723 The Forest Owlbear - Lv3 Adventure
🕑 Added 2023-12-29 20:29:52 +0000 UTCDenizens of the Tower! In The Forest Owlbear, adventurers are hired to deal with a forest abomination that attacks caravans and travelers on the roads that pass near Merwood Forest. The constable, Sir Merin, wishes to be part of this quest as he is buying for the townsfolk's support so he is reelected for his administrative position. This person, while a capable combatant, is a cruel man who may make the characters' task more difficult.
In this level-3 Shadowdark adventure, the heroes delve into Merwood Forest and soon track the owlbear back to a cavern set under the veil of a rocky outcropping formation. Within, they learn that the owlbear is acting aggressively only because it has adopted four orphaned, regular bear cubs. Her maternal instinct, combined with a preternatural effect aided by the forest itself, is at work. Fortunately, there is a way to solve this without violence. Can the characters find out how?
This adventure has been designed for Shadowdark RPG through their 3rd party license. The system is meant to be accessible to OSR players and modern players alike. Adapting the material to 5e or other systems should not be difficult.
We appreciate your help. Because of your awesome support, we can keep producing art, written content, and TTRPG-related stuff!
Until the next one, Elven Tower.
