Guild of Ruin-Appraisers · Field Audit No. 001
THE UNDERVAULTS
A Roll-&-Write Solo Dungeon Crawl
You are a field assessor, sent down to audit the treasure vaults of a broken empire. Your dice draw every room, monster, trap and haul onto a single vault sheet — and the Guild bills you for dying.

The job is simple.
The paperwork isn't.
Received without looking up. Stamped twice.

Descend
Take the shaft down. Nobody has balanced these vaults in three hundred years, and the Guild wants numbers.
The lift is safe. The lift is the last thing that is.

№ 02
Survey
Two dice draw the dungeon onto your vault sheet — rooms, exits, monsters, salvage. The sheet is your map. You sign it.
Doubles mean something is wrong. Doubles usually come up.

№ 03
Settle up
Haul your findings back to the ledger. Gold in, deductions out. Dying is an expense — clause 9, Mortality of the Assessor.
The Guild extends its condolences, and an invoice.
