ish. It should fit into any fantasy world.

There are 7 NPCs, only one (the least important) has a name. So you will have to name them.

There are some unanswered questions. How did the party know about the worm's problem, or did they just go in search of treasure? Are they investigating Edgar's disappearance? How did the necromancer find out about the stillborn egg?

The worm is a huge serpent with behavior like a dragon, she can't fly, idk what monster stats are best, you figure it out. The language-leeches can use the stats of any little annoying fucker. The skeleton, zombie, vampire, and ghost all probably have relevant stats in your system, but if not they can just work like humans except the ghost can pass through walls. The necromancer gets wizard levels if applicable. Edgar is a guy with a sword.

Only start rolling on the encounter table once they get to the egg room.

I guess now I'm writing instructions that should have been in the zine if I had space. I should probably stop. Do what you want.

FUCK. Just realized the word I meant was "retinue." The necromancer and her retinue. Well shit.

I'm not putting the PDFs back together today or tomorrow so that's just how it is for the time being. Whatever
