Introduction
D own in the depths of the under-dark, an ancient evil
stirs once more, threatening to spell doom for the surface
world. Fiendish giants have emptied the lava river that acts
as the region’s heat source to manufacture infernal war-
golems of terrible might. The characters must brave the
depths below, defeat these demonic warriors, and destroy
their Infernal Forges.
Plug-in Adventure
This module is a 5e adventure designed for a party of five
level 5-6th characters, built to be plugged easily into an
existing campaign or as a stand-alone adventure.
Background
For almost a thousand years, the fortress-town of Wurgnd
has kept the under-dark domains of the grey dwarves safe
from the elder evils below. Wurgnd has repelled invasion
after invasion — whether the foe be devilish hordes
or swarms of aberrations from the deep, the fortress’
immense iron walls have stood unconquered for longer
than any dwarf can remember.
One such foe are the Eeüröns, the blacksmiths of the
Hells. The Eeüröns were born and bred to craft exquisite
infernal weaponry for their archdevil masters — but they
were more resourceful than their masters knew. They
broke their own bonds and escaped the Hells, making a
stronghold for themselves in the deep under-dark, below
even the realms of the dark elves and the grey dwarves.
For centuries, the Eeüröns have sought to expand their
territory and invade the surface world, and for centuries
they have been rebuffed by the gates of Wurgnd and the
might of the grey dwarf kingdoms. After many failed
sieges, the Eeüröns have been unheard of for almost two
hundred years. Two months ago, however, they devised
a plan to drain the Boiling Caverns that provide Wurgnd
with warmth by rerouting the immense river of lava that
gives the cave complex its name. With the heat necessary
to grow food gradually fading, Wurgnd is in danger of
being starved out and is now flooded with refugees from
the small provincial settlements below it. Meanwhile, the
2
Eeürön are channeling the heat of the stolen lava flow into
their newly-made fortress-forge of Brognazur, where they
are constructing infernal weapons powerful enough to
finally breach Wurgnd’s gates.
With their food stores dwindling, their forces spread thin,
and several scouting expeditions below failing to return,
the grey dwarves of Wurgnd have few options remaining.
They have reached out to their few connections on the
surface in the hopes of enlisting adventurers brave and
tenacious enough to investigate the source of the problem
and, should they have the mettle, solve it themselves...

Part I - Into The Dark
I n this section, the characters descend into the
claustrophobic underground realm of the under-dark
journey down into Wurgnd, the beleaguered fortress-
town at the lowest edge of the grey dwarf Kingdom
of Kiurgsaar.
The Hook
The grey dwarves are closed-off and intensely wary of
outsiders, but their king maintains tenuous connections
with a handful of prominent surface families. One such
family is House Nysarro, a prestigious and ancient noble
house with mercantile connections across the world.
House Nysarro’s up-and-coming scion, Morantha, has
agreed to contract a band of capable adventurers to delve
below Wurgnd and investigate the situation. She will
contact the characters through local ne’er do wells and
offer three hundred gold coins per party member to
locate the source of the problem — or five hundred to
resolve the matter.
Her agents will provide a map leading to a nearby
under-dark entrance and directions down to Wurgnd,
as well as a writ of passage marked with the seal of the
grey dwarf king.
Down Under
Wurgnd is deep below the surface, requiring three full
days of travel through winding lightless caverns to reach.
The world below is strange and alien to outsiders, the
air close and heavy, rocky warrens pockmarked with
unfamiliar patterns, occasional veins of luminous flora,
and strange glowing subterranean fungi.
Navigating the Gloom. Travel in these lightless depths is
a harrowing affair. For each day of travel, the characters
must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom (Survival) check or
encounter a deadly hazard. Should they fail, roll on the
Random Encounter chart below to determine their fate:
d20 Monster / Hazard
1 Yawning Chasm + 2 Cloakers
2-5 2 Cloakers
6-10 2 Phase Panthers
11-15 Yawning Chasm
16-20 Chasm + Mushrooms
Yawning Chasms. Vast chasms cut through swathes of
the under-dark. These chasms vary in height, and often
feature 10 ft. wide ledges stable enough to stand on. To
find out how high up these ledges are, roll a d20 and
consult the following table:
d20 Height + Ledge
1 200 ft., no ledges
2-5 200 ft., 1 ledge at 100 ft.
6-10
11-15
150 ft., 1 ledges every 50 ft.
100 ft., 1 ledges every 50 ft.
16-20 70 ft.
Traversing to each ledge without falling requires a DC 14
Strength (Athletics) check (DC 9 if using a climber’s kit).
Magic Mushrooms. Strange, glowing mushrooms grow
across the walls of many chasms, about 5 ft. below each
ledge. These mushrooms release a burst of numbing spores
when tampered with. Creatures within 5 ft. must make a
DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 14 (4d6) poison
damage and fall asleep for 1 hour. These mushrooms
have a multitude of beneficial and detrimental effects
when consumed, however. When a character harvests a
mushroom, roll a d6 and consult the following table to
determine that mushroom’s effects & colour:
d10 A creature that consumes this mushroom:
1 Burps loudly at random times and makes
Dexterity (Stealth) checks at disadvantage for 1
hour.
2 Has swollen feet (one size category larger) for
1 hour, gaining disadvantage on Dexterity
(Acrobatics) checks. (White + Spots)
3 Exchanges bodies with the next humanoid they
touch for 1 day. (Blue + Spots)
4 Gains 1 level of Exhaustion. (Red)
5 Can cast Comprehend Languages on themselves as
an action for 1 hour. (Purple + Spots)
6 Can cast Feather Fall on themselves as a reaction
for 1 hour. (White)
7 Can cast Invisibility on themselves as action for 1
hour. (Blue)
8 Is immune to fire damage for 1 hour. (Red +
Spots)
The mushrooms appear identical at a glance but have
colourful undersides and some also have distinctive
spots on their undersides, which a character can notice
with a successful DC 14 Wisdom (Perception) check.
Once harvested, these mushrooms last for 1 week
before spoiling.
Surface Seekers. The characters are not always alone on
the trail. The sudden loss of heat in the lower depths has
sent refugees scrambling through Wurgnd and up toward
warmer levels. Bands of grey dwarves, deep gnomes, and
even splinter communities of dark elves traveling in the
opposite direction to the characters become an increasingly
common sight as they approach Wurgnd.
These refugees have little left to lose and are glum,
suspicious folk, rarely with anything kind to say. They will
only share their stories of the situation below in exchange
for at least 20 rations of food.
3

