Weltroc's Folly - Level-13 fifth-edition adventure.
When an abandoned keep on the southern shore of Haliaeetus became infested with a writhing, purple mass, everyone considered it a curiosity at most, indeed not anything that presented a danger. But this perception was shattered when Marques Weltroc, heir to the throne, went missing on one of his naval expeditions, and wreckage from his ship washed up on shore covered in the same purple mass. Now, the mass is corrupting the land, the kingdom is threatened, and the reality of the danger has struck close to the Duke’s heart. In a fury, he has called for the aid of adventurers to explore the southern ruins and bring back his son, if possible.
Horrors by the Sea - Level-14 fifth-edition adventure.
After ridding their coastline of a repulsive purple mass, the island kingdom of Haliaeetus has begun retaking their lands. But the relief is brief, as the king’s arcane advisor scries that aberrant dangers were the cause of the attack on the kingdom’s shore and are now hiding in a cliffside shrine. When the call goes forth for hardy adventurers capable of clearing the cavern and destroying the source of deviant magic plaguing the land, will any brave few answer the call?
The Flickering Keep - Level-15 fifth-edition adventure.
Despite following the royal arcanist’s instructions to the letter, the aberrant threat’s influence has yet to be completely stoppered. Now, instead of alien masses or battery crystals, the corruption lies in our heroes. A great evil has gotten its hooks in their psyches after so much time spent together, and only by bringing their fractured thoughts to life can they hope to kill this invader once and for all.
Dreams of the Dying Winds - Level-11 fifth-edition adventure.
Hidden away deep in the desert is an ancient evil. Thought to have been imprisoned forever in a state of undeath, it has begun to stir once more. Those with knowledge of this evil are watching for someone who can end it forever – though such a task is daunting indeed.
Deal with the Devil at Clearwater Manor - Level-12 fifth-edition adventure.
On the outskirts of Frostguard stands Clearwater Manor – a noble’s home in the mountains. Recently, the son of Gregor Clearwater, Dearan, has been seen sneaking around the town of Frostguard. Shortly after, Rosalind, a serving girl at a local tavern, desperately seeks to hire adventurers and assassins to help Dearan with a hostage situation at his family’s manor on the outskirts of town. Who has taken Dearan’s family hostage and why?

Hellions Below - Level-5 fifth-edition adventure.
After waves of ruthless attacks have swept across the area, one man has tracked its path, and his city is next in line. Terror fills everyone as the attackers seemingly appear out of thin air, destroy everything, and leave without a trace as quickly as they come. Only this time, something curious was left behind: a single crystal necklace. Could this be the key to stopping the horrific slaughters?
Proof of Poison - Level-6 fifth-edition adventure.
The peace of any land is such a fragile thing. Natural disasters, invasions from outsiders, and the will of fiends, fey, and the divine shape the land and test its inhabitants. However, the biggest threat to ordinary people often comes from within. Prompted by a heavenly vision, the party will need to investigate a prominent noble for proof of misdeeds because the peace of the Harrowed Land can be disturbed with a single vial of potent poison.
The Hunt for the Ring of Secrecy - Level-7 fifth-edition adventure.
When a ring is sold nobody thinks much of it. Particularly when the ring is sold by a shop specializing in the magical to someone who is well known to be a mage. Such is a common enough occurrence. Of course, when that ring has a story all its own, the transaction is never as simple as it seems.
