New Adventure! - Soul of the Forest - Level 3
🕑 Added 2022-05-31 20:23:05 +0000 UTCTraveler! This is a dungeon-crawling map of an ancient mausoleum. This publication is not part of the Dungeon Vault Magazine compilation. Instead, it belongs to an adventure published in the DM's Guild called "Music of the Night". Here's the BLURB:
In Soul of the Forest, a grieving mage looks for a way to revert a family tragedy that took his wife and children a few years back. To recover his family, the man delved into the forbidden knowledge of necromancy. The common spells would not serve him as he needed to revert what happened. He devised an incantation that would bring them all back as if nothing had happened but it would require more raw energy than he could muster. The mage decided to take the lives of innocent travelers to siphon the life force contained within their bodies and channel it into the Soul of the Forest. With enough of it, he would be able to take over the whole forest and use its energy to power the nefarious spell.

The sudden disappearances have caused enough distress in nearby communities that the local authorities offer a reasonable reward for mercenaries and sellswords willing to earn a dime and earn some renown. The characters must first visit the sites where the townsfolk went missing and track the mage back to his lake house. But there's more, the forest's response to the necromancy channeling has caused a powerful spirit known as the Guardian of the Forest to emerge and command the wildlife to attack non-fey in the area. The necromancer has not been able to keep these creatures at bay either.