The Gates of the Deep
Wurgnd has stood for the better part of a thousand years,
and though it has seen better days, it is an impressive work
of dwarven architecture. As the characters approach it
the tunnel opens out into an immense hollow in the rock.
There, they get their first glimpse of Wurgnd:
Read Out: “Nearing sixty feet tall, a vast plate of
layered black iron stretches from top to bottom of
the cave. Battlements are forged into the metal at
regular intervals, manned by watchful grey dwarf
soldiers. Below, near the bottom of the structure,
deep grooves indicate a smaller gate worked into
the iron. The immense construction is covered
in scars and boulder-sized dents, but none deep
enough to break through it.”
Watchful Eyes. There are four grey dwarf guards at
a small sub-gate that can be opened for travellers and
merchants. The party is watched carefully by ten from up
above, however, and should there be any trouble, they
will shoot to kill before asking any further questions.
The guards are grim, dour, and standoffish, but showing
them the characters’ writ of passage will grant entry
into Wurgnd with instructions to seek out the local
quartermaster.
Dire Streets. These are bad times to live in Wurgnd.
Normally, the fortress-town supports a population of
just over a thousand — mostly soldiers, with a minority
of families and tradesmen that perform logistical duties.
Currently, the town is hosting nearly over a thousand
refugees from below, most of whom are hungry, tired,
and desperate.
Read Out: The gates open into a vast, narrow
cavern, its walls covered with blocky, squat
buildings carved into the stone itself. Massive
stalagmites reach toward the cave ceiling, similar
dwellings cut into their bases. All around you,
crowds of dirty, ragged refugees — deep gnomes,
goblins, even dark elves — are being watched
closely by grey dwarf guards. Many look half-
starved, and they eye you carefully as you pass by.”
Wurgnd is cramped, dirty, and loud. The soldiery are
stretched thin, and their dwindling supplies are being
tightly regulated.
Food Shortages. Meals are highly regulated by the grey
dwarf garrison, which has been portioning out rations of
a tasteless, loamy mushroom-bread. It is impossible to buy
food and drink from legitimate channels.
Dangerous Streets. A small circle of thieves has been
stealing supplies to sell at a premium. A character that
succeeds on a DC 16 Intelligence (Investigation) check can
track them down, but the small group (comprised of six
deep gnomes) sells rations at five times the normal price.
Should the characters attempt to haggle, they will try to lift
their coin purses while they are distracted.
Supply and Demand. There are only a few shops still open
throughout Wurgnd and they are manned by suspicious,
hard-eyed shopkeepers. They are extremely wary of
4
outsiders, and will need to be convinced to grant non-
dwarves their services with a successful DC 14 Charisma
(Persuasion) check. When selling cavern supplies (such as
ropes, torches, lanterns, oil, etc), they will attempt to sell
their wares to the characters at double the normal price,
citing high local demand.
Rumours of Doom. The refugees are highly suspicious
of outsiders, but they can be convinced to converse by a
character that succeeds on a DC 16 Charisma (Persuasion)
check. Most know very little but what is clear to them
is that their caves have been gradually losing warmth,
and that this has played havoc on the local environment,
causing fungal crops to wither and die. Consult the list
below to determine what rumours the refugees supply the
characters with:
Rumours
Myconids have overrun the lower depths.
An earthquake has disrupted the lava flows below.
An ancient dragon is drinking vast amounts of lava,
causing the caves to cool.
The gods are furious and have drawn away the heat
below as a punishment.
Demons have risen from the deep to invade the
surface world.
Desperate Times. Food is short and tempers are high
in Wurgnd, and a few travellers are willing to steal to
survive. At the end of every three hours the characters
spend in Wurgnd, roll a D20. On a result of 1-6, the
characters are confronted by a gang of desperate brigands
who will attempt to rob them. Consult the following table
to determine their attackers:
d20 Creature
1-6 6 Bugbears
7-14 6 Deep Gnomes
