The Story
A horrible plague has recently shattered the area¸ turning its victims into blighted¸ undead-like creatures¸ and creating dreadful conditions that cry out for a cure. Fleeing refugees overrun the camps that struggle to care for them¸ while bandits and wild tribes prey upon the weak. Behind it all lies a mystery: where did this Plague come from and why has no one been able to cure it?
The Aftermath adventure module is perfect for priests¸ clerics¸ and paladins¸ as well as players who enjoy exploration and investigation. Can the heroes solve the mystery of the Plague before being overrun?
The Structure
Written by New York Times best-selling author Philip Athans¸ this adventure module is system-agnostic. You can use it with your game system of choice. You will need to create stats for the characters and monsters at an appropriate level for your players.
There is a linear central plot line¸ experienced by visiting a variety of unique locations and running specific adventures. The remaining points of interest and adventures can show up anywhere in your world you wish¸ and add to the narrative flavor and depth of this module. Also included are a list of rumors - some true¸ some not so true - that your NPCs can relate to the players. Also included is a short story to help set the tone.
The 57 page PDF contains 8 high quality adventure maps and includes portraits of 21 important NPCs.
All maps¸ portraits¸ and major images are also available as separate files for use in a Virtual Tabletop (VTT)¸ or to otherwise share with your players.
