One month earlier, a three page preview had been published in 'Dark Horse Presents #100-0,' an exclusive included with Hero Illustrated #26. Each dial bears several different symbols, no two of which repeat.'The Chained Coffin' was published in black and white in Dark Horse Presents #100–2 (Aug 1995).

Set into the rocky cliff at the far side of the ledge stands a great stone archway sealed by an imposing door. This door comprises a special spinning wheel puzzle that forms a central puzzle in the adventure:īeyond the ancient bridge is a 40’ wide, 30’ deep ledge that lies perpendicular to a sheer rock face.

The boxed set proved immensely popular, and not just for the spinning map puzzle. Can the heroes appease that which lies within the Chained Coffin and thwart the dawn of a new and terrible age?ĭCC #83: The Chained Coffin was originally released way back in 2014. Standing in their path are cackling witches, subtle devils, lingering spirits, and a foul thing that moves in the night.

In the shadowy, pine-grown valleys of the Deep Hollows lurk mysteries of a bygone age and a new evil emerging from the ruins of the past. A whispered voice calls from a coffin bound in chains, urging the heroes into the depths of the Shudder Mountains, a place rife with superstition and forlorn secrets.