15-20 6 Goblins
Quartermaster Gwolgech. Wurgnd’s quartermaster is
currently overseeing the fortress-town’s supply situation
from a small outpost near the gates. He is a solemn, hard-
nosed grey dwarf with a long wispy beard and a slight
crook in his back. Gwolgech is stretched to his limits, and
will snap at anyone in his general vicinity. He wants to get
the characters out of his hair as quickly as possible, and
will hand them over to a grey dwarf soldier called Brrdo
Drrgam (pg.13), who will serve as their guide below.
Interacting further with Gwolgech requires a DC 20
Charisma (Persuasion) check. On a success, Gwolgech can
be begrudgingly convinced to hand over six days’ rations
and twelve torches. Otherwise, he rants angrily at the
characters before telling them to buzz off.
The Way Down. When they are ready to leave, Brrdo
will escort the characters to the lower gates of Wurgnd,
where they pass by a set of vast iron defenses identical to
those above.
Part II - The Depths Below
T he journey below is a two-day march through the
dark. Brrdo is equipped with the map, and knows how
to navigate the sprawling network of caves fairly well.
The caves down here are warmer than in Wurgnd, but
Brrdo will note that it is still unusually cold. As they
move through the dark, there are signs all about that
something is amiss.
Read Out: “As you make your way through the
winding caverns you catch occasional glimpses
of stone dwellings cut into the rock walls, all
abandoned. Sweeping caves full of fungal crops
have been left to wither, and the few traces of
bioluminescent flora you observe are notably
dimmer than those above, their leaves wilting
downward as though drained of life.”
Uneasy Rest. The under-dark is uncannily dark, and filled
with the constant minute sounds of dropping water or
shifting geological pressures. Should they not have a light
source in the vicinity, a creature from the surface world
must succeed on a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw to get a
full eight hours of sleep. Should they fail, they gain a level
of exhaustion.
Monsters in the Dark. The under-dark is teeming with
vicious predators. Should the characters attempt a long
rest, roll a D20. On a 1-6, they are discovered by a pack of
monsters that attempt to take them unawares. Roll on the
following table to determine their attackers:
d20 Monster
1-6 2 Cloakers
7-12 3 Chuuls
13-16 4 Ghasts
17-20 5 Darkmantles
The Boiling Caverns
As the characters approach the Boiling Caverns, the
temperature rises significantly, though Brrdo will
mention if questioned that the region is still significantly
cooler than it should be. Eventually, they will reach a
truly vast cavern, its pitted roof far beyond the touch of
any torchlight.
Read Out: “The way opens out into a vast, looming
cavern. The floor drops out ahead of you into a
cliff of jagged, dark rock, down into a massive
trench that winds its way out of sight, into deeper
caverns. Down below, the ground at the bottom of
the trench is composed of a layered, igneous crust,
clearly formed from cooled magma.”
Magma Theft! The Boiling Caverns are a vast complex
of caves through which, normally, a gigantic river of
molten lava flows, providing the primary heat-vein for the
surrounding regions. Presently, however, the entire river
appears to have been drained, leaving only a crusty bed
of igneous rock in its place. Brrdo, visibly concerned, will
express his utter disbelief at this.
It’s Getting Hot in Here. Even without the lava river,
there is enough heat packed into the earth here to make
surfacers uncomfortably warm. After two hours of travel,
characters without fire resistance or immunity must
succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. On a
failed save, they gain a level of exhaustion. Wearing heavy
armour causes characters to make this save at disadvantage.
Characters can avoid making this saving throw by cooling
themselves by magical means or otherwise.
Along the River. The only way to travel through the
Boiling Caverns is along the banks of the now-empty lava
flow — or, for now, the former bottom of the river. There
is a 60 ft. cliff down to a ledge running along the river’s
edges (when the river was flowing, this would have been
the river bank), followed by another 15 ft. drop all the way
down to the riverbed.

