Companionable Darkness (5E) PDF

Archchancellor Gwydion Ambrosius has sent for you, personally. He asks you to accompany a senior reader of the University of Scarthey on a journey through dangerous lands. Gwydion fears for the old wizard, whose frayed mind has suffered through the study of dark arts. Can you protect the wizard, your companions, and the wagon train you’re traveling with, or will darkness consume you all?

Companionable Darkness is a solo adventure for a 1st—3rd level cleric or paladin, compatible with the fifth edition rules of the world’s oldest roleplaying game. This is our largest adventure yet, clocking in at 64 entries (including the intro and conclusion) over 45 pages, with new player options for the barbarian and bard classes. A successful run should take you around half an hour, if you don’t fall foul of the traps and monsters that lie in wait. The More Adventure section allows you to extend the game far beyond that, as you work to protect the caravan you’re traveling with from the many dangers on the road.
