Desperate Measures

You and your companions were hired by a Brother Milen and Sister Egwena to escort their small group of families (mainly farmers and skilled artisans) into the borderlands to the village of Wood Bourn, a settlement on the grassy plain between the Mudwaters and the Sentinel Wood.

Upon arrival at Wood Bourn you notice that the village sign is rotten, the buildings are in a state of disrepair and there is nobody around to greet you.  Brother Milen is visibly startled by this turn of events and wanders about calling out but nobody answers.  Sister Egwena takes a more pragmatic view getting the families to unpack what they need to stay the night and telling them that you can all decide what to do in the morning.  She turns to you and asks for your help to get everybody settled.  Looking around at the group of scared and uncertain faces you know that you cannot leave immediately especially considering that something doesn’t feel quite right about this place.       

Desperate Measures is a scenario for Schwalb Entertainment’s Shadow of the Weird Wizard.  Unsafe are these lands, monsters roam the countryside, cruel faeries haunt the shadows, undead drag themselves free from their tombs, and ancient evils stir once more. If the displaced people would rebuild their lives, they need heroes to protect them.  Might you be those heroes?  

Please be advised that this game will deal with adult themes (for example but not limited to violence, death, gore).  You will have a choice of pre-generated characters to play.  You do not need to have any experience of playing Shadow of the Weird Wizard before joining this one shot.  Shadow of the Weird Wizard is a D20 based system.
