Hunter of Worlds...5th to 7th Level! DCC14 Dungeon Interludes

Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Dungeon Crawl Classics | One-Shot

About the adventure

Celestial events are taking shape, and the world is on the brink of a grand astral conjunction. The stars and planets will soon be in alignment to empower the most potent dark sorceries the world has seen in millennia. The last time the convergence occurred the realms were convulsed. It's been almost one hundred years since the last convergence. There has been peace since those savage wars with armies of undead, ogres, demonic armies and evil wizards. The wars and the reasons for them are all but forgotten. Yet, there have been an increase in disrtubances on the frontier...raids conducted by soldiers dressed in red and black; graveyards and shrines desecrated; mines and miners ceasing to be heard from... Dungeon Crawl Classics: DCC14 Dungeon Interludes is a slightly different beast than other adventures in the series. Rather than presenting one epic module to test the mettle of your group, Interludes provides a series of one-shopts that can be both a stand-alone adventure or played as a linked campaign There are six adventures tied together using the over-arching storyline or taken as separate, bite-sized nuggets. As the scenarios unfold, there are plot hooks, tidbits and clues that reveal this plot line and help tie one adventure into the next. However, the adventures can also easily be played separately. The summoner and his lieutenants make excellent villains, several of which can resurface in different scenarios.

Recruiting notes

While surprised by the sudden storm, you’re grateful that it woke you when it did, despite being soaked to the bone. The stranger in your camp was a most unwelcome guest. You surprised a shadow elf rifling through your foodstuffs and water skins. As surprised to see you awake as you were to see him, the elf fled into the nearby hills. Thankfully, steady rain made the ground soft enough that you had a decent set of tracks to follow; but, wait too long and the tracks would be erased. You must have made serious enemies..as you follow the trail, you can’t help but wonder just who is behind this robbery or aborted assassination attempt. Weere they after the Eye of the Night, the gem entrusted to you for safe keeping by the Druid Thistle? Or perhaps the Lens of Detection discovered hidden among the evil doers who had desecrated the Shrine of Arden Brightheart. Your focus quickly snaps back to the present as you find the end of the tracks. The villain took a circuitous path through the foothills, but the trail ends abruptly at a large metal door fixed into the side of a hill. Shaking the last bit of rain from your gear, you gird your- self for whatever dangers may lie ahead. You want some answers, and you hope to find some beyond this door. The adventure is the third adventure in the Dungeon Interludes series by Jason Little. It is a series of six adventures that takes the heroes from a chance encounter through a series of deeds of derring-do which ultimatekly lead them to saving the world from a grand villain... This adventure is the third chapter played as a one shot with your favorite 5th to 7th Level characters. Come play this chapter...if you wish play the previous two as prequels and finish the series.
