The Midnight Relic: A Gothic Horror Heist
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot
About the adventure
A vampire has collected a dark relic. It's your sworn duty as a member of the Scarlet Sash to find it and protect the innocent from its power - whatever the cost. You and your Scarlet Sash compatriots make up a secret society of wereravens dedicated to finding dangerous magical items and hiding them safely away from the world. You have intel that Lord Amdys - an eccentric noble you've long suspected to be a vampire - has acquired an artifact of dubious power and tucked it away in the top of his library tower. You've managed to get your talons on a handful of invitations to a masquerade Amdys is hosting at his secluded manor tonight. Can you infiltrate the nefarious festivities, find the relic, and make it out alive? Of course, when you're robbing a vampire, you risk far worse fates than death.
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