source of the lava flow, is a huge lump of igneous rock ! Secret Messages. Now would be the perfect time to

trap takes the form of a pair of strange metallic horns
embedded in the cliff faces above the river, 50 ft. up, in the
direction of Brognazur. These horns project an invisible
field of force between them, blocking the way. A creature
that touches the field takes 1 force damage and is pushed
15 ft. directly away. Doing this also causes the colossus
in Hidden Threat to activate and seek out the disturbance.
Casting Dispel Magic on the field causes it to dissipate for 1
minute before returning.
Dark Designs. Touching the horns themselves activates
a defense mechanism, causing them to hum loudly and
release a burst of dark power. A character doing so must
make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw, taking 14 (4d6)
necrotic damage and being possessed by a demonic spirit
on a failed save, or taking half that much damage on a
successful one.
A possessed creature remains possessed for eight hours,
or until subject to the Protection from Evil and Good spell.
During this time, the malevolent spirit has access to all of
their abilities and memories, and will attempt to sabotage
the characters at every turn.

6
Part III - The Krub Mines
T he Eeüröns have brought two clans of Krubs (pg.12)
up from the lower depths as slaves. These small devils
mine the caverns for adamantine ore.
Read Out: “The cave roof overhead here is too
high to see, but nearer the floor the walls are lit by
flickering torchlight. Gangs of chittering, yelping
creatures with greyish skin and pitted, rock-
encrusted heads scamper about with mining tools.
On the far side of the cave, three smaller tunnels
cut their way into a raised shelf of rock. Far in the
distance, where the river-trench winds around a
corner, the rock is bathed in a reddish-orange glow.”
The primary cave that makes up the largest region of the
mines is massive, and teeming with activity, but patrols
are rare. The area is expansive enough that a small group
can pick their way through it unnoticed by succeeding
on a DC 14 Dexterity (Stealth) check. Should they fail, a
small patrol of four Krubs comes looking, but the creatures
are not particularly diligent and can be evaded with some
quick thinking.
! Thinking Stealthily. Should the characters fail
their Stealth checks to traverse the Krub mines, it is
recommended to give them a short, timed challenge
in which they can apply a skill or use a resource
creatively to escape notice. If the GM has an hourglass
on hand, this is the time.
Hellish Guardian. There is a single Hellforge Colossus
stationed at the center of the riverbed where it turns
left before it begins to descend into The Trench (pg.9). It
is inactive, but a pair of Krubs are assigned to the area,
watching from either bank. They will run to slam an
activation rune upon its back if they see the characters,
causing the colossus to awaken and attack any non-fiend
creature in its vicinity.
One of these Krubs is Smidvarg (pg.13). As he is very
much onboard with the rest of the Boomhammers’
mutinous schemes, he will attempt to stop the other Krub
— who is a Stoneclaw — from activating the colossus.
Should he be successful, he will attempt to explain
his clan’s situation and make a bid for the characters’
assistance. If they agree to hear him out, he will attempt to
sneak them into the mines to meet Zkedvarg.
Deadly Rivalry. The Krub clans that work the mines
— the Boomhammer and the Stoneclaws — despise
one another. The Eeürön make a game of pitting the
two clans against each other, punishing whichever one
underperforms in daily quotas by hurling one of their
number from the top of Brognazur. The Boomhammer
clan have grown tired enough of the situation to plan
an uprising.
Snitches. The Stoneclaw have caught wind of the
uprising and wish to remain loyal, revealing the
Boomhammer’s deceit to their masters. When the
characters cmove further along the riverbank or begin to
climb the cliff above, read out the following text:
Read Out: “You hear a set of excited, chittering
voices belonging to a group of creatures just over
the top of the cliff.
“Boomhammers plot, Boomhammers plan to kill
us all, we hear it! Clan-leader Zkedvarg makes his
stupid-dumb schemes in the mine-tunnels! But
Stoneclaw are loyal! Stoneclaw always loyal!”
There is a sound like churning rock, and a deep,
grim voice answers:
“Gather your clan and await The Bellringer. Before
the hour is done, we will find these traitors and
make an example of them. This insult will not go
unpunished.”
There is a chorus of evil laughter, and a set of
heavy footsteps head away from the cliff edge.”
7
 The conversation is between a gang of Stoneclaws and an
Eeürön Deadbolt, who is returning to Brognazur to alert
his comrades. Within the hour, an Eeürön Bellringer and
twelve Stoneclaw Krubs will storm the Boomhammer
caves and attempt to slaughter the rebellion.
Into the Mines. There are three other tunnels sitting
on a higher shelf on the far end of the cave that lead off
into a maze of mining shafts. Navigating these tunnels is
virtually impossible without help. Should the characters
be searching for Zkedvarg, a successful DC 17 Wisdom
(Survival) check is sufficient to find him. On a failure, they
instead encounter a gang of six Stoneclaw Krub Miners
and three Krub Boomhurlers. After two rounds of combat
with these Krubs, Zkedvarg and his small group of co-
conspirators will join the battle on the characters’ side,
hoping to curry favour with them.
Smidvarg. Zkedvarg’s only surviving son is a young
Krub called Smidvarg. An ambitious creature with few
scruples, and the Boomhurlers’ greatest warrior, Smidvarg
is his father’s go-to man for problem-solving. Should the
characters successfully negotiate an alliance with Zkedvarg,
he will send for his son and have him accompany them as a
guide to Brognazur.
The Toll of Dread
The Eeürön have sent their Bellringer and twelve
Stoneclaw Krubs — eight Miners and four Boomhurlers —
to crush the Zkedvarg and his co-conspirators. Should the
characters have met with Zkedvarg and come to an accord
with him, he and the five other Boomhammer Krubs
present are willing to fight the war party alongside them.

plan is to hoard dynamite, deposit it in increments under
Brognazur, and blow the whole thing to bits.
He is unaware, however, that he has only an hour until
one of the Eeüröns will arrive to end his life. Should the
characters approach him, they can convince him that
his life is in danger by succeeding on a DC 14 Charisma
(Persuasion) check, and should they be successful, he is
open to assisting the characters. Unfortunately, the Eeürön
Bellringer and twelve Stoneclaw Krubs will attack him and
the characters soon after.
Explosive Distraction. If saved from their attackers, the
Boomhammer Krubs can provide the characters with
information on Brognazur’s purpose and how to best
approach it, as well as details regarding the Eeüröns and
their history. They can also be persuaded into creating a
distraction that would pull most of the Stoneclaws away
and clear the way to Brognazur.
Zkedvarg himself can be persuaded to engage in a game
of Cluck Cluck Boom (pg.16) with one of the Stoneclaws,
should the characters succeed on a DC 16 Charisma
(Persuasion) check and properly massage the fiend’s ego.
Doing so gathers most of the Krubs in the mines at one
end of the riverbed, and reduces the DC of all Dexterity
(Stealth) checks to move through the area by 5. Zkedvarg
intends for the Stoneclaws to be occupied in the trench
while the characters destroy Brognazur, unleashing a
torrent of magma that kills them all. He will demand that
they wait to pull the Purge Lever/Flow Lever until the
resulting lava flood would eradicate the Stoneclaws.

