D&D: Bride of the Fog
At the end of the world sits a village cloaked in fog. Every year the fog grows, threatening to swallow up towns and cities in its path. And then there is the matter of a peculiar legend, of a maiden sacrificed every solstice, to a great spirit beyond the trees. Do you have the wits to uncover the truth behind this encroaching threat? A 4 hour adventure for characters level 5-10. Pre-generated characters will be available for those who do not bring their own.
