"Encounters" Series
It happens to every GM sooner or later, the players pick up on an irrelevant detail and follow it like a plot hook, or unexpectedly reveal the villain's secret identity too early, or get a hostage killed that they should have rescued; suddenly, the plot is up in the air, and even the best GM needs some breathing space to work out where to go next. So, let CORVUS LUNARIS take up the slack!
When you need something to fill in a session; add a little extra, dangerous flavour to spice up the game; or just want to relax for a while and leave the next session's preparations to someone else, look for CORVUS LUNARIS's "Encounters" series. Printer-friendly and designed to take up around 3-5 hours of gaming, with options to draw it our longer if required, these encounters are fully comprehensive, complete with tactics for combat, suggestions for inserting them into your campaign, a breakdown of the aftermath of the encounter including notes on possible plot hooks if you, as GM, want them, and a ready-to-print scale battlegrid for miniatures combat!
CL-E-000 *FREE SAMPLE*: The Priest and the Hangman

But alas, in this village, there is little comfort to be had - the Innkeeper has been murdered by a so-called friend, and the man is even now being put to death! But this is no simple matter; the locals are angered, vengeance filling their thoughts, but a travelling priest has taken it upon himself to bring justice to the matter and prevent a second death. But with resentment rapidly growing, the Hangman may be about to have his workload doubled instead...
Suitable for four characters of 3-5th level.

CL-E-002: The Bridge in the Swamp

Suitable for four characters of 11th-13th level.
