Lair of the Tarka
 |
When skies are black and pale winds moan... And old men grip their gnarled thrones... And children shiver 'round the hearth at home... it stalks the woods... alone. A monster- neither beast nor man- seeks the foolish and lost within its domain. Legends speak of a time when it served as a guardian spirit¸ but those days have passed. Now it serves a different purpose: as the story to keep children good... the boogey-man of the woods. Lair of the Tarka is designed as a challenging adventure for low and mid-level players. The optimal strategy is to avoid the titular beast and collect the riches inside. If players are not prepared¸ they may meet their end on the claws of the beast or other creatures inside¸ so consider this fact carefully when adding it to your game. Explore a short dungeon filled with challenges¸ lore¸ and valuable loot! Encounter a monster inspired by legendary beasts like Bigfoot¸ and the Wendigo. Rollable table for random encounters featuring six monsters including two custom-designed creatures! Helpful tips on how to run random encounters included!
