This is a play report for a megadungeon run by my friend bue. I have been told that it contains material from Dyson's Delve. FMC Basic is our framework of choice.

With Kurt Krieger and Schwerthelm still unaccounted for, Korbinian and Bill Batmann asked former guard Berta Bon Beretta for help.
They commenced their rescue effort by searching for another path down to the level things had gone to shit last week.
The party made its way to the 3rd level by passing through level 2 and finally a hall of pillars where corpses of batfolk were hanged, supposedly the work of their bigger cousins.
Rows of burial niches filled with glittering objects greeted them, but they had no time to spare. Their comrades were still somewhere, possibly dead.
A trail of blood led them east.
Suddenly, 6 firebugs came scuttling along, so Berta, Bill, and Korbinian hid in a niche.
The band of bugs passed them by and turned a corner.
And then there were noises and flames lighting up the catacomb tunnels.
The insects had encountered someone else, a pair of Widerling ghouls.
The rescue team remained calm and waited for the 2 camps of creatures to finish their battle.
Some of the bugs retreated, and the party seized the opportunity to get rid of the ghastly people eaters, as they were badly hurt by the bugs.
As they searched for their comrades, they found the skeleton of a reptilian humanoid with obsidian claws and a tail, but neither Kurt nor Schwerthelm was anywhere to be seen.
Thus Berta followed the trail of blood and discovered a hidden door leading to a circular burial chamber.
Kurt Krieger and Schwerthelm were still alive!
Although Kurt had lost two fingers to the Widerlings.
Korbinian discovered a spell scroll on the sarcophagus and another after Berta Bon Beretta opened the sarcophagus.
Of course Berta unsealed the coffin from a safe distance, as she expected it to be trapped.
And indeed it was.
A big flash of an explosion went off the second she pulled away the stone lid with rope and a hook.
The first spell was Samsa's Dream (turn a creature into a big bug), and the second one was The Story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin (control rats).
So the party returned home, excited to return next week, for there were many glittering things they had no time to pilfer!
