Exquisitely Evil Eberron Escapades

It’s 1007yk and the fallout from the Last War has settled, though tensions linger. Life goes on, and that includes our heroes adventurers cast. They are individually approached by a mysterious entity with an enticing proposition and a plan to “bring Eberron to her truest potential.” 

The entity, affectionately called the “Patron”, assigns often vague tasks to the group with an enigmatic greater goal. Will the selfish intentions of the individuals get in the way of progress, or will they come together for success?

Will it be worth it?

Dagger Loppen

“We are not the good guys. Remember that I am always three steps ahead. You fuck us over again and I will not hesitate to end you.” 

Stats: elf soulknife rogue lvl 8  AC: 15, HP: 48, Init: +3 Str: 12 (+1), Dex: 17 (+3), Con: 14 (+2), Int: 12 (+1), Wis: 12 (+1), Cha: 16 (+3)

Story:  Not much is known about Dagger’s past or personal life, and asking him would land you a tongue lashing and a knife to the throat if you caught him on a bad day. He is a lover and a fighter. He frequents the brothels, is a notorious flirt, and a just about everyone who meets him is infatuated or irritated (sometimes both). Dagger is a skilled performer and assassin. His disguises are unparalleled, to a near suspicious degree. He uses an alias, but he has a working Mark of Shadows, though it is unknown if he is from House Phiarlan or Thuranni. Many of the things Dagger does incites trouble, and his arrogance knows no bounds. With the way his schemes end, it is often difficult for the party to tell if it is the work of incompetence or brilliance. 

Dagger takes time to visit a House Sivis hub to make private calls, and meets with mysterious strangers without the attendance of the party. Dagger’s motives seem to be the most ulterior of anyone in the party. His vagueness and cavalier attitude breed distrust, despite knowing he needs the party to succeed. 

When the Patron approaches Dagger, he is in the middle of a mission to recover information. As the Patron lists possible gifts should Dagger sign on to their little deal, none piques his interest quite like the promise of knowledge...of information. Joining the Patron could open a world secrets to Dagger, but perhaps some things are better left in the shadows. 

“I know you have such a hard time following orders. But, if you can manage to act on my whims --instead of just your own-- I’ll give you everything you could want and more.” -The Patron

Fey Tavern

Tucked away in a wild forest is this enchanting tavern, a place where the senses are energized and the body is nourished.

This tavern is ran exclusively by Fey creatures, who delight in meeting new guests and treating them with delicious food, hot steamy baths, and warm beds, all free of charge.

However, there is a catch. Once someone enters this tavern…they don’t feel like leaving.

This map is part of my Dwarven, Elven, & Orc taverns pack. You can download the first three maps for free here.

Rise of the Undead - graves are torn open as the walking dead flood the earth…

The rumored night has come. According to the legend, the dead will begin to rise on the full moon. Graves will be torn open by emaciated fingers, tombs will be shattered by maleficent forces, and the land will be flooded with undead. That is, unless our heroes manage to stop it...

This map depicts graves being torn open as undead rise and flood the graveyard. This could serve as a "last stand" for the players, or even a survival encounter if the undead become too numerous.

You can download all 8 phases for free here.

Prison

The slammer. The clink. The big house. Few societies have found ways to avoid imprisoning those who transgress their laws, no matter their reasons or the inequity of those very laws. For the people who end up incarcerated, the best they can hope for is humane treatment and rehabilitation. At the other end of the spectrum is cruelty, torture, and execution. So the question is, what did you players do to end up here, or what manner of prisoner are they breaking out? Available in three levels of security, throw your PCs deep into the prison-industrial complex with these maps!

Gossip Column

Scratch, a lawyer and private council to the Baroness of Phiarlan House is in a tavern late one night. A rough night. He just came down from his room after a heated proposal gone wrong. A reporter from the Sharn Inquisitive (and Scratch's occasional hookup) is there.

Scratch: "Eliza, aren't you a sight?"

Eliza: "Well, if it isn't the oh-so-private devil man."

Scratch: "Come on. Enough of that. Let's get out of here. I need to blow off some steam."

Eliza: "First, I have some questions. ON the record."

Scratch, rolling their eyes: "Eliza..."

Eliza: "What do you say to eye-witness accounts of you taking the Phiarlan baroness's daughter up to you room at this Inn?"

Scratch: "Who is the witness?"

Eliza: "I am."

Scratch: "unreliable source."

Eliza: "-and with a handsome young elf."

Scratch: "It was just business."

Eliza: "Our sort of business?"

Scratch: "My business with any client is confidential." With a smirk, "Especially ours."

Eliza: "So you decline to answer?"

Scratch: "As always, miss Witherbee."

Scratch takes a step toward her, and she holds up her notepad between them.

Eliza: "Hm... 'Devil Lawyer of Sharn seen with Eylise Phiarlan and hot mystery man going up to room to conduct Private Business'. That has a fun hook."

Scratch: "You're a reporter of integrity. Don't stoop to petty gossip."

Eliza: "Why Eylise? Is it because she looks so much like the Baroness?"

Scratch, who had been playing coy, grew very serious with a bit of bite in his voice.

Scratch: "Miss Witherbee. I have been quite clear. I hope to never see my name, or my business, in one of your articles without my expressed permission. It would be a shame if your paper were sued for libel, that it would be more profitable for them to drop you as a reporter than to fight the charges in court."
