Axe from the grave
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot
About the adventure
Last year, while exploring the infamous Nulfa’s Tower, tragedy struck The Strings, a musical group turned adventuring party. The famous bard and frontman, Froderic Dartwild, was slain. After a daring escape from Nulfa’s Tower, the surviving members returned their fallen companions to their homes, and Froderic was laid to rest in the humble town of Toadhop. But last night, something unthinkable happened… the undead Froderic Dartwild rose from his grave. He now haunts his childhood home, driving the current residents away in terror. As your adventuring party passes through Toadhop, you hear whispers of the infamous bard’s return. The town is on edge, and everyone’s talking about the haunted house that was once Froderic’s boyhood home. Can you uncover the mystery of why Froderic Dartwild has risen from the grave and put the legeand to rest once and for all?
