Ten Stout Dwarves (10 Little Indians adapted to LL)

[harmyn]

I came up with this some time ago for use in an adventure I was going to run for my group by basing a deadly little dungeon around it. Sadly I have never gotten a chance to use this so I figured I might share it here. Maybe it will inspire someone. I took the old poem "10 Little Indians" and adapted it for use in a fantasy game. I decided to go with dwarves as the base reference. So now give you Ten Stout Dwarves.


Ten stout dwarves went into the mine,
One went in the well and then there were nine.

Nine stout dwarves needed dragon’s bait,
One stepped forward then there were eight.

Eight stout dwarves readied dough and leaven,
One fell into the oven and then there were seven.

Seven stout dwarves armed with axes and picks,
One cut down his brother and then there were six.

Six stout dwarves still managed to survive,
One broke the seal and then there were five.

Five stout dwarves broke down the door,
One stepped across and then there were four.

Four stout dwarves still had mastery to see,
One dowsed the torch and then there were three.

Three stout dwarves offered the Keeper its due,
One stole back his coin and then there were two.

Two stout dwarves left only to run,
One falls down and then there was one.

One stout dwarf hunts the fading sun,
He found the warrior’s peace and then there were none.

LOL! Too funny!

Let's see what the forum can do with another one?

How 'bout

Ten little goblins marching in a line,
"Whack" went the troll and then there were nine

I just watched the 1965 version the other day, and followed it by reading the book; I then found myself thinking this would be a good Ravenloft-style adventure using LL, T&T, or BRP! Ha, someone beat me to the idea. Hope you(or someone else)gets to give this a shot. I'm gonna see what I can do with the premise, but I might not be able to right away. Love to hear/see play report on this one!
