Labyrinth of Eternal Stench

Deep within the Saltspray Swamp of Eldervast lies a place few dare to tread: the Labyrinth of Endless Stench. Wreathed in choking fog and dense with ancient magic, this perilous maze has become the lair of a fearsome minotaur, a creature that has struck terror into the hearts of locals for generations. When a child from the village of Quagdire is taken by swamp goblins, the townsfolk turn to you for help. Will you be the heroes to unravel the labyrinth’s secrets and bring the child back safely?

A Journey Into Darkness and Mystery

From navigating the treacherous Driftmurk to outsmarting the labyrinth’s traps and puzzles, the adventurers will face both the dangers of the swamp and their own inner fears.
