The Red Wolf – an Uncaged adventure of Irish myth (beginners welcome)
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot
About the adventure
"A cairn built over nothing." Ominous way to describe a young girl's grave. As you pick your way through a particularly dense tangle of tree roots, you idly wonder—somewhat morbidly—what ever did become of the body. To slay the beastie, only to take its place haunting the village—and the beastie just comes back in a generation anyway? Not exactly the hero's fate you're gunning for here...gods, that really is a rather substantial paw print. The listing for this "wolf hunt" bounty sure left out a detail or three. Oh well; it's not like you can really afford to—...a whimper reaches your ears on the wind. Gods give ye strength—what's the girl want now? You're none too keen to look into those hollow eyes again. You turn—and feel the hair on your neck stand on end. The Red Wolf is an adventure from volume II of the critically-acclaimed Uncaged adventure anthology, this one drawing on Irish myth and folklore. Every character has a story—even the monsters. Uncaged subverts the tropes of female monsters of legend, and re-tells these stories interactively in D&D.