 Part IV - Brognazur
B rognazur is a marvel of infernal architecture, an
immense dam standing over a hundred feet high that
has cut off the lava flow to the Boiling Caverns. Inside,
the incredible heat is put to good use by the Eeüröns,
who are manufacturing a whole battalion of Hellforge
Colossi — powerful weapons capable of bringing down the
gates of Wurgnd.
Read Out: “Stretching from wall to wall, an
immense dam of black iron blocks off the flow of
lava from deeper within the under-dark. It looms
across one side of the cavern, the orange glow
beyond silhouetting its shape. On the left side of
its wall, a mechanical lift large enough to carry
several beasts of burden sits unattended. At regular
intervals, groups of miners push carts back and
forth around the base of the structure. At the
bottom of the dam a pair of arched entrances sit at
either side, and at its center is a large metal hatch.”
The Approach
There are many routes to Brognazur.
The Trench. The trench leading up to Brognazur is the
drained-out remains of a once mighty-lava river. It leads
directly to the front of the fortress. Much of the crusted
lava remnants have been cleared out here, making it deeper
than any other section of riverbed. The 60 ft. cliff down to
the bank running along the trench’s edges is followed by
another 30 ft. drop all the way down to the bottom.
Here, Krubs from the Boomhammer and Stoneclaw clans
toil away, dredging up adamantine ore from various caves
cut into the side of the trench, and the entire area bustles
with activity.
! Crowded Workplace. It is impossible to traverse
the trench by mundane means without being seen.
Left of the Trench. The left side is the stretch of mostly
flat stone to the left of the trench. This area is less
frequented by Krubs, and is closer to The Lift (pg.10).
Traversing left of the trench undetected is much easier
than navigating the Krub Mines or The Trench, requiring
that characters succeed on a DC 11 Dexterity (Stealth)
check to reach any point on the leftmost end of Brognazur.
Getting to the left side, however, is far more difficult,
as the surfaces that lead up to it prior to The Trench are
treacherous, requiring that the characters succeed on a
DC 25 Strength (Athletics) check (DC 20 if they have
appropriate climbing gear). They can however attempt to
find a passage leading up to it from the Krub Mines (pg.7),
but without the aid of someone that knows the mines
this requires that they succeed on a DC 25 Intelligence
(Investigation) or Wisdom (Survival) Check.
Right of the Trench. There is a wide open space to the
right of The Trench. This area is heavily populated by Krubs
going to and fro, and requires successful DC 15 Dexterity
(Stealth) check to pass through it unseen. All three
entrances to Brognazur can be reached from here, but
getting to The Lift or the leftmost doorway without being
detected requires an additional Dexterity (Stealth) check.
9
 The Fortress Exterior
Brognazur is approximately 150 feet of unmarked black
iron, its walls sheer and without purchase. It is impossible
to climb without grappling hooks or magical aid.
The Magma Purge. Near the top of the structure, in
the middle, is a large hatch that serves as a way for lava
to be purged into the trench below when necessary. It is
currently closed, and can only be opened from the inside.
The Lift. An exceptionally large, sturdy mechanical lift is
attached to Brognazur’s outer wall, closer to the leftmost
entrance. An oversized metal lever will activate the lift,
taking it up or down, but any character smaller than Large
must succeed on a DC 14 strength (Athletics) check to
crank it. The lift goes up to The Battlements (pg.11). It
travels 70 ft. up or down each turn.
Archways. There are two simple, arched stone entrances
leading into Brognazur — one on the leftmost side of
the fortress, and one on the right. They lead into The
Ground Floor.
The Ground Floor
The Ground Floor is where the Krubs deposit ore to be
transported up to The Foundry, and where completed
Hellforge Colossi are stored in an inactive state. The
Ground Floor is separated into two rooms: the Krub
Entry, accessed by the leftmost entrance, and the Colossi
Hall, accessed by the rightmost entrance.
Krub Entry. The Krub Entry is a large, loud, busy room
where Krubs are constantly working to keep The Foundry
above fed with adamantine ore. There are five Krub
Miners, two Krub Boomhurlers, and Krublord Skarlek
working in this chamber. These Krubs are members of the
Stoneclaw clan, and will immediately attack the characters.
On the far side of the room is a conveyor system that feeds
ore up into the second floor. It is possible to crawl up
through it into The Foundry.
No Krubs Allowed. A red-hot rune is inscribed upon the
keystone above the entrances to the spiral staircases on
either side of this level, preventing Krubs from ascending
the stairs. When a creature attempts to enter either
staircase, it must make a DC 16 Constitution saving
throw. A creature takes 21 (6d6) fire damage and is pushed
15 ft. directly away from the doorway on a failed save.
These runes can be deactivated by the Dispel Magic spell.
Triggering them generates a loud crackle, which will alert
nearby creatures.
The Foundry
Read Out: “A wave of scalding heat washes over
you as you step out into the hall. Iron pipes
hiss and rattle overhead, many of them glowing
orangey-red with heat. Tables run through the
room, cluttered with rough steel weapons and large
pieces of unfinished metalwork. A wide channel
runs through the center of the chamber, flanked by
a pair of towering metal automatons that stand still
against the walls.”
The Foundry is where the majority of the work at
Brognazur takes place. Here, the Eeüröns practice their
grim craft, working tirelessly to make infernal colossi
and using the heat of the dammed lava river to power
their forge.
The Grand Forge. At the center of the room, against one
wall, is a massive forge. A channel for lava to run through
is built into the structure, but is currently empty. There is a
hatch above it that can be opened by a pair of Flow Levers
found on The Battlements (pg.11), allowing lava to spill
inside and power the forge. Two oversized anvils flank
this huge forge.
Purge Levers. A massive pair of levers jut from the
floor on the south side of the room. The Purge Levers
control the Magma Purge hatch, allowing lava to pour
from the Grand Forge into the trench outside. The Purge
Levers are designed for Large creatures, and must be
pulled simultaneously to function. They each require
a successful DC 17 Strength (Athletics) check to pull.
Creatures of a size category smaller than Medium can help
in this attempt, but by themselves cannot succeed on the
check itself.
Sleeping Colossi. A pair of Hellforge Colossi guard the
room, standing inactive at either side of the Grand Forge.
They will awaken and attack should they be damaged,
should the forge be interfered with, or should the
characters touch either of the Purge Levers.

