This second volume offers up to four adventures to backers… [I]Trouble in the Catacombs [/I](Level 5) [hq]The famously incompetent necromancer Hang-root has really messed up this time. While researching a powerful artefact, she has unwittingly animated a long dead nobleman, named Canton, and his servants in Catacombs, trapping an exploration party. The undead have organised themselves to reclaim what was once theirs. It falls on you to rescue the exploration party and lay the undead to rest.[/hq] [I]The Vampire of Vadim[/I] (Level 6) [hq]After several residents were found dead, their bodies drained of blood, the people of Vadim hired a charismatic traveling vampire hunter who promised to track and kill the abomination. After hearing rumours of similar incidents happening in other towns along the coast, Malachi, the local barkeep, suspects the hunter and vampire to be working together in a foul money making scheme, and he’s asked you to prove him right.[/hq] [CENTER] [IMG]http://www.enworld.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=84007&stc=1[/IMG][/CENTER] [I]Of Worgs & Goblins[/I] (Level 7) [hq]The people of Atmos Vale have recently been the victims of a devastating goblin raid. The unusually organised and intelligent goblins overran the town and captured several townsfolk before retreating back into the forest. Viscount De Byat has asked for you all by name, and suspecting there is more to the goblins than meets the eye, has requested that you help retrieve the missing townsfolk, and bring to justice those responsible, no matter the cost.[/hq] [I]The Orc Situation[/I] (Level 8) [hq]The leader of a local caravan company wants to cut one of their normal routes in half to save the company large amounts of time and money with every trip. The only problem, the proposed route cuts right through the middle of Orc territory. She has asked you to ‘relocate’ a particularly violent tribe away from the route, dead or alive.[/hq] Each adventure in the series comes with a backstory, tips on how to customise or adapt the adventure to your campaign/setting, the adventure itself, a player mpa and a DM map, notes on how to expand the adventure and plot hooks for future sessions and an appendix of NPCs, Monsters and Magic Items. [h=3][SIZE=5][URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/298854994/darkness-surges-the-second-asatania-campaign-arc-f"][B]Darkness Surges – The Second Asatania Campaign Arc for 5E by Michael Cerny[/B][/URL][/SIZE][/h] (Campaign Ends : Friday 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] June 2017; 00:00 UTC) [CENTER] [IMG]http://www.enworld.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=84008&stc=1[/IMG][/CENTER] The campaign world of [I]Asatania[/I] is being released as a series of story arcs. The first instalment, [I]Crashing Chaos[/I], was a successful Kickstarter project last year and now the team are back with the second instalment – [I]Darkness Surges[/I]. [hq]Under orders from their liege-lord, the King of the Windsome Chain, players must make the treacherous journey west. They will travel through lands thrown into turmoil, to the great dwarven capital of Hammermuir. They are to negotiate a treaty with the dwarves to safeguard both kingdoms from the army of brutal savages which has invaded from across the sea. It won’t be easy – war is raging in the land that they must traverse – and all is not what it seems. Ancient secrets will be exposed, hidden powers revealed, and new mysteries unveiled. Like [I]Crashing Chaos[/I], the story arc features high quality writing, original ark, complex NPCs, and themes for mature gamers to really sink their teeth into. There’s combat aplenty, but players are expected to have more than just a hammer in their bag of tricks. Negotiating, creative problem solving, and sometimes just living to fight another day =- all are going to be needed to survive the challenges of [I]Darkness Surges[/I]. At the end of [I]Crashing Chaos[/I], characters should have achieved level 6. [I]Darkness Surges[/I] will see them through the start of level 8.[/hq] ********** If you like what we do here at EN World (the Forums, Columns, News, ENnies, etc) and would like to help support us to bring you MORE please consider supporting our [URL="https://www.patreon.com/enworld"]Patreon[/URL].
