Greetings adventurers and Game Masters!
I am happy to announce the release of the seventh adventure in my Old School Series ¸ "INN DOLO DELICTO "! This adventure is intended for 4 to 6 stalwart mid-level adventurers of levels 5 to 7. It is written to be generic and compatible with most fantasy role-playing games (FRPG)¸ and should be playable most retroclone rulesets. This 34 page scenario takes place over three acts¸ in three different locales in the Oliva Valley : a roadside ambush¸ an inn full of enemies¸ and an ancient cave shrine where the bulk of the marauders have escape to. In order to complete their quest¸ your players will face off against various lycans (including 3 new species )¸ their orgish allies¸ a greater doppelganger (a new monster created specifically for this adventure)¸ and a host of other dangerous critters.
Synopsis: While travelling thru The Imperium's Oliva Valley¸ known far and wide for its namesake olives¸ you chose to stop for the night at a cheery looking hostelry called the Solis Inn . The innkeeper seems to hover and has been eyeing you all night. Finally the woman comes over and begs you to hear a proposition she has to offer¸ for she says she is in dire straits and needs the help of heroes such as you appear to be. from your kit and your manner.
The innkeeper¸ one Camino Fiore by name¸ ask you to investigate an attack which has taken place at her twin sister Rabbin's place¸ The Luna Inn ¸ just a few miles down the imperial road towards the fort Castella Sonos . It seems a survivor of the attack¸ a half-elven magister named Shanadoria Umari¸ turned up recently on Camino's doorstep. Shanadoria was bloody¸ beaten and spouting wild tales of ferocious¸ hairy attackers before she lost consciousness.
Camino is beside herself with dread! She promises you a sizeable sum and a valuable heirloom (her father's magical crossbow ) if you will agree to aid her! She needs you to travel to her sister's inn¸ investigate the disturbance¸ and rescue Rabbina if you can.
It's time for you to earn the moniker "hero"¸ adventurers! Are you up to the challenge?

PLUS you also get a free copy of my 2021 Starry Knight Press Catalog ¸ which has information on all of my modules and supplements¸ as well as maps of the known portions of my campaign world of Terrans ¸ and bonus content ( new monsters and magic items for OSR/5E ) from my published books!
Lastly¸ becauser a reader asked about the title¸ it is a "dad joke" Latin pun. The are Italinate and Latin terms used throughout the book are there as the adventure takes place in THE IMPERIUM ¸ a Roman-inspired nation state in my campaign world of Terrans . T he "Inn" part refers to the locales involved in the scenario; and a very loose translation of the full title phrase "in dolo delicto" would be "the offense of deceit" (e.g. shapeshifters ).