Colossi Hall. The Colossi Hall is a wide, sweeping

chamber without much adornment. The room is full of
silent, inactive Hellforge Colossi. These colossi are in a
dormant mode, their internal engines utterly quiet, and
would require almost an hour to fully activate. Krubs are
not normally permitted to enter this chamber, but they
are working in the room nextdoor, and may notice the
characters passing through. Moving through the room
undetected requires a successful Dexterity (Stealth) check
against a DC of 14.

use them to summon supplies and fresh Krub workers
from their home deep down in the lowest depths of the
under-dark. The mystic roads to the dark city cannot be
accessed by non-Eeüröns. Eeüröns can use a bonus action
to teleport from one circle to the other.
The Lords of Brognazur. Three Eeüröns reside in this
chamber: an Eeürön Deadbolt, an Eeürön Flamespeaker,
and the Eeürön Warlord that oversees Brognazur’s
operations. They do not take kindly to uninvited guests.

The Battlements
The battlements atop Brognazur overlook the dammed
lava lake to the north and The Trench to the south. The
stone floor is dark and featureless, save for a pair of
massive, metal levers in the center of the battlements.
Don’t Look Down. To the south, there is a 150-foot drop
down to the mines below. To the north, there is a 70-foot
drop into bubbling, searing lava.
The Flow Levers. The levers in the middle of the
battlements open a hatch located on the north side of
Brognazur, allowing lava to flow into The Foundry,
providing heat for its forge.
To operate the Flow Levers, creatures must succeed
on a DC 17 Strength (Athletics) check on both levers
simultaneously. This pulls the levers half of the way,
generating a tremendous grinding noise, and a second
successful check is needed to complete the process.
Creatures of a size category smaller than Medium cannot
attempt these checks, but they can help.
Conclusion
With Brognazur destroyed or conquered, the characters
are victorious. Depending on how they go about this task,
however, they may find it more or less difficult to return
home and enjoy their reward.
Magma Flooding. A flood caused by keeping the Flow
Levers activated without using the Purge Levers can be
incredibly deadly. Brognazur will quickly fill up with
lava, and its entire frame will begin to buckle under
the intense heat after an hour. If the characters do not
escape somehow, they risk being swept away in a river of
bubbling magma.
Soulforged Revenge. To avoid returning to the Hells
when they die, the Eeüröns tether their souls to their
weapons. Should the characters take them, they could
very well wait for weeks, months, or even years before
attempting to possess them and exact revenge.

Appendix B - NPCs
Smidvarg (S on of Skedvarg)
Read out: "A scrawny, shifty young Krub with
long, grabby fingers and eyes that constantly
roam his surroundings."
Goal. Power at any cost.
Background. Smidvarg is Zkedvarg’s only
surviving son. He has lived his entire life as a slave
to the Eeüröns, toiling away in their mines and
forges. Always fascinated with the dark magics
and mighty crafts of the Eeüröns, he is desperate
to gain such powers, and is convinced that it is his
destiny to do so. For Smidvarg, his father’s dream
of freeing the Boomhammer clan is merely a means
to accrue power for himself, and he will trick and
betray anyone he has to for the smallest shred of
magical might.
Equipment. Flickersnap, x2 Dynamite Sticks
Krublord Skarlek (S toneclaw)
Read out: "A squat, leering Krub with eyes
long burned-out, and a tiny, chittering
winged demon perched on its shoulder".
Goal. Skarlek is a true loyalist, and believes that
by serving the Eeüröns, he can become more
like them. He is, of course, utterly incorrect—
his masters see him as a tool at best and an
irritant at worst.
Background. ‘Krublord’ is the self-appointed
title of the Stoneclaw Krubs’ patriarch. Skarlek is
an older Krub, his eyes long lost to an explosive
mining accident, but his viciousness and cunning
have seen him rise to prominence among his clan.
He sees his Eeürön masters as aspirational figures
to be emulated, giving himself pompous titles,
affecting a deep voice that cracks regularly, and
often using words he doesn’t understand in an
attempt to appear magisterial.
Clackjaw. Skarlek compensates for his loss of
vision through the unique bond he shares with
the small, ornery devil that often perches on his
shoulder. He believes this creature’s fondness for
him is a sign of his great destiny. In truth, it is
gradually siphoning his life force, and will one day
abandon him as an empty shell.
Equipment. x2 War Picks, x4 Dynamite Sticks.
Brrdo Drrgam (G uide)
Read out: ""A
A grey dwarf whose frame is
boxlike even by his people’s standards. His
beard is heavily braided and one of his eyes
is marred by a long scar."
Statistics. Brrdo is treated as a grey dwarf with
double the normal hit points.
Goal. Guide the characters to the Boiling Caverns
without unnecessary risk.
Background. Brrdo is a relatively unremarkable
grey dwarf warrior — which is precisely why
he was chosen to guide the characters down
below Wurgnd.
He is belligerent and standoffish, grumbling often,
and rarely seems impressed. He treats the characters
like important but uncomfortable baggage, and has
few kind words for them.
Equipment. War Pick, Scale Mail, Shield, x2
Javelins, 60 ft. Hempen Rope, x2 Pitons, 10gp.
Zkedvarg (B oomhammer)
Read out: "An aging, heavily wrinkled Krub
with a long white beard. His head is crusted
with heavy rocky protrusions and his skinny
arms are covered with scars from working
the mines. He spits constantly."
Statistics. Zkedvarg is treated as a Krub
Boomhurler with double the normal hit points.
Goal. Freedom for Boomhammers and death
for Stoneclaws.
Background. The ancient patriarch of the
Boomhammer Krub clan, Zkedvarg remembers a
time before his people were conjured to the dark
citadel of the Eeüröns, when they mined the deep
pits of the Hells. He hates and fears the Eeüröns
in equal measure, and despises the Stoneclaw clan
for the way they grovel at the larger devils’ feet.
Zkedvarg is determined to lead the Boomhammers
out of slavery.
Equipment. x2 War Picks, x2 Dynamite Sticks.

