Quick Synopsis
Calamity has struck the dwarven mining colony at Bordanbog. Inexplicable tunnel collapses are injuring dwarves and causing massive delays to production. The source of these accidents is unknown, but each of the cave-ins is preceded by a tremor passing through the mine! Scouting expeditions have produced no information and two of the search parties have gone missing. Players are offered a reward to find the lost dwarves and discover what force is behind the cave-ins.
So What’s Really Happening?
An enormous creature, the digglewump, has left the deepest caverns below the mountains of Bordanbog and is searching for food in the tunnels near the dwarves' dig site. The creature’s excavations have begun to destabilize all the earthworks in the area. Thankfully, the missing dwarves have only been cut off from the main tunnels and simply need dug out. As for the digglewump, it must be persuaded to move on or the mine is finished. Players can either chase it away with combat or opt for a pacifist solution. In their quest to find the source of the problem, PCs may encounter additional danger including a push puzzle labyrinth full of treasure!
The tunnels near the dwarven mine at Bordanbog are filled with many chambers and challenges including a Push Puzzle Labyrinth! This massive puzzle challenges players to push blocks out of their way in order to move deeper into the maze. However, the wrong move may block them in or cut off their escape! Backers of this project receive multiple variations of the maze map, plus a push block asset they can use to create their own custom puzzles within the labyrinth.
New to push puzzles? No worries. We're including a copy of our push puzzle rules to get you started.
