In the North American Empire, there is no higher calling than to become an obnoxious celebrity dungeon-crawler, and the very best of the best are always looking out for ways to distinguish themselves... like the five-hundred foot fun run! This dungeon is a 500 ft. long strip, with only one entrance and one exit. Arrayed along the run are traps, obstacles, locked doors, treasures, and enemies. Alongside the dungeon, in a parallel demiplane, is a captive lich that can only interact with the material plane at certain spots. How quickly can this team make it through? Can they make it though at all?
This micro-dungeon-crawl is ideal for a one-shot experience with throwaway characters and a few drinks. I've run this adventure twice, each time noting the number of rounds taken to complete the dungeon and the real time taken to complete the dungeon. One team took 45 rounds over 2:08 of real time to get through, while the other managed the task in 38 rounds and 3:04 at the table.
The adventure is based on X-Crawl, updated for 5th Edition and divorced from many of the trappings of that system & setting.
