This is a short Horror adventure where a group of four or five adventurers must explore the manor of the late Lord Hosmer, and unravel its secrets.
Homebrew game, Roleplay heavy, I want characters to be frightened, scared, panicked...


This place was once a decadent and lavish place to the Hosmer family, but something happened in times long past, the family had disappeared, and all of their holdings were abandoned. Those who have traveled through this area know that there are hundreds of tales that described what happened to Lord Janice Hosmer, and Dame Sybil. These tales range from a traveler killing them in their sleep, all of the way to cultist sacrifice.
No one knows what actually happened, but these tales are so wide and so varied that no person is sure which is actually happened. The decrepit mansion still stands to this day, though it has not weathered well.
This is where your story begins.
A terrible storm has blown in and the unlucky travelers, You poor unfortunate adventurers, have been forced to take shelter from the gale force winds while you were travelling towards a nearby village. There is a reason why the manor remains empty. It is cursed according to the lore that hangs around the land.
Now, you all must survive your stay in this forsaken place, but all who enter, be warned, the storms here can last for many days, and the gods of this place are cruel.
