“demons” are occasionally
encountered in the dark
unpleasant places beneath the
earth. Their origins,

e
purpose, and powers
are a mystery, but it is

fi l
generally agreed upon
that they are not from
around here, are not to be
crossed, and love to make deals.

 Taverns are a common place
for heroes to meet, learn about
quests, and celebrate their
heroic exploits. At The Moldy

e
Unicorn, however, you will
not find heroes. You will find

fi l
scoundrels, monsters, knaves,
and goons. You won’t find The
Moldy Unicorn in a bright sur-
face city or a friendly farming
village. You’ll find it in one of

the dark corners of the under-
world, perhaps in a ramshackle
