Adventure - Journey Into Darkness
🕑 Added 2022-07-02 15:42:05 +0000 UTCSend your players to the frozen north to uncover ancient secrets, explore a wintry frontier town, and battle eldritch horrors!
This 30+ page PDF contains everything you need to run the adventure, including monster stats, setting details, pre-written NPCs, and a step-by-step story walk-through.
Journey Into Darkness is balanced for players at Level 6, but the PDF contains suggestions for how some encounters can be rebalanced for different levels.
It's also designed to be launched from any starting location — you don't need to be running a seafaring or far-northern campaign already. As long as your players are near a coastal region or a major river, the adventure can begin, either as a stand-alone story or part of a larger campaign.
All seven maps needed for this adventure (both gridded and ungridded versions) are attached below.

Glad you're enjoying this one, I had so much fun putting it together. Good idea with the small crew as well, it'll help keep the sailing mechanics simple and give you a few people for the tentacles to drag over the side, to really put the fear into your players! Great idea about doing an area map as well, I'll try to add that this week.
Great job on this! It's obvious you put a lot of effort and creativity into this. It has a ton of flavor and all the good elements of a mysterious past. When I run this, I will just add a small crew to help them sail. An area map might also be helpful. Excellent adventure with a great story!
