Caverns of Booooooooo!

Sitting in the Thumping Drum tavern you are down to your last drink, pie and coin.
Looking around you see other travellers in the same sorry state.
The door swings open and in strides a scared looking local with a ragged parchment
in his hand. “He is going to kill us, we have to run”.
The tavern owner, a big serious veteran, limps across the room. They hold a
whispered conversation over the parchment pointing and arguing. A decision is
made and they both walk across the room towards you.
“You look like you can handle trouble” says the innkeeper “how do you feel about
making some coin?” You try not to think about the thinness of your purse as you nod
eagerly.
The scared looking man hurries to explain “Just North of town is a series of caverns,
The Caverns of Booooooooo. Until recently they were mostly empty, a strange
place. Then last month a cold came over the whole village, echoing footsteps were
heard heading away from the village to the Caverns. We sent the guards to
investigate but they never returned. And now this”. He hands over the note

Your guards are now my guards. Tomorrow I come for

more servants. Prepare my throne. King Threearms,
Lord of all Zombies.
Which is why, as night is falling, you find yourself moving carefully towards the
entrance to the Caverns of Booooooooo

Ending 1 : You die!

In death you serve in King Threearms growing army. A small voice inside shouts
angrily at your fate but as time goes on that voice becomes smaller and smaller.

Ending 2 : Victory
You emerge blinking into the sunlight to find a small crowd of villagers gathered.
The Innkeeper raises a large crossbow “Are you zombies?” It takes a while to
convince everyone that you are not and that King Threearms is no more but
once you do celebrations break out. Next morning you find yourself walking the
roads again but this time with coin in your purse, ale in your belly and a fresh pie
in your pack.
