I know SotDL is a lot of theater of the mind, but is there any way you can upload a version of the maps without all of the bubbles in it I want to put the players on the map with virtual tokens.

Words: 4, Pages: 8. When vicious bandits waylay a caravan bound for an outpost on the edge of civilization, the player characters are the only survivors, trapped and lost in a hostile wilderness.

If they would live to see another day, they must learn to work together and discover the people they might one day become. This adventure is designed for a group of starting characters and is especially suited to new players. In addition to pledging funds, backers could also complete achievements: weird, fun things that kept people talking about and engaged in the campaign. Achievements included getting a shout out from a black metal band, making videos, liking and following Schwalb Entertainment on various social media sites, and more. It was a great experiment and made the campaign a lot more fun. This adventure is my thanks to everyone who pitched in and made the campaign a great success. All rights reserved.

Schwalb Entertainment, LLC PO Box Murfreesboro, TN [email protected] www. The forest has a dark reputation because of an ancient protector who slew many of the woodcutters working here long ago. The Situation: The characters were traveling with the caravan and escaped by fleeing into the forest. Characters who survive to the end might form a group and, if so, advance to level 1. See chapter 1 in the Shadow of the Demon Lord rulebook for rules about group advancement. GETTING STARTED Once you set up the situation, have the players introduce their characters and their reasons for being part of the caravan. Character professions and background elements are good sources of inspiration. THE OLD WOOD The Old Wood is a dense tangle of oaks, maples, and elms that covers a considerable area west of the Black Hills, a rolling landscape from which miners extract coal. Once the wood was a prime timber resource, but the 2 shadow of the demon lord woodcutters ceased their operations after being driven out by its enraged guardian, a mythical being known as a leshy.

Since then, the wood has reclaimed much of its lost territory, swallowing up several tiny villages and the roads connecting them. The hexagonal grid map shows the area where the adventure takes place. Each hex is 1 mile across. EXPLORING THE WOOD The density of the wood, combined with uneven terrain, makes travel slow. It takes 1 hour to cross from one side of a hex to the other. When the adventure begins, the characters have become lost in their flight from the ambush. Have the players choose one member of the group to take point. At the end of each hour the group travels in a particular direction, have that character make an Intellect challenge roll with 2 banes, reducing the number of banes by 1 for each wilderness profession he or she has.

On a success, the group exits the hex in the intended direction. On a failure, the group exits the hex one step to the left or right; for example, a group that was traveling north would exit to the northeast or northwest. Should they run out of food, they can forage by spending 1 hour searching their hex. Each foraging character must make a Perception challenge roll. On a success, the character finds enough food to sustain himself or herself for the rest of the day. If the total of the roll is 20 or higher, the character finds food for up to 1d3 other characters. PERILS The Old Wood is as dangerous as its reputation suggests. Some hexes contain keyed locations labeled with numbers, which are described in the following section. The group must stop when it enters a labeled hex that has not been cleared and encounters the challenge there.

For each hour the group spends in an unlabeled hex, roll a d6. On a roll of 2 or higher, the hex is empty and remains so until after the group completes a rest. On a 1, something significant happens. Creatures encountered in the hex remain until slain or driven off, or until after the group completes a rest, at which point the hex becomes empty once more. Traveling the Forest Path: If the characters manage to find the road again, they can move along it at about 3 miles 3 hexes per hour. The bandits are watching, however.

Each time the group enters a hex using the road, it triggers a peril on a roll of 4 or lower on the d6 instead of on a 1. Once it has been defeated, replace this result with 1 ghoul. The center of the rain moves 1 hex to the west each hour until it stops. If that number drops to zero, the group encounters no more bandits. FOREST COMBAT The Old Wood can be of great aid to the characters or a complication that must be overcome in a fight. The forest canopy blocks out the sky, though during the day enough light passes through the leaves and branches for characters to see normally. At night, the wood is dark. The trees are fairly dense. Such cover counts as being from an object for the purpose of attempting to hide.

