THE OGRE MAGE INN - 2 of 20
The SECOND 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.
THE OGRE MAGE INN has the PCs discovering a morbid menu claiming to serve human (and demi-human) body parts as delicacies. The PCs are tasked to investigate this eatery only to discover that it is indeed run by Oni with a taste for humanoid flesh. The players chase a female matron through this huge inn and pass through a series of rooms filled with a wide variety of evil ones including a very angry chef¸ a pack of hungry hounds¸ a witch¸ and many other dark delicacies.
This short adventure is laced with moments of black humor but is still recommended for a more adult-oriented audience¸ and this is not for very young children or those with extraordinarily brittle constitutions.

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.
PC Levels 1-5
PC Levels 6-10
PC Levels 11-15
PC Levels 16-20
