Then they stack the characters; their least favorite on top, most favorite on the bottom.Round One: They are the "adopted children" of a powerful wizard who has raised them in his new lair high in the isolated mountains. On the night of a particular astral event, he takes them to a magical cave and asks them to return with the golden shard they will find within. They come across a huge skeletal guardian which, though they damage it heavily, kills them all. Round Two: They are the servants of a powerful wizard who has raised them in his lair high in the isolated mountains. On the night of a particular astral event, he takes them to a magical cave and orders them to return with the golden shard they will find within. They come across a highly damaged skeletal guardian which they easily finish off. Then they all get killed by the hidden trap in the next room.Round Three: They are the slaves of a powerful, but aging, wizard who has raised them in his weathered lair high in mountains near the village of Snowhorn. On the night of a particular astral event, he takes them to a magical cave and orders them to return with the golden shard they will find within. They find several skeletons, some the victims of a sprung fire-trap. Then they make the mistake of taking the left bridge instead of the right and they all perish in the abyss below.  Round Four: They are the slaves of a wizard, ancient beyond reckoning, who has raised them in his crumbling lair high in the mountains north of the town of Snowhorn. They often have dreams of strangers wandering through a cave and meeting their deaths. On the night of a particular astral event, he takes them to a magical cave and demands that they return with the golden shard they will find within. Armed with the memories of their dreams, they choose the right bridge. They find the golden shard, but there is a lot of treasure too! They take some, and die from the curse put upon it.Round Five: Kidnapped by a lich from the city of Snowhorn when still young, they are dragged to a magic cave on a moonlit night and forced to retrieve a golden shard. The way is relatively unobstructed, and the twisted dead bodies around the treasure convince them not to touch it. They return the golden shard to the lich, who is promptly destroyed by the radiant energy that suddenly pours forth from it. They are now free, but what do they do with the shard?</blockquote>
