Paths Peculiar
Any basic system, low level(?)
Premise: “The eccentric, but rather successful, merchant Arthur Cobblesworth died a few months ago and was buried in his mausoleum. Since then there have been reports of Arthur “howling like a bloody banshee” during dark nights. The townsfolk are afraid that Mr. Cobblesworth will wake the other dead in the cemetery, and want the player characters to go and put him to sleep again.”
What do we get here?
A simple one page dungeon with six keyed locations.
Usability/formatting
If you are ever looking for an example of a simple, clean way out to lay out a one page adventure I highly suggest using this one as inspiration. Everything is clean an easy to understand from the art to the map and writing.
Because of the shortness of the one page set up there is not a lot of depth here however this is a fun little scenario to play out for your players thanks to the demon possessed parrot and wandering, mostly harmless zombie.
The writing could be a little more evocative, it is very workman like leaving it up to the referee to build the atmosphere. Where the adventure could also do with a bit more personality is in the treasure, there are no magic items just some mundane loot which your players might have a hard time selling anyway unless they haul it out of town.
Portability
Short on specific details you can drop this adventure any place that has merchants and pet parrots.
Recommendation
I really like this as a diversion from the usual undead problem adventures. Things may be a little on the short side here but you get more than enough frame work to graft on to. Can you really go wrong with a demon possessed parrot and whatever chaos might ensue from releasing it?
