Quest For The Murder Sword Review

The infernal Kill-Giant Kharkrazh the Dying finally fell, and around his withering bones cultists and cannibals dug, carved halls and altars beneath the ground in search of a blade most foul. And one night – down there in the blood soaked soil and stone they found His infamous Murder Sword, fully intact in its unholy glory.

 

Quest for the Murder Sword is a one page dungeon by Johan Nohr of Stockholm Kartell/Mork Borg fame. The adventure is system neutral, though it would work great with Mork Borg. I'm thinking about using it in a potential future Old-School Essentials game. While no stats are present, there is a discussion of comparable monsters you can use for them. This is a potentially world changing adventure and I think it would be a gnarly addition to a game. Being centered around a murdered god, it also makes me think of the story for the version of Chainmail that came out in 2001 (it centering around the death of Stratis, a god of war).

You can get the adventure here.
