Shadow of the Demon Lord Adventure Pack 1

Four Shadow of the Demon Lord adventures for Starting / Novice level characters


A Year Without Rain (Starting)

Even as the darkness from the Void casts its shadow across Urth, there are other dangers found lurking in the gloamings of the world. Some perils seek to entrap the innocent. Some are never defeated, their evils only delayed for a time. And at least one hungers for blood and meat to sustain its immortality. Tonight, this horror sets out to feed its vile hunger with fresh flesh.
Combat encounter maps included: Laugher's Shrine


Dead by Dawn (Starting)

The killings begin as the drought afflicting the town of Asylum threatens to stretch into another year. Townsfolk, dead and dry as shed snakeskins, their bodies papery and crumbling, turn up night after night. Who or what is killing the good people of Asylum is what the player characters must discover in this adventure. The characters eventually find that it's something living down in the well--which is the one remaining source of water for miles around.

The Apple of Her Eye (Novice)

Survival in the world under the shadow of the Demon Lord is difficult, not just for risk-taking adventurers and would-be heroes, but for ordinary folk faced daily with threats of starvation, illness, and madness. When small sacrifices can ensure the survival, even prosperity, of an entire community, aren't they worth making? Some might think so, or at least tell themselves as much in the small hours of the night, when the distant cries of those sacrifices echo in their memories.

The Demon's Wet Nurse (Novice)

The group of characters find themselves caught in a net of a cult's plot to wreak havoc and, in so doing, loose a hideous demon into the world. During the adventure, the characters explore the community and deal with the locals to gather the clues they need to find the source of the threat.