 Appendix C - Magical Items

Helmcarver
Weapon (Greataxe), Rare, Requires Attunement
Once wielded one-handed by the Eeürön Warlord of Brognazur,
Helmcarver is heavy enough that it requires two hands to wield in the
hands of a size Medium or smaller, and its black blade smoulders with
constant heat.
Helmcarver is a +1 adamantine greataxe. It contains 3 charges. Whenever
you hit a creature with Helmcarver, you may spend a charge to deal an
additional 2d4 fire damage. It regains any spent charges at dawn.
Helmcarver contains the soul of the deceased Eeürön that crafted it. It is
aware of its surroundings, but cannot speak. After a week of being attuned
to one creature, it can attempt to possess them. The creature must succeed
on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be possessed by the Eeürön until they
are subject to the Protection from Evil and Good or Hallow spells. A possessed
creature permanently transforms into the Eeürön after it spends a week
possessed. For every minute spent inside the radius of the Hallow spell,
the Eeürön spirit must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw, being

Gatecrasher
Weapon (Light Ballista), Rare, Requires Attunement, Loading
This huge crossbow is designed for the hands of an Eeürön Deadbolt, and far too heavy for a size Medium or smaller
creature to wield effectively.
Gatecrasher is treated as a +1 heavy crossbow that deals 2d10 additional piercing damage on a hit and weighs 350lbs. It
cannot be operated by a single creature that is not Large or larger. Three Medium creatures with a Strength score of 16
or greater can, however, operate it together—two of them carrying and one firing. For the purposes of attack rolls and
damage, Gatecrasher uses the firing creature’s Dexterity modifier. Gatecrasher requires much larger, more expensive
ammunition than normal, costing five times that of standard crossbow bolts. When Gatecrasher hits a structure with a
ranged weapon attack, it is always considered a critical hit.
Gatecrasher contains the soul of the deceased Eeürön that created it. It is aware of its surroundings, but cannot speak.
After a week of being attuned to one creature, it can attempt to possess them. The creature must succeed on a DC
16 Wisdom saving throw or be possessed by the Eeürön until they are subject to the Protection from Evil and Good or
Hallow spells. A possessed creature permanently transforms into the Eeürön after it spends a week possessed. For every
minute spent inside the radius of the Hallow spell, the Eeürön spirit must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw,
being expelled from Gatecrasher on a failed save.

14
Cacophon
Weapon (Bell Maul), Rare, Requires Attunement
An immense, dark-steel bell hangs from this giant stave.
Cacophon was once the weapon of an Eeürön Bellringer, and cannot be wielded by any creature that is not Large
or larger. It weighs 600lbs. The bell contains 1 charge, which can be spent by sounding it as an action, causing all
creatures that can hear it within 60 ft. to make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of their
next turn. Cacophon regains any spent charges at dawn.
Cacophon contains the soul of the deceased Eeürön that created it. It is aware of its surroundings, but cannot speak.
After a week of being attuned to one creature, it can attempt to possess them. The creature must succeed on a DC
16 Wisdom saving throw or be possessed by the Eeürön until they are subject to the Protection from Evil and Good or
Hallow spells. A possessed creature permanently transforms into the Eeürön after it spends a week possessed. For every
minute spent inside the radius of the Hallow spell, the Eeürön spirit must succeed on a DC 16.
.

Gouge
Weapon (Greatsword), Rare, Requires Attunement
Gouge was a shortsword in the hands of the Eeürön
Deadbolt that forged it, but must be wielded two-
handed by a smaller creature. The blade’s dark-steel
edge shines with an unnatural light.
Gouge is a +1 adamantine greatsword. It contains
3 charges. Whenever you hit a living creature with
Gouge, you may spend a charge to re-roll one or
both damage dice. You must keep the second result.
Gouge regains any spent charges at dawn. Creatures
a Strength of 17 or lower attack with Gouge at
disadvantage.
Flickersnap
Weapon (Dagger), Uncommon, Requires Attunement
This fine silver dagger once belonged to the Krub
Smidvarg, and its blade gleams with a strange light.
Flickersnap is a silvered dagger. It contains 3 charges.
As long as you are attuned to it, you may spend a
charge as a reaction after throwing it or a bonus
action on your turn to teleport to any space within
5 ft. of Flickersnap, disappearing and reappearing in
a puff of smoke. When you teleport to Flickersnap,
you may pick it up as a free action. Flickersnap
regains any spent charges at dawn.

