The Cult Of Bones
An Adventure for a party of 4 level 1 characters
The Cult of Bones is a dark, investigative Level 1 adventure designed for 4 characters, set on the remote fringes of Dunrath in the mountain fief of Ruth. When townsfolk begin vanishing in the night, the characters uncover a sinister conspiracy hidden in plain sight, where a trusted innkeeper serves a necromantic cult devoted to the god of undeath, Krull. What begins as a grounded mystery escalates into a desperate race against time, leading the party through haunted forests, blighted valleys, and into a long-forgotten temple where innocent lives are prepared for sacrifice to resurrect an ancient necromancer. Blending investigation, moral urgency, and escalating horror, this adventure can be completed in one or two sessions and is ideal for groups who enjoy grim atmosphere, meaningful choices, and a climactic confrontation with real consequences.
Scales And Sundries
An Adventure for a party of 4 level 2 characters
Scales and Sundries is a Level 2 adventure for a party of four that blends caravan escort, wilderness danger, and classic dungeon delving along the rugged northern coast of Silveaera. Hired by a wealthy merchant to safeguard a vital trade shipment, the characters are drawn into a trail of ambushes, betrayals, and clawed tracks that lead from bandit-haunted roads into the forests and caves beyond. As the truth behind the missing caravans is uncovered, the party must navigate trapped kobold warrens, contend with ruthless raiders and monstrous interlopers, and ultimately face a young Varethian dragon whose growing hoard threatens the region’s fragile trade. Designed to fill one or two sessions, this adventure offers a mix of roleplay, exploration, and escalating combat, with meaningful choices and a satisfying sense of closure for both the journey and its companions.
