The Budding Snowdrop
As soon as you arrive at the northern town¸ you find it attacked by monsters. As you rush forward to its defense¸ you wonder¸ "What secret does this well-defended town hold¸ that the monsters are willing to attack it¸ despite being outnumbered?" ***** Thanks to all who have downloaded the 1st adventure ( The Withered Rose ) and the 2nd adventure ( The Parched Moss ) that I wrote. This is the 3rd adventure of the Lost Love saga. I intend to write a series of related adventures for 3-5 PC adventurers¸ each time introducing different game mechanics¸ so that they will become familiar with Dungeons & Dragons. I hope that you will enjoy having this adventure as much as I have enjoyed writing it. I have made this item Pay What You Want ¸ in the hope that it better meets your needs. In return¸ I would like to ask that you leave your review¸ so that I can improve my future attempts¸ based on your feedback. Thanks in advance. Special thanks to Mr Jackson Persyn for his comment. I have included aspects of all the previous adventures into the 4th adventure. How the adventurers complete the previous adventures matters for the 4th adventure. I don't want to include any spoilers here¸ but what happens to Costin matters too! The adventures of the Lost Love saga include: The Withered Rose (Best Seller: Copper) The Parched Moss The Budding Snowdrop The Blooming Thyme The adventures of the Lost Innocence saga include: The Flickering Spark ***** 2017-04-10: Version 1 released. A party of 3 PC (and 1 NPC) adventurers will get 12¸198-12¸970 XP¸ 4 PC (and 1 NPC) adventurers will get 12¸618-13¸329 XP¸ and 5 PC (and 1 NPC) adventurers will get 12¸999-13¸527 XP. This is based on the assumption that the Dungeon Master only gives the adventurers 2 random encounters in Part 2. If gold does not award XP in your campaign¸ they will then get 10¸161-10¸546 XP¸ 10¸556-10¸881 XP and 10¸891-11¸036 XP respectively. This is sufficient to get them to 4th level¸ without bringing them to 5th level¸ unless they have had a previous adventure elsewhere. 2017-04-11: Version 2 released. I updated the back cover of the item. 2017-04-11: Version 3 released. Minor errors corrected. The biggest change is in the NPC adventurer profile. 2017-04-14: Version 4 released. I have decided to state the starting hit points for some monsters¸ instead of using the phrase "full starting hit points" or "injured". Hopefully¸ this is clearer for you. 2017-04-28: Version 5 released. Minor errors corrected. The biggest changes are in the Appendix. 2017-08-13: Version 6 released. Minor errors corrected in the Appendix¸ according to the Monster Manual errata.
