The Gnawing in the Deep

Brave an abandoned delve, wade through toxic vapors, and face a horrifying predator in this tense dungeon crawl

A 1st/2nd-level adventure for 5e

Adventure Background

The Gnawing in the Deep is a fifth edition adventure designed for four to six characters and optimized for four characters with an average party level (APL) of 1 and 2. This adventure can be dropped as a side quest in any existing campaign or used as a one-shot.

The mine called Ghostrock Delve has been developed for just a couple of months by a local dwarven community from a small frontier town called Brightshore.
Two days ago, a collapse in one of the newly dug galleries revealed a network of natural caverns. No one was harmed in the collapse itself, but one of the caverns had been chosen by a grick as a nesting site. Driven by instinct to defend its clutch, the creature attacked immediately, killing two miners on the spot. The rest fled in terror, describing the attacker as a grotesque mix of snake, worm, and octopus. Shaken by the grick’s ferocity and fearing further collapses, the dwarven community has barred re-entry until someone clears the threat.
A day ago, a layabout dwarf named Bolgrin Stone­brew, emboldened by one too many tankards of ale, decided he’d be a hero and ventured into the mine with his father’s war pick Emberstrike. He hasn’t returned.
