The Warehouse Row DnD 5e One-Shot Mystery Adventure (Level 3, 4 Players) (Digital Download)

Eight hundred people, eleven warehouses and one street, and if a thing is true anywhere on this road it is on the noticeboard here within the week.

Warehouse Six is losing weight overnight. Forty pounds of stored salt, then sixty, then ninety, with the locks untouched, the seals unbroken and nobody inside.

The noticeboard says the scales are wrong. Eight hundred people have read that and stopped worrying, because it is the answer that lets everybody sleep.

The scales are fine. You are going to have to prove that before anybody will let you prove anything else.

THE LONGEST ONE ON THIS ROAD - 43 pages and seven scenes, because the town has to be wrong in public before it can be right in private. Three battle maps rather than the usual two.

WHAT YOU GET - 43 pages, and nothing left for you to invent
- 7 scenes, every one written out in full: read-aloud text, what happens if they fail, what to do if they skip it
- 3 battle maps in three versions each - DM, player, and no grid. Nine images in total, 70 px per 5-foot square, aligned for Roll20 and Foundry
- 4 ready-to-play 3rd-level characters. No session zero
- 11 secrets, tables and printable handouts, plus written help for when players go sideways

THE MIDPOINT OF THE ROAD, and the one stop where every rumour on all sixty miles passes through. If you are running more than one of these, this is the one that ties them together.

PART OF THE SALT ROAD. Sixty miles, sixteen stops, each a day apart. Every one of them has noticed the same thing and not one of them has said so out loud. This adventure stands completely alone - it needs nothing from any other - but a table that plays four of them starts comparing notes without being prompted.
THE FILES - four PDFs: A4 and US Letter, each in colour and in a printer-friendly build. The printer-friendly version is the same book in pure white, nothing removed. Plus 9 map images.

Compatible with Fifth Edition. Instant digital download - nothing is posted.
