Dragon Heist: The Haunting at Trollskull Manor
We're all privy to the dark secret of Trollskull Manor-and soon your adventurers will be too. Alas¸ Waterdeep: Dragon Heist comes up short on providing an adequate haunting-it merely informs you of the presence of the poltergeist¸ and provides two brief descriptions of what can be done with him. That's it. No antics provided¸ no scenes. The Haunting at Trollskull Manor is a short adventure balanced for four 2nd-3rd level characters for chapter 2 of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist ¸ and is designed to be completed in two sessions as the adventurers confront the ambulant spirit(s) that haunt the manor. It expands upon the grisly history of Trollskull¸ particularly the dark chapter it spent as an orphanage headed by a cannibalistic hag. Spanning three acts¸ the first involves Lif the poltergeist's violent antics¸ leading to his eventual confrontation. Act II begins days or weeks later-just long enough for the adventurers to feel safe in their new home-when the ambulant dead return¸ heralded by several paranormal occurrences. The final act involves the return of the Hag-Shadow-a sliver of the hag's evil-as it seeks out to devour the last three ghostly survivors of her murderous past. This adventure can be replicated in any campaign¸ for it bears few spoilers to Dragon Heist. Use it whenever you need a tavern or manor with a darkened past and tear away your players' safety blanket!
