The Midderlands Chewer Of Fingers (Softback + PDF)

Chewer of Fingers is a 24 page softback, grim, old-school introductory adventure intended for The Midderlands setting. The adventure targets 3-5 characters around 2nd level but easily scales for larger or more experience parties. While written for Swords and Wizardry, Murder Knights of Covendark works with retro-clone and OSR games like Castles and Crusades with little or no work.

Content Warning: This adventure contains swear words and mature themes.

What’s In the book?

The encounters in the adventure take place in and around the small hamlet of Fetterstone —a depressing place on the edge of a stinking marsh near the border between the Western Midderlands and Staffershire.

The PCs are heading to Fetterstone to claim a 20 gold quid reward for the capture of an escaped criminal called ‘The Finger Chewer’. After absconding from Middlemoor Gaol five days ago, he is now believed to be hiding in the surrounding oft-foggy marsh. The marsh is notoriously dangerous and even the lure of 20 gold quids isn’t enough to entice the locals into its fetid clutches.
