Looking for a nice little side quest between Magnimar and Korvosa...


Shattered Star


My group is travelling overland from the Mush Fens (where the Lady's Light) was set towards Korvosa. There is a degree of urgency to their travel, but I'd like to make the trip more interesting... I'm looking for some set pieces or scenarios that could easily be converted to that end - any suggestions?

(P.S. the group has played through Feast of Ravenmoor in the past)


A couple possibilities that I plan to use for my game are from the PFS scenarios:

1) Echoes of the Everwar, Part III: Terror at Whistledown (either season 1 or 2); it's honestly not the greatest written scenario, but it gives you some decent detail on Whistledown and a vampiric problem happening there that you can easily manipulate into something more interesting. The mystery is easy to hook players passing through into without any Society stuff necessary.

2) The Night March of Kalkamedes (Season 4 I believe); this one is designed for lower level play, but can be easily adjusted. I think the story to this one is stronger than Terror at Whistledown, and it takes place in the region just east of the Fens, within the Fenwall Mountains. Again, it would be simply to adjust this adventure to PCs just passing through (such as having them come across this dude sleepwalking in the middle of the wild). Also, it might be an interesting mystery for them to solve in a quick fashion so as not to interrupt their progress toward Korvosa too much.

Not sure if these are examples of what you're looking for, but there you go!

Really appreciate the response - I had just started looking at Terror, but I didn't know much about it. I've never even heard of Night March, but I'll look into it. Thanks again!


How about the PFS scenario Cultist's Kiss? It has ties with the Runelords and is in Palin's Cove, near Korvosa.
