Barrow of the Five Kings

Dolmenwood Scenario by Dougal Cochrane

About This Adventure

Barrow of the Five Kings is a short adventure written for the Dolmenwood roleplaying name published by Necrotic Gnome. The adventure is an exploration of an ancient burial mound haunted by five spectral chieftains and their undead servants. Recent events have awakened the antler-crowned wraiths and the ancient mound now yawns open. The Antler Wraiths have begun kidnapping victims to bolster the ranks of the Wights that guard an ancient secret within the barrow.

Bold adventurers descending into the tomb must navigate the perils of its haunted halls, and risk the wrath of the Antler Wraiths and Wights interred within.

Time is short. The prisoners are running out of air.