 Appendix D - Monsters
Eeüröns
The Eeüröns were born in the deep reaches of the Hells,
created by merging the blood of fiends and mortal
giantkin. They were created as a slave race, destined to
toil endlessly in the forges of the Pit, crafting weapons
of dark majesty for devilish nobility. The Eeüröns were
too cunning for their masters to control forever, though,
and six of the most ancient — now known to them as the
Forgefathers — engineered a revolution, leading their
kin to the material realm, where they built a city of dark
iron among the deepest depths of the under-dark. The
Forgefathers have long since vanished, though they remain
the exalted icons to the Eeüröns, and the fell giants have
turned their disciplined, patient minds toward conquest.
Seizing much of the deep under-dark, the Eeüröns found
their plans foiled again and again by the might of the grey
dwarf kingdoms, who they have come to truly hate.
Eeüröns stand at twice the height of a human male, their
bodies hirsute and broad. Curling quad-horns sprout
from their skulls and their mouths are lined with sharp
fangs. Their eyes burn with the reddish-orange glow of
hell’s own fire.
Soulsmiths. Eeüröns are among the greatest
metalworkers to have ever lived, born and bred to craft
marvels of infernal steel. Each Eeürön crafts their own
unique weapon as a rite of passage, and embeds a fragment
of their own soul inside it. In this way the Eeüröns escape
returning to the Hells when slain, protecting them from
the wrath of their former masters.
Deadbolts. Deadbolts follow the Craft of Forgefather
Vronazar, master of bolts and bows. They are marksmen,
outrangers, and survivalists.
Flamespeakers. Flamespeakers follow the Craft of
Forgefather Hrulgannan, master of fire. They are sorcerers
and orators that seek to perfect the art of pyromancy.
Bellringers. Bellringers follow the Craft of Forgefather
Khannag, master of destruction, and are fanatic warriors
that deafen themselves in their pursuit of ever-greater
destructive strength.
Warlords. Warlords follow the Craft of High
Forgefather Dhanganathor, master of masters, and are
tacticians, leaders, and steady fighters. Each Eeürön war
party is always led by a Warlord.
16
Krubs
Krubs are small, frantic devils with an appearance
reminiscent of both deep gnomes and goblins, their greyish
skin adorned with odd, rocky protrusions in places. These
chittering creatures are native to the deep ravines and lava-
choked gorges of the Hells, where they dwell as sprawling,
closely-interlinked clans that obsessively mine for jewels
and other valuables. Krubs are greedy, impulsive, and
cruel, but have an uncanny sense of community that
seems to bind them together despite their utter disdain for
other beings.
Cave Dwellers. Krubs are perfectly adapted to life among
rock and stone, most at home far from the sun. They are
expert climbers and know how to hide perfectly in rocky
surroundings.
Cluck Cluck Boom. Krubs have many odd rituals, but
none more deadly or revered by them as Cluck Cluck
Boom, a dangerous game of chicken where two or more
Krubs will hold lit dynamite sticks and seek to be the last
to throw them away.
Hellforge Colossi
Forged from infernal steel and layered adamantine,
Hellforge Colossi are powerful siege automatons crafted by
the Eeüröns as weapons of war. Each colossus carries in its
plated chest a hellforge, a self-fuelling heart of fire that fills
the automaton with unnatural strength and makes its outer
shell scaldingly hot to the touch.
Siege Automatons. Hellforge Colossi are designed to
smash down gates and tumble castle walls, equipped with
immense piledrivers and capable of drawing on their
hellforge to accelerate at incredible speed in a straight line.
Dispelling Vulnerability. A Hellforge Colossus is well-
protected against magical assault, powerful infernal runes
inscribed throughout its frame. It can, however, still be
impeded by effects that thwart magic. Should a Hellforge
Colossus be targeted by the Dispel Magic spell, it is stunned
for one round.

Infernal Wounds. The eeürön’s weapon attacks are magical

and cause infernal wounds on any hit that causes slashing
or piercing damage. If the target is a creature other than
an undead or a construct, it must succeed on a DC 12
Constitution saving throw or lose 5 (1d10) hit points at the
start of each of its turns due to an infernal wound. Each time
the devil hits the wounded target with this attack, the damage
dealt by the wound increases by 5 (1d10). Any creature can
take an action to staunch the wound with a successful DC 10
Wisdom (Medicine) check. The wound also closes if the target

Bonus Actions
Strategic Command. The eeürön gives a verbal command to
a single ally within 60 feet of it. That creature may move 5 feet.
This movement does not trigger attacks of opportunity.

Actions
Multiattack. The eeürön attacks twice with its
Infernal Battleaxe.

Infernal Battleaxe. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5

Actions
Multiattack. The eeürön makes two attacks: one with its
“light” ballista, and one with its infernal blade.

Infernal Blade. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft.,

one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) slashing damage.

“Light” Ballista. Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range

200/800 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (2d12 + 5) piercing damage. If
the target is Medium or smaller, it must succeed on a DC 13
Strength saving throw or be pushed 10 ft. directly away from
the eeürön and knocked prone.

Infernal Shrapnel Bolt (Recharge 6). The eeürön shoots a

magically charged ballista bolt at a point within 200 feet of it. It
explodes on impact, sending infernal shrapnel in all directions.
Each creature within 15 feet of the target location must
succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or take 14 (4d6)
piercing damage and gain an infernal wound.

and structures.

Burning Fist. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one

target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) bludgeoning damage, and the target
catches fire. Until someone takes an action to douse the fire,
the creature takes 5 (1d10) fire damage at the start of each of
its turns.

Blazing Charge (Recharge 5-6). The colossus bursts into

flame and charges at least 20 ft. in a straight line, moving
through any intervening creatures. Any creature in its path
must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 17
(5d6) fire damage and falling prone on a failed save, or taking
half as much damage on a successful one. This movement
does not trigger opportunity attacks.

Reactions
Purge Heat (1/Day). When an attack hits the colossus, it may
release a blast of fire and steam. Each creature in a 20 ft. cube
centered on it must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw,
taking 17 (5d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one. Until the start of the colossus’
next turn, the cube is heavily obscured.
