Fanged Fables: The Abbey
 |
Introduction 'The Abbey' is a quick-adventure for a party of four 11thth level characters. Very little adaptation should be necessary to use in any campaign setting.
Adventure Background Old country roads can lead strange places. Weary from travel¸ a group of adventurers come to a strange large and seemingly abandoned abbey deep in the forest. In the twilight hours the old ruined buildings¸ crumbling and well overgrown foundations hide a still inhabited and sizable building. A flash of lightning signals a coming thunderstorm. Upon knocking the party is met with the face of a young and pale holy woman in the vestments of a nun of some type.
The nun explains that the abbey is a holy sanctuary¸ and that generally only those who dedicate their lives to their faith are allowed entry. She seems hesitant¸ but if the party makes any request for shelter out of the approaching thunderstorm she requests a moment¸ and returns shortly later allowing the party entry. Inside of the abbey it is dark¸ as the building has few windows. By the light of a candelabra she leads the party into the abbey. She tells the party that they are preparing for a special ritual tonight in the chapel¸ and for them not to wander out of their room until morning. When asked¸ she simply states that this ritual is a private one and interruptions can't be allowed. She bids them goodnight¸ allows them two to a dorm room¸ and locks the door behind her as she leaves.
