The Perils of Ophelia (A-1) (d20)
This Bonus Edition of the adventure scenario The Perils of Ophelia somes with the tile masters from our Stone Bard Inn(TM) Art of Wor tiles availabe in stores.
This is a 4E city based adventure for four to six players of 4th to 8th level. There are ten plot encounters¸ eight random encounters¸ and (exclsuive to us) six role play nodes with extended conversation options from NPCs (think of them as something like cut scenes from a computer game).
Players are hired to protect one viscount and his niece from a vying viscount. The two are seeking a diary from a religious library while fighting a proxy war inside the city. The niece and nephew of the two warring factions have different plans. Will the players stay true to their contract or decide that justice calls for alternative actions? Heck¸ if they want to they can join the "bad guy" side and gain land grants.
This stands alone¸ but is the first of a trilogy that deals with the plight of the Aran'than¸ a cursed people on the brink of civil war between their two factions¸ the Gandri and the Kaz.
Great re-use value as the random encounters can be used in any city and with any plot line. The inn can become a base of operations for other stories. All encounters have multiple monster lists for 4-6 players at levels 4 through 8 allowing the DM to adjust on the fly for any player group within the given range.
