Regrets in a Dark Corridor (One Page Adventure)

This is a One Page Adventure supposed to be played in any RPG system with a Game Master (GM) and players.  It wasn’t exactly written for a specific genre of scenario but it is most suitable for low fantasy and low technological settings to justify many of the choices made throughout the game. In this adventure it is presumed that the playable characters all must have a dark past which is going to be the main reason of their adversities.

BACKGROUND

The Heaven’s Peak mountains chain is a very wide range of mountains with huge heights and high slopes, in normal conditions no traveller would dare going through it and would just take the way around it even though it usually takes around two weeks to do so.

It just happens that our travelers are very important messengers of their kingdom and a war rapidly approaches, any second they save is a second more their kingdom has to prepare for war and that means everything.

One of the travelers though knows of old tales that tell of the ancient civilizations who built a straight passage through the mountains that only their own people knew how to use and every traveler that dared trying to go through it up to now has never been seen again.

By luck or maybe destiny our travelers happen to find the entrance to it, do they possess what it needs to be able to go through it?

Writer's Note

This game went well for half of my player during play test and the reason is pretty simple, it's based on roleplaying, this story heavily relies on the player truly performing the actions according to the character's personality, also Meta Game is extremely harmful for this story.
