Mini-Dungeon 83: Beware Gentlemen Bearing Gifts (5e)
A 5th Edition Mini-Dungeon adventure for 3-4 Characters Levels 15-17 Y ou can acquire anything in the world's great cities if you spend enough time and money. This may involve dealing with shady types¸ but at other times¸ the sale is entirely above board. "Four Gentlemen for Gifts" is such a place: a legal store selling costly but exemplary items that include a "preferential purchaser's card." For generations¸ four "men" from one merchant family have run it¸ overseeing all transactions. The storefront's 20-foot-wide double door is flanked by 35-foot-long walls that display tempting programmed illusions of various high-powered magic items that appeal to every sense. If ever seen in its entirety¸ the store's shape broadly matches the owners¸ who are glabrezus. The catch? Every item the "gentlemen" sell contains a drop of blood from each of them¸ which do not show up in any way short of a wish spell. Once uses an item¸ they gain the following ideal: "Brutality: all problems can be solved with violence." At first¸ this ideal may manifest simply as acting a little more selfishly¸ but the journey to the Abyss has begun. The "gentlemen" have supplied countless souls to their prince this way. Mini-Dungeons are short¸ setting-agnostic adventures for 5th Edition which can be easily inserted anywhere in your campaign.
