Adaptable Encounters Dwarven Holds (for Shadowdark)

Description

Adaptable Encounters: Dwarven Holds is a collection of ready-to-play encounters for adventures in dwarven strongholds carved into living stone.

Encounters in this issue:

• Anvil Duel
• Debt of Honor
• Demon Gold
• Dispute Over the Plans
• The King's New Beard
• The Prisoner in a Hurry
• The Tunnel Collapse

Adaptable Encounters is a tool designed to help Dungeon Masters quickly flesh out specific scenes and encounters for their campaigns. Each encounter requires little to no preparation, providing everything you need to run it straight from the page.

In this volume, Dwarven Holds, every encounter now includes more guidance to make them even easier to use. Each encounter provides:

• A suggested number and level range of player characters
• The type of encounter (exploration, social, combat, etc.)
• Any special requirements or recommendations to run it effectively
• Each encounter presents a dynamic situation that actively involves the player characters, suggests possible outcomes, and describes the setting where the story takes place.
