The city is reeling after a rash of gruesome murders. People everywhere are panicking, a curfew is in effect, and packs of guards roam the streets at night. Still, new victims are found almost daily. So far, 33 have been discovered, of varying races, ages, and backgrounds. The bodies: all found in various states of dismemberment and decay, the missing body parts nowhere to be found. No one is safe.
In desperation, the city leaders hired several groups of heroes to come in and succeed where the others have all failed. Hundreds of gold pieces have been promised to anyone that can track down the culprit and stop him for good.
It paid off. The murderer has been narrowed down to a decrepit house at the edge of the city, The Niebolt Manor. Two groups have gone in already, after several days, none of them have been heard from since. Your group now stands ready, and has been promised a small fortune in gold to make these murders stop.
As you stand in front of the house, rotted floorboards and eaves, broken windows, and gaping holes in the seams stare back at you, filling you with foreboding. And as you approach the door, it swings open to welcome you, revealing nothing but blackness, as a high pitched shriek of laughter flows out, wrapping you in the sound, dripping with hideous malice even as it beckons you forward.....
Recruiting for a little Halloween one shot, hopefully wrapping up by around that time. This will be for 4-6 8th level characters. Since it's just a one shot, I'm not looking for a real deep backstory. Here's what I'm wanting:
