Description:
The villages of High and Low Dudgeon meet every midsummer to compete in a series of games (from the Low Jump to Donkey Jousting, and a whole host of strange contests in between). For ten years running, High Dudgeon has won, and Low Dudgeon is sick of it. The elders of the village smell magic and trickery, and it's up to the characters to discover why High Dudgeon continues to be victorious. But is all as it seems? What do the blacksmiths of High and Low Dudgeon have to hide? What is the nature of the strange carving on the beam of the High Dudgeon Inn? And why do the High Dudgeon competitors all perform a strange dance before every practice? Set in the high fantasy world of Jack Vance's 'Lyonesse' novels, 'In High Dudgeon' is a Vancian investigation requiring cunning, wit, and the ability to think around corners...

Description:
Designed for those new to fantasy roleplaying games, Shrine of the Traitor Gods introduces some of the key concepts of both RPGs and the Mythras game engine: character cooperation, problem solving, investigation, combat, and magic use.

This is a combat-focused scenario designed to teach and highlight the specific qualities of the Mythras RPG combat system. The players will choose a hero PC from a number of pregens to use. If that PC falls in the first round, they may choose another in the second round.
