Monsters of the Lantern Vale

Inside the adventure

Three monster mysteries where observation and teamwork change the fight. In The Thing Beneath Blackwater Mill, discover what stops a troll's regeneration while rescuing the millwright's brother. In The Last Watch at Hollow Keep, face an oathbound ghost whose duty has outlasted the war. In The Statues in Briar Quarry, manage a basilisk's gaze and bring petrified workers home. For four level-4 characters, with adjustments for three or five. Each independent adventure aims for about two hours. Designed for ages 10-12 and older: serious fantasy suspense, memorable NPCs, dry humor, and dangerous choices without graphic gore. Investigation, negotiation and combat offer different paths to success. Includes twelve encounters, complete creature rules, an illustrated cover, three chapter illustrations, six DM/player map diagrams, and six player handouts. Uses 2014 fifth-edition rules with explicitly labeled homebrew, including an oathbound ghost variant. SRD 5.1 attribution is included. Original writing and AI-generated illustrations prepared with Familiar and Codex; maps are authored diagrams. Copyedited, independently reviewed and visually proofed; not playtested by a human group. 36-page paperback/download interior: the complete 34-page illustrated book plus two labeled session-note pages.
