Can you hop from pillar to pillar, kill a monster and rescue a princess without dying? Simple enough? Let's find out in this one shot of The Hateful Place RPG!
Description:
It is 1423. On the eastern coast of England, on a beach, a small series of stone pillars or platforms stick out of the black sea, leading out from the shore. These platforms are large stepping-stones, 5’ apart from each other and leading to a 10’ wide sand bank on which is a grotesque MONSTER. Behind him is a captive princess and an anchored ship. The Monster attacked the passing ship, killed its crew, and captured the beautiful princess who is now its prisoner. Your PC group are currently running for their lives, being chased by a pack of vicious and hungry monsters. They are one hour behind you and closing fast. The ship is the only way to safely and quickly escape. Saving a princess is a bonus! FOR THE PLAYERS: Jump from pillar to pillar, defeat the monster, rescue the princess and sail away in her (well-stocked) ship. Don't fall into the deadly black water!
