Race to Stop a Heavy Metal-Inspired Cult in ZIGGURAT OF THE MEGA-MAIDEN for DUNGEON CRAWL CLASSICS
If you want a fast-paced one-shot or something to up the pace of your Dungeon Crawl Classics adventures, check out Ziggurat of the Mega-Maiden from 2 Old Guys Games. Inspired by heavy metal, the adventure is designed to take roughly 2 hours to complete and even has a timer of sorts as players only have 20 minutes to complete their goal.
The optimal party is six level 2 characters, but it should be possible for four or five characters to complete it. The adventuring party must hurry and prevent the Cult of the Mega-Maiden from bringing the Wrathchild into the world. There are only two minutes until midnight though, so no pressure.
The PCs have been on the path of The Cult of the Mega-Maiden. The Cult seeks to bring the Demon Seed of Deth to the Iron Ziggurat of the Mega-Maiden. There they hope to perform the Ultimate Ritual and fulfill the Prophecy. This will break open the Demon Seed and bring the Wrathchild into the world with the Mega-Maiden acting as surrogate mother. We begin in medias res, in the middle of the plot. This gives Judges various options to drop this into an existing campaign with some minor set up, make this the culmination of previous adventures, or just run this as a speedy one-shot.
