The tradition of storm-peace ensures that all grudges are suspended for the duration of the storm. But some shelters are safer than others, and not all beings honor the storm-peace. Can the PCs solve the mystery ofthe tor in which they have taken shelter before the storm ends?  \nA Dark and Stormy Knight is a short adventure for four 1st-level characters. The scenario is set in a barren wilderness area that features one or more tors, or freestanding hills. The action takes place inside one of these tors that has been hollowed out and used as atomb in the past. As always, feel free to adapt the material presented here as you see fit to make it work with your campaign.  \nPREPARATION  \nYou (the DM) need the D&D core rulebooks—the Player’s Handbook, the Dungeon Master’s Guide, and the Monster Manual—to run this adventure. The scenario utilizes the D&D v.3.5 rules.  \nTo get started, print out the adventure, including the map. Read through the scenario at least once to familiarize yourself with the situation, threats, and major NPCs in the tower (particularly their motivations).  \nText that appears in shaded boxes is player information that you can read aloud or paraphrase for the players at the proper times.  \nADVENTURE BACKGROUND  \nLong ago, a small but mighty humanoid kingdom existed in what is now the local wilderness. Bugbear and ogre warriors fought brutal wars of expansion, earning great fame and amassing considerable fortunes from their predations. Those who died in battle were buried in large tomb complexes dug into hillsides and honored as patrons ofthe living. Among these tombs was the large tor known as Hightower. Though it was neither the largest nor the most famous of the kingdom’s tombs, Hightower did represent a typical example of this kind of structure.  \nAs happens to all such nations, the cruel humanoid kingdom eventually fell to a more powerful foe that razed all its cities and outlying fortifications. Of the tombs, only Hightower escaped destruction—largely because it was an unimportant mo","cbCaipaOT4y9nTii","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipaOT4y9nTii","pdf",392036,"English","# Preparation\n## Adventure Background\n## Adventure Synopsis\n## Adventure Hooks","[{\"question\":\"What is the main goal of the player characters in this adventure?\",\"answer\":\"Find out what is happening inside Hightower before the storm ends, by exploring the tor’s chambers, defeating threats within, and confronting the Dark Knight in its deepest crypt.\"},{\"question\":\"What triggers the action inside the tor?\",\"answer\":\"A severe storm drives everyone to seek shelter, and a lightning strike that recently broke the stone seal allows humanoids to enter; later, the storm breaks open inner doors to access the tombs.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the scenario set up for players of level 1?\",\"answer\":\"It is built for four 1st-level characters and uses the D\\u0026D v.3.5 rules, with guidance on preparation and using shaded-box text as player-facing read-aloud or paraphrased information.\"}]","A Dark and Stormy Knight - A Short Adventure for Four 1st-Level Player Characters | PDF",1791234351,12]
