Hel's Crow's Final Rest

 

By Gus L.

Ratking Productions

Basic levels 1-3


Premise: Undead raiders hold the survivors of a small village hostage needing a relic from the village temple to end their unlife.


What do we get here?


 This is a simple six page adventure that comes with a temple that has 8 rooms.


Usability/formatting


 Thanks to the double column format and some good use of bolding this is a really easy to scan and use adventure with some really nice art work. The whole thing is based around faction play which is clearly described for the DM to understand.


 Everything you need is included from simple maps down to all the stats for possible combatants. There are not many magical items included but the ones that are have a decent amount of flavour to them.


 I got a little confused as to where some of the NPCs should be in the temple however that is a minor quibble and possibly a fault on my end.


 This is a great example of how to set a short adventure and how to resist the excesses of over writing.


 Portability


 Viking themed so that will be the best type of campaign or part of the world to drop this adventure down into however you can easily reskin this adventure to fit other locations or themes. You could just as easily make this about desert raiders for example.


 Recommendation


 Perfect for plopping down in a hex or slotting between larger adventures in a campaign. Just make sure your players understand that the this is an adventure focused round RP/negotiation or they are going to get themselves splatted by one of the two faction leaders.


 You can't argue with free, especially at this high level of quality!
