In "Devouring Dread in the District," your adventurers can explore a slum district plagued by a sinister infestation of bright, sparkling and iridescent scarab beetles. These beetles are peculiar. They collect shiny objects and lay eggs in nests hidden throughout the area, vermin exuding an indelible yellow fog that pollutes the air, making breathing difficult. A peculiar gambit also captures attention: they have begun embedding scarab grubs under their skin, seeking to enhance their intelligence with unpredictable and often disastrous results.
The adventurers can navigate these perilous slums, combating beetle swarms and dealing with afflicted paupers who fiercely defend the nests. Exploration leads them through various buildings, including a washroom, kitchen, storage room, and forgehouse, each with its own dangers and secrets and suggested characterisations of the inhabitants.
The ultimate goal is to locate and destroy the primary scarab nest. Methods such as fire, crushing, flooding, or collapsing the structure is expected be used to eradicate the infestation and bring peace to the beleaguered district.
