The story

Three weeks ago the Order of Nine sent a team of scholars to survey a newly found cave system along the Silversilk River, where the falling water has opened a blue-ringed cave. Nobody has heard from them since. The Order will pay well for the safe return of the moon-shaped relic they carried, and for each of the four expedition members brought home.

A deadly starting cave crawl for three to six characters, in one session: an abandoned camp, a hissing cave where fire is death, a corridor built for an ambush, a hanging tree that is dying, blind and gentle cave folk, and a spirit who trades in laughter and memories.
