Description

Hired to help with an archaeological dig, you traveled to the lower caves of Avernum. Normally you would've declined such a job, but the pay was good enough for you to tolerate a few weeks of dusting rocks. You set up camp in a vast, clearly ancient cave dominated by an immense lake, where a ruined Vahnatai city was half-submerged. After days of picking pieces of debris out of the lake, you had very little to show for your work. Then, a giant creature leaped out of the water and smashed your boat, drowning the rest of the expedition. Now, you just have to escape the cave...

Darkness is my fourth BoA scenario, and it took fourth in the 24-hour Contest, behind all three of Lazarus' entries. So far, it is my only 24-hour scenario, and it actually only took about 17 hours of non-stop work. I'm particularly proud of it, though I think it got a little too weird as I started to lose sleep. Apparently, it didn't have enough trees to merit any good reviews.
