i have a group thats soon going away from the carnival part of the Adventure. (Wild beyond the witchlight) I wanted to put a little christmas spirit in the campaign now that christmas is coming. Some great ideas would be fantastic!
A friendly NPC that the party likes comes to them with a problem. It seems that the NPC in question has received a letter informing them that they have committed a "naughty act" and this act of evil (maybe something as benign as a simple white lie) has tipped the scale on their soul according to an ancient artifact known as the Maledictum Scriptorum (the naughty list), which codifies all evil acts and occasionally arbitrarily sells the souls of those on its pages to devils in the nine hells. The NPC in question will be "collected" at the stroke of midnight in a day or so by those working for the owner of the artifact, and then be turned over to the devils who will soon own their soul.
Currently the tome is in the possession of the Lords Wyntyr, a two-headed ettin lord of a wintery Fey-realm. The Lords Wyntyr reside in an ice fortress guarded by paindeer (minotaur stat block) and is attended to by squat fey slaves (deep gnome stat block). The interior of the castle may be decorated by various holiday trappings of wreaths and ornaments that might transform into twig, needle, or vine blights to ward off invaders. There may also be a gelatinous cube or two pretending to be giant fruitcakes. Bound in a decorative prison, is the winter realm's previous fey lord, a dryad (use conclave dryad stat block), bound to a decorated pine tree with mystical garland chains. Also the prison area might hold other fey and humanoid creatures awaiting their fate as servants of the devils that deal with the Lords Wyntyr.
The party must sneak into the castle and get the Maledictum Scriptorum. Helping free the previous fey lord might help them in combating the Lords Wyntyr or help in destroying the tome at the conclusion of the adventure.
