DUNGEON DELVES SIDE QUEST modules are short adventures that can be played in a single night, either as a standalone quest or part of a larger campaign arc.
Death stalks under cover of night! In Gravoa, someone or something is murdering the town’s elders with ruthless efficiency. These phantom slayers have done their sinister work and then vanished into the night. Surely, evil sorcery must be at work! Some townsfolk suggest that a black magician, bent on vengeance, is responsible for these wicked deeds. Can your party of adventurers uncover the mysterious killer and save the town’s leaders from impending doom?
DDSQ3 Night of the Demon-Dolls is a DUNGEON DELVE SIDE QUEST module for characters levels 2 to 4. In this adventure, the player characters must investigate a string of murders in the town of Gravoa. A trail of clues soon leads them to an abandoned countryside villa, where the sinister mastermind lurks with his foul minions. Within its crumbling halls, the adventurers will face horrors both living and unliving, twisted by black sorcery. Success demands keen investigation, resourceful play, and the courage to stand against a foe who commands the powers of darkness.
