Voice of the Screaming Mountain (Trophy Dark)

There are NO SAFE PATHS through Screaming Mountain, ONLY FOOL'S ERRANDS.

Brambleburg hunches at the waypoint between Briar River and Aerie Pass. Bones and pearlescent fragments wash down the thorn-filled river from the huddled gorge above. They say a hoard of flawless pearls, undamaged by the ravaging river, rests deep in the jagged wound of the Screaming Mountain. 

You are not the first treasure-hunters to burrow into its craggy crown to make its fortune yours. Stalwart, determined to survive with spoils, your mission pushes you onward. Will you become one of the cautionary tales you chose to ignore?

PDF files  

• Voice of the Screaming Mountain for GMs to use to run the incursion. Best viewed as two-page spreads (cover separate), since each Ring is presented on a single spread for easy reference.  
  
• VSM FF Treasure-Hunter -Sheet for stingy GMs to give to players. Form-fillable and included with other PDF files. 
• VSM Player file for generous GMs to give to players. Includes abridged Trophy Dark rules for reference. 

Audio files 

I can think of a handful of reasons these files might be useful. Anything from sight-impaired players and GMs, to audio-centric learners, to people who just want to listen to the files in the background while they're doing something else. 

All filenames are spoiler free. 

The first three files are for both players and GMs. 

• VSM-01 Intro: Spoiler-free overview.  
• VSM-02 Trophy Dark Rules Abridged: A quick reference for players and GMs
• VSM-03 Create Treasure-Hunter: Explains how players should build a treasure-hunter 

The next seven files are for GMs only. 

• VSM-04 Ring One 
• VSM-05 Ring Two (option one): This incursion uniquely offers two options for Ring Two. This is the first. 
• VSM-06 Ring Two (option two): This incursion uniquely offers two options for Ring Two. This is the second. 
• VSM-07 Ring Three 
• VSM-08 Ring Four 
• VSM-09 Ring Five 
• VSM-10 Conditions and References: This provides a list of thematically appropriate conditions to inflict on treasure-hunters as well as incursion insights for the GM. 

The last file is just for general amusement. 

• VSM-Bloopers: No major spoilers. My dog was not harmed  in the making of these audio files. She did lose her squeak toy for a bit, though. Also, I did not require a brain transplant for glaring continuity errors in the text.
