The Opening

“The mayor stands at the city gate, his face a mask of grief as he points toward the fog-choked hills. Your fiancée, Elena, was dragged into the ruins of Malinov Mansion by something that did not leave footprints. 'Bring her back,' he whispers, 'and the dowry is yours; fail, and her soul will never rest.'”

— Hook · rescue

Set the Scene

The party stands at the edge of the Whispering Woods, where the air smells of ozone and rotting pine. Mayor Varkas clutches a locket, his hands trembling as he points to the jagged silhouette of the mansion atop the hill.

Rumours

d4 · table
  1. 01
    The Malinov family did not die of plague; they were harvested by a spirit from the old country.
  2. 02
    Elena Varkas was seen walking toward the mansion of her own volition, her eyes like black glass.
  3. 03
    The mansion appears larger on the inside because it feeds on the space between nightmares.
  4. 04
    Only iron forged in cold water can pierce the hide of the beast that lives there.
Stakes

If Elena is not rescued, she will be transformed into a monstrous entity, and the mansion's curse will expand to consume the entire town of Oakhaven.

Ticking Clock·The ritual of 'The Crimson Veiling' completes on the third midnight. Every long rest taken by the party accelerates the transformation process.

Background Lore

The Malinovs were the original founders of the settlement, known for their strange Slavic traditions. Decades ago, they vanished. The mansion is now the lair of a Nocnitsa, a Slavic nightmare hag that feeds on the grief of lineage.

What the World Knows

Elena was kidnapped by a forest monster that has taken residence in the abandoned Malinov Mansion to hold her for ransom or ritual.
