Seasons of the Runewild: Bonedigger
Fifty years ago¸ a hag named Speckled Hester was burned at the stake near the town of Ill Hollow. As the flames consumed her¸ Hester vowed to share her greatest secret with whoever first contacted her spirit. Not a word has been heard from Hester since¸ but the ghost of her most faithful servant¸ a hound named Bonedigger¸ haunts Ill Hollow to this day. The townsfolk believe Bonedigger seeks to lead others to Hester's grave. To keep Hester in the ground where she belongs¸ the people of Ill Hollow began a strange tradition. On the first night of Harvestide¸ they bury the bones of a horse or pig in a grave marked with Hester's name. Rather than finding Hester's bones¸ each year Bonedigger digs up the contents of the false grave instead. The ruse has fooled Bonedigger¸ until now. Bonedigger is an adventure for three to five 1st level characters. It is designed to be played over the course of a single session. The adventure takes place near an enchanted forest known as the Runewild and can serve as an introduction to the Runewild Campaign Setting (coming spring 2019). You can also drop the adventure into an existing campaign without much trouble.
