The city of Amberveil has stood for three centuries at the edge of the Greywood — a prosperous, if unremarkable, place of merchants, guildhalls, and cobblestone streets. Travelers pass through. Caravans stop for the night. Life moves at an ordinary pace.
Centuries ago, the region was ruled by a cruel and ruthless man: Baron Malgrath Voss. In his final days, he ordered the construction of his last grand project — his royal tomb. Thousands of slaves spent years excavating the site, carving out one hundred floors, each filled with traps to protect the Baron and his many ill-gotten riches.
Much time has passed since then, and the kingdom has entered an age of prosperity and peace. Recently, however, there have been attacks on the roads near Amberveil from all manner of monstrosities, ranging from the undead to goblins. The King of Greywood dispatched scouts to investigate, who reported that the source of these attacks is the Baron's tomb — now known only as the Maw.
The King sent knights of the Holy Order to solve the problem. Each time they return from their expeditions, they come brandishing powerful magical items and telling stories of the great horrors they faced within. After several trips, however, townsfolk begin to notice that something about these noble knights has changed. It starts subtly — a loosening of old convictions, a growing indifference to things that used to matter. Mercy begins to feel like inefficiency. Oaths begin to feel like cages. And deeper urges — ones most people spend a lifetime keeping quiet and civilized — begin to feel not shameful, but reasonable. Natural. Deserved.
There are two universal constants among any who enter the Maw: if they leave, they will return, and one of those trips will be the last time anyone sees them.
The King has set a bounty of generational wealth and the title of Duke upon anyone who can reach the bottom and stop the attacks at their source. Will you be able to meet the challenge? And will you be able to recognize yourself if you do?

Hello! I hope that the premise of the campaign sounds interesting. I am looking for a long term RP partner to build a slow corruption arc. There will be many decision points in which the player character can choose to gain power at the price of moral degradation. I would also like to make traps that involve a sexual element in the BDSM variety. There is an angle of monster fucker as well for a fail-state on many of the floors, depending on if thats your cup of tea or not.
I have DMd a couple SFW campaigns with my friends, but this will be my first foray into the world of NSFW. I would like to run the campaign in DnD 5e or pathfinder, as those are the systems I have the most experience with. If this sounds interesting to you, please shoot me a message with what intrigues you most, as well as a kinklist/limits.
