The Hanged Man
 |
A long journey under an azure sky filling with brackish¸ boiling clouds ends at a large oak tree. Here¸ from a muscled branch¸ a man hangs limply by a thick rope strangled around his neck. Beyond¸ a dim¸ rising¸ yellow moon silhouette's a village. Snaking¸ ashy tendrils of smoke coil above rooftops¸ lights glitter in windows while a miasmal fog creeps down upon the village from freshly churned fields. Then¸ as sudden as lightening¸ a fife and fiddle begin a joyous tune. This stops as abruptly as it started. All that now can be heard is a rope straining and groaning with the weight of the hanged man. A bizarre and humorous adventure where absolution is as important as keeping one's head. This adventure is designed for 4-6 high-level characters.