Hostile creatures typically start combat 2d6 yards away from the group. You decide whether or not they attempt to sneak up and surprise the characters. Keyed Locations The following hexes are labeled with numbers, indicating that they have interesting features or dangerous creatures, or otherwise challenge the group. Defeating hostile creatures in the hex changes its status to unlabeled for the purpose of exploration if the characters come back later. Start: The adventure begins here, in the middle of the forest, about 2 hours after the attack on the caravan.

Until the characters complete a rest, this hex is considered safe. Afterward it becomes potentially dangerous, like all other unlabeled hexes. Ambush Site: This is where the bandits attacked the caravan with which the characters were traveling. Two of the wagons caught fire and continue to burn for 1d3 hours after the adventure begins. During this time, any character who gets above the canopy can see the smoke. The attackers left a few dead horses and guards along the road where they fell, and 4 bandits still watch over the site. They remain until after the characters complete a rest, then abandon the site and return to their camp see area 8.

ghastly appearance until after he or she completes a rest. The apparitions linger in the area until just before sunrise. Characters searching the site find one crossbow, a case with twenty bolts, two swords, seven days of travel rations, and a healing potion. If the group is small, you can have the characters find an injured caravan guard with 5 damage who joins the group. Use the patroller statistics for the guard, adding whatever interesting details you choose. Misty Clearing: The trees give way to a small clearing where nothing grows, the bare dirt strewn with small rocks. Curls of yellow mist rise from the ground and dissipate to fill the air with a curious metallic odor.

When a living, breathing creature moves into the clearing, it must succeed on a Strength challenge roll or become diseased. On a success, the creature becomes immune to the toxic mist until after it completes a rest. Fungus Patch: The air in this section of forest is redolent with rot. The source of the stench is the decaying corpse of an ogre, dead three days and bloated with foul gas. Growing in the meat are 2 fungal mites: mobile, dimly sentient fungi that feed on rotting flesh. They look like mushrooms with red caps, about 1½ feet tall. Should a living creature come within short range of the corpse, the mites pull free and lurch toward the intruder to attack. The ogre is nice and ripe. If it takes any damage, the pent-up gases cause the corpse to explode, throwing blood, gore, and bits of bone from a point in its space in all directions out to short range.

Each creature in the area must get a success on an Agility challenge roll or take 1d3 damage; any that take damage must then get a success on a Will challenge roll made with 1 boon or gain 1 Insanity. Characters searching the area around the ogre discover a large burlap bag that holds a wheel of cheese, half a decomposed sheep, 4 ss, 27 cp, and a sword. Haunted Ruins: The ruins of an ancient tower rise from the center of this hex, reaching a dozen yards or so high. The top fell years ago, scattering rubble over the ground to the north and east of the tower. All four can be found with enough successes. These apparitions ignore the group and are immune to all attacks and effects.

On a success, that character is unaffected by their 4 shadow of the demon lord A creature diseased by the mist must make a Strength challenge roll whenever it completes a rest. On a failure, the creature takes a cumulative —1 penalty to Health, which lasts until the creature is no longer diseased.

After three successes, it removes the diseased affliction. Psychotic Woodcutter: One of the more dangerous denizens of the woods is a cursed woodcutter a skinchanger. By night, he transforms into a bizarre possum-human hybrid that attacks anything it encounters, tearing its victims apart with sharp teeth. The woodcutter has lived alone so long that he no longer knows how to speak. Should the characters befriend him while in his human form, he urges them through pantomime to flee from his presence when it draws close to dark. Lonely Cottage: A humble cottage stands in a small clearing.

If the creature has no special attacks, this entry is absent. The world has black power, clockwork and steam technologies, but with a dark bleak world. A creature might be known by other names in different areas or by other cultures. Twenty sided and six sided, used for d20, d6 or d3 rolls. August 27,
