The Dragon of Umbros: a Short OSR Adventure

The great hundred-headed dragon Ladon was the protector of the Grove of the Golden Apples, where the nymphs known as the Hesperides tend the golden apple trees of the gods. Now, however, he has begun to assail the people of the island of Umbros, on which the grove stands, and none know why. The Tyrant of Umbros and the High Priestess of Theia are offering a high bounty for his death.Will you take on the ferocious dragon, or will you try to resolve the situation peacefully? Perhaps there is more going on than meets the eye...
 
I wrote an adventure! It's based on Ancient Greek myth, and should work with any system that has hitpoints, spells, ability scores, and Hit Dice without any adaptation. Fair warning, I never got around to playtesting it, but it should take 1-3 sessions. If you do end up using it, please let me know how it goes!
