🐄 THE HERDS ARE DYING. THE EARTH IS HUNGRY.
Something monstrous is burrowing through the ranchlands of Grentell Hollow, a remote settlement tucked between the Flotket Alps and the shadowy Penumbra Range. Dozens of oxen and cattle have vanished, only tunnels and gnawed bones remain.

You’ve been hired to investigate. But the deeper you go, the stranger things become: bioluminescent fungus that follows your footsteps… unstable caverns that echo your heartbeat… and claw marks that don’t match anything in known bestiaries.

And somewhere in the dark—it waits.

The Ditherer… something ancient beneath the stone.


👥 Seats Available: 6 Players
🧙 Bring Your Own Character (Level 6) – OR – Use a Pre-Made or Build One Using My D&D Beyond Tools
🎲 What to Expect:

  • Custom Boss Monster: The Ditherer

  • Subterranean Horror & Exploration (vision-based challenges, crumbling tunnels)

  • 2–3 Hours of Fast-Paced Action, Roleplay, and Classic Dungeon Crawling
