Our hero and their companions have reached level 3 of the dungeon. They’ve lost party members along the way, but press on in their quest for gold.
Amidst ancient halls and forgotten tombs, Something moves there in the gloom.
By this point in the story, a sense of despair begins to creep in. Two more companions fall as they face the skeletal dead.
It’s one thing to fight giant rats or goblins that want to eat your face, but it’s a whole other matter to be confronted with the reality of the walking dead.
That’s the sort of thing that will make you re-examine your life choices.
