Shadow of the Broodmother - A Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting
Slkvol the aboleth broodmother has, for the past few million years, shaped the ecology of Milakul swamp to best serve its own interests: the native swallybogs worship Slkvol as a deity, the fauna all bear signs of Slkvol’s modifications, and adventurers are enthralled to spread word of how uninteresting and unworthy of exploration the swamp is. However, Dr. Doolots is not so easily deterred.
Mad Biomancer's Tower - A Humperdink's Wares Adventure
The infamous thief and gadgeteer, L’Arsène Upin, and his oft-pursued friend, Harried Houdinky, have set their sights on a most guarded treasure; the chromanova. However, with Houdinky misplaced whilst casing the joint, and L’Arsène’s last ‘subcontractors’ missing in action, he now turns to the party. Using Houdinky’s magically graffitied audio messages, the players must navigate the traps and trials of Dr. Francis N. Stein’s abandoned wizard’s tower. Will they satiate the servants? Will they surpass the puzzles? And, most importantly, will they emerge from the biomancer’s abode unchanged, without having succumbed to one of Dr. Frank Stein’s biological experiments? This free 5th edition one-shot, optimised for four 5th-level characters, is adapted from L’Arsène’s Ludicrous Larceny, an adventure designed by Humperdink’s Wares and Loot Tavern.
