Description


New Rats In Old Bastion is an introductory adventure for Into the Odd. It is set in monolithic city of Bastion that sits upon a mysterious eldritch depths full of opportunity and danger! Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) for your adventurers such folly will have to wait, because they need to do Odd Jobs just to make ends meet! 

This particular Odd Job? Rat-catching! All sorts of new vermin have started to poke their way to the surface as adventurers plunge the depths. The Augemaus in particular has been quite the nuisance, luckily that means it pays more to get rid of them AND it seems the Bastion Scientific League has a bounty on them live or dead! Never been a better time to be a rat-catcher... kinda. 

Players will help clear the Bellamaus Hotelry & Suites of their infestation and will likely find that maybe not is all that it seems...and perhaps that the Augemaus are more than just vermin.

What folks are saying:

“An anachronistic and stylish adventure that hides dark and visceral insides, New Rats provides a compelling and low-stakes hook that spirals into a maze of magic and misfortune”. - Crab Dominion, author of Memory. and The Devil Game



This is my first adventure so I would appreciate any feedback and critique you may have to offer! Please put any thoughts, comments, questions, or whatever in the comments. Reviews and ratings would also be greatly appreciated!
