Adaptable Encounters The Undercity (for Shadowdark)

Description

Adaptable Encounters: The Undercity is a collection of ready-to-play encounters for campaigns that venture beneath the streets into a city that should not exist. Drop a single scene into any adventure when you want the world to feel darker and more complicated. A crooked auction, a guide who sells you out, a meeting in a soundless alley, a chase over black water, and the constant pressure of factions that know the tunnels better than you ever will.

Encounters in this issue:

• Contraband Bazaar
• Corpse Dealer
• Curse eater
• Missing messenger
• Mob Boss
• Murder Dagger
• Secret Entrances
• Sleeping with the fishes
• The Insult Duel
• The Rope Lift Ambush

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, The Undercity, 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.
