DESCRIPTION
Suggested Level: 3
Something's rotten in the town of Ardenwold. Locals are falling dead and rising as violent ghouls, but who's to blame? The masked monks who live in the hills? A green hag lurking by the crossroads? Or an ambitious local business owner?
This is an investigation-focused experience with plenty of roleplay, combat, and sleuthing. You can run it for players around Level 3 or 4, and it should take about three sessions to complete. While you can set the story in any fantasy region, I wrote it for the Ember Dale, a campaign setting that's coming out on Patreon later this month. If you're running this side quest, I suggest reading The Town of Ardenwold PDF first for details on stores, surrounding landmarks, and local lore.
Enjoy!
