OSR / d20 / Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition Scenario by OnceWas RPG
The Ogres of Worros Woods
A OnceWas Fantasy Adventure for 1st Level Characters
“The village needs heroes. But something far more dangerous than ogres is stirring…”
A Classic Quest with a Dark Twist
The village of Green Meadow faces destruction. Savage ogres raid at night with disturbing intelligence—stealing weapons, kidnapping villagers, and following a plan that monsters shouldn’t possess. The desperate mayor offers 50 gold pieces to anyone brave enough to end the threat.
But this is no simple monster hunt. The trail leads from ogre caves to goblin warrens, revealing a conspiracy that connects werewolves, an immortal orc warlord, and the resurrection of an ancient evil.
Your first adventure in the Wistful World of OnceWas begins here.
