Lair of the Lamb

Character generation

Ability scores

All 12 peasants start play very dehydrated. For each of STR, DEX and WIL, in order roll 2d6 for a total of 2-12. If a peasant can get hydrated, for each Ability Score roll 1d6 and add to its score for a total of 3-18.

Profession

Roll a d100 on the Profession table on page six for each peasant.

Skills

You can use these to optionally lean into fictional positioning, just as you would with a background in Cairn.

Hit Protection

Roll d4 for Hit Protection.

Equipment

One lucky peasant starts with a knife (d6). Without a backpack, each person can only carry a single bulky item or two smaller items. They can wear things, of course.

Debt

The 12 peasants starting in the dungeon share a debt of 10000s. They were convicted for the crime of breaking a taboo they were not aware of, and were unable to pay their fine. Escaping alive is probably the top priority now though.

Creatures

Only stats converted to Cairn, additional information is given in Lair of the Lamb. Values for STR, DEX and WIL are assumed to be 10 if not listed.
