Shards of Azurmere

One village. Four dungeons. Dozens of rooms.

Start in Wrenwick, then pick your way through a mossy crypt, a flooded tower and a cavern of lava before you can break into the Azure Keep. Every dungeon has its own tool to find, its own puzzles and its own boss.

Wrenwick Village — **WRENWICK VILLAGE**The shop, a dice-gambler and an elder who knows what’s gone wrong.

Gloomhollow Woods with a pixie fountain and the Barrow entrance — **GLOOMHOLLOW WOODS**A pixie fountain, a mushroom picker and the way into the Hollow Barrow.

Mirrorwater Shore with a plank bridge to the Mere Spire — **MIRRORWATER SHORE**A plank bridge out to the Mere Spire, with jellyfish on the beach.

Pillar Hall in the Hollow Barrow — **HOLLOW BARROW**Skeletons hide behind the pillars and ambush you when you come close.

Frozen Reach in the Mere Spire — **MERE SPIRE**Freeze ice bridges with the Frost Wand to reach what’s across the water.

Rubble Hall in the Ember Grotto — **EMBER GROTTO**Smash boulders and bomb cracked walls. Don’t step in the lava.

The Last Landing in the Azure Keep — **AZURE KEEP**Sealed behind a barrier until you carry all three Prism Shards.

The Bone Warden boss — **THE BONE WARDEN**Bosses shrug off normal hits. Inspect them to learn the trick.

Roll a handful of d4s. Keep the highest.

When you act under pressure you roll one four-sided die for each point in the attribute that fits, Power, Nerve or Wits, and only your best die counts. One roll decides what happens to you and the monster.

1–2You fail. In a fight, you lose a heart.

3You succeed, but it costs you a heart (unless you were defending).

4A clean success. Every extra 4 is an extra hit.
