Generate A Homebrew Dungeon Scenario From A Single Hook
You have a hook and a session booked, and nothing in between. This expands the idea into a full premise, lays out five to seven connected rooms with a purpose and sensory detail for each, plants a central twist, and scales an encounter and a non-combat obstacle to your actual party.

**Generate** a homebrew dungeon scenario from the hook below.
Hook: {SCENARIO_HOOK}
Party level and size: [level, number of players]
1. Expand the hook into a one paragraph premise explaining why the party is here and what is at stake.
2. Design the dungeon as five to seven connected rooms or areas, each with a short description, its purpose (combat, puzzle, roleplay, treasure), and one sensory detail that makes it memorable.
3. Place one central twist partway through that recontextualises the hook, for example the villain is not who the party expected.
4. Suggest one encounter appropriately scaled to the stated party level and one non-combat obstacle that rewards creative solutions over brute force.
