The Island of the Elephantine Idol
A downloadable adventure destination
An elephant lit up the sky
And fathered kings who cannot die...
Who hasn't heard that famous rhyme? And who hasn't dreamed of unearthing the secrets of the ancient Sea Kings, spawned by that primordial leviathan, the Elephant Divine? Well now's your chance! Delve into a lost temple and find the EIDOLON OF FALLEN STARS...If you dare!
This is a quick, atmospheric dungeon crawl made for the brilliantly simple Short Sword system made by Giuliano Roverato (Roll 4 Tarrasque).
Short Sword is released under Creative Commons 4.0, so I've reproduced the rules in this PDF, while adding some tables for character creation. This means that this contains everything you need to run a one-shot dungeon crawl with very minimal prep. The dungeon can also be easily adapted to any other old-school roleplaying system.
The illustration of the Mourner is by Elias Leavitt.
