Introduction

A miniature of the noble Sir Lucky, sculpted by The Nailon Realm, and the Catfolk Enchanter from Found Family Adventurecrafts.

Game Masters can scale encounters for difficulty level and number of party members, but as it is written, this module is intended for 2-4 players between levels 1-3. It will take an estimated 2 one-hour-long sessions to complete, depending on how focused players are.

This adventure is designed with consequences for poor behavior in mind, with the assumption that new players may not understand that non-combat resolutions are a viable option. It is forgiving… to an extent. How severely you wish to enforce those consequences is up to your discretion as the Game Master. However, if you choose to enforce them, players should be aware that consequences are on the table.

As you read through this Adventure, you will see the acronyms CRB-I, CRB-II, and CRB-III. These refer to Core Rulebook I, Core Rulebook II, and Core Rulebook III of your game system.

This adventure also introduces Whiskerlings, a small race of humanoid felines. Feel free to substitute any equivalent feline race of your choice.

It was designed to be played with an optional miniature of Sir Lucky, lovingly sculpted by The Nailon Realm. You can find out more about the collaboration on the project's website - just scan this QR code:
