The village of /“Backwater”/ is small and poor. Some farms, a temple, a smithy. The kingdom has recently fought in a war, and some young ones went there. They came back, still without experience, because the war was not bloody, but with some equipment and a hunger for adventure.
Then the earthquake opened a sinkhole in the wood. The village elders saw among the rubble and dirt a floor of flagstones some 60 feet down, some broken columns, and a wooden door in the western wall. While the townsfolk knit a long ropeladder, the young adventurers were called upon to take a look in and find out if there might be something interesting to be found.
YOU are these adventurers. From the kingdom, you got a spear, a helm and a wooden shield, and you got 3d6x10 gold in pay for your services to the crown.
Roll six times 3d6 in order and create your adventurer. Traditional order to roll in B/X (Moldvay) rules, or Old School Essentials, is STR, INT, WIS, DEX, CON, CHA.
