"The once proud castle of the Barons of Caeldo is a tumbling ruin, populated by rats and hawks. 'Tis said that demons inhabit the cold corridors of the castle and the pits below, and that to spend a night within its walls is to risk horrible death (but that's just a silly old wives' tale!). The King in Tualyn is offering 10,000 pieces of gold to anyone who can spend a week in the old ruin - and a title and the Barony! Think of it! a fortune for sleeping in an old castle and fighting off a few mice and birds! And the rumors of treasure within its walls - magical artifacts* huge piles of gold and jewelry, fabulous rugs and tapestries, all sorts of treasure! Just spend a week cleaning up the castle, dusting off the cobwebs, stomping an occasional rat, and the Barony, the castle, and all its treasures are yours! The Demon Pits of Caeldo is a scenario packed with possibilities for adventure. From the time the players encounter the highwaymen who lair in the gatehouse of the deserted pile of stone til they venture into the demon-ridden pits below the castle proper, the excitement never ends - yet it is suitable for middle level characters. A fine play aid, usable with all the major systems."
