[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6770183, member: 7006"] My go-to for a pre-published adventure that involves mystery and social interaction is 'The Last Breaths of Ashenport' (4E module from online Dungeon #156.) Weird town stuck in perpetual rainfall because most of the townsfolk have begun worshipping Dagon. It's written for 8th level 4E characters, but by swapping over to 5E and using substitutions like kuo-toa instead of the modules "fish men", using Commoner and Cultist NPCs, and adapting the stats of an otyugh for the final tentacle creature, I've been able to run it for 2nd and 3rd level characters quite easily. I actually had access to the [i]Tyranny of Dragons[/i] 5E Expeditions module 'The Secret of Sokol Keep' (which also involves a water demon mystery on Thorn Island in the Bay of Phlan), and ran that one first, leading into the grander Dagon worship plot of 'Ashenport'. My group have really enjoyed trying to uncover the whole plot. [/QUOTE]
