This week is the first floor of Staidly Wen’s castle. This is the dungeon formed by the castle foundations. It was an austere and utilitarian place before it was abandoned. Now it’s filled with undead and left over traps and protective devices.
Staidly Wen is the wizard version of Walt Disney in Woebegone Park. His castle sits at the park center as a visible landmark from anywhere in the park. As a dungeon / adventure location, I’m also drawing on the Haunted Mansion at Disney so my goal is to use all of the undead creatures from OSE at some point int he castle.
