Caesar Minimus
 |
This adventure is created for three different difficulty levels¸ so it can be played with various levels ranging from party of 3rd level characters all the way to the party of 7th level characters.
There has been an old crime and adventurers are needed to investigate it. A witness will be located close to Womford where a problem rises. The one¸ an elder tiefling woman¸ who would know of the people involved with the old crime has been kidnapped. Characters need to find the missing witness.
In a cover image you can see Caesar Minimus¸ hobgoblin captain who fled its tribe after an unsuccessful coup. Now it commands a small group of hobgoblins¸ goblins and some other monsters and drives forward to create a new name for itself and its group. In its doings it has joined a plot to capture an insignificant person¸ tiefling woman¸ who turns out to be more significant than you would know from the first sight.
There are also devils involved and soon a party of adventurers is closing on Bembole where Caesar Minimus keeps its fort.
8 to 12 hours to play estimate is very rough. The adventure includes Womford Southern village area where adventurers will mainly involve social interaction. A wilderness trip to the Bembole is quite short but contain probably some combat. When they reach Bembole they might try to kill every monster¸ but that might be hard. It is wiser to investigate land around Bembole Castle. If they parley with right guys they will meet creatures that will help to deal with hobgoblins. Caesar Minimus is one who they probably need to kill. There is also a mysterious vault that might go unspotted unless players are clever. There is extra treasure for those smart enough to uncover the secret of Bembole's Unicorn Vault.
This adventure ties very thin to the Storm King's Thunder campaign setting. It works as a side adventure.
