THE MADMAN'S CLOCK TOWER - 17 of 20
A lawful wizard has been commissioned by the army to create clockwork warriors instead of having humans and demi-humans fighting and dying needlessly. This brilliant mage's mind snaps inexplicably and his tower has started to crumble without explanation. A small squad of 12 men are sent to gain entry to his tower and confront the source of this odd occurence. Only one of the 12 soldiers survives¸ and he recounts a tale of true horror and the adventurers have been called in to help. The Mad Mage and his clockwork minions fight back ferociously¸ and to the death.
The SEVENTEENTH of 20 short adventures for 5e and/or Pathfinder-compatible game systems for THE BOOK OF DARK SECRETS.
You may play these adventures in any order you choose¸ but it is important to first familiarize yourself with the 8-part stat blocks and the dynamic between the PCs and the mysterious mission procurer known as Matigan Brennan. Therefore¸ you really should download this adventure below first - FOR FREE (PWYW)
This first short adventure will give you a much better idea of how these adventures will be procured for the players.
Most of THE BOOK OF DARK SECRETS short adventures have a darker than the norm undertone to them¸ hence the series title name. This one is one of the darker of the 20 short adventures¸ so once again¸ this is NOT for children or those that are faint of heart. It is a dark fantasy meets slasher in a fantasy RPG setting. Adult and mature audiences¸ please.

All of THE BOOK OF DARK SECRETS short adventures are designed to take place in one location and to take up an entire evening's gaming session. These short adventures are dual-statted for 5e and Pathfinder-compatible campaigns for PCs between levels 1-20. DMs and GMs are required to be flexible with the creatures and stats suggested in these works¸ and to utilize their own creativity and resourcefulness to create fun and memorable adventures for their players and themselves. These are great as a change of pace adventures as needed.
If you are dead set and ultra-gung-ho about seeing stats in ONE established way ONLY¸ then this is not for you¸ and you shouldn't even download any free versions for obvious reasons. Remember¸ these need to fit into a very small space¸ and these stats are further broken into 4 challenge categories x2.
