The crumbling tower of the long-dead wizard Elias Leminen has long stood amid the numberless boughs of the southern forest. Now, savage orcs from the Flayed Skull tribe have claimed the tower and use it as a base from which to launch devastating raids on the surrounding area. Will the characters dare to assault the ruin and end the threat? Will they dare to pursue the surviving orcs back to their fortress-home of Rakorzar?

This System Neutral Monstrous Delve presents the savage, bloodthirsty and—above all—fecund orcs of the Flayed Skull tribe, along with a detailed overview of Elias Leminen’s crumbling tower.

About Monstrous Delves

A Monstrous Delve is not a “proper” adventure. Rather, it is a starting point for your creativity. We provide a flavoursome overview of the delve and the monsters therein. You provide their stats and their treasure and pick a suitable adventure hook to draw the characters to the place.

Monstrous Delves are designed so that you can add them to your campaign with the minimum of fuss and effort. Have the characters got lost (deliberately or accidentally)? Have they decided to explore an area of wilderness you have yet to detail? Do you need a side trek or diversion? Simply drop a Monstrous Delve in their path!

Monstrous Delves are system-neutral; however, it is impossible to avoid all game references. A few generic terms such as elf, orc, fighter and cleric appear in the text. Modify these as necessary to suit your game and campaign world.
