Assault on the Umbral Fortress (Patreon)

An Adventure for the Shadowfell Fortress Battlemap Pack

Hey everyone! Our friend DM Dave has kindly written up an adventure for all patrons that you can get by downloading the PDF at the bottom of this post. This adventure is built around our recently Shadowfell Fortress pack that you can find here.

Assault on the Umbral Fortress

The Demiplane of Shadow is home to countless spiteful creatures whose cruelty is limited only by their imagination. While it's unusual for shadowkind to band together, occasionally a singular goal will arise that will draw multiple forces together. When this happens, the races of shadow might build a fortress of shadow. United under one dark roof, the creatures of shadow can plan, prepare, and execute their depraved designs.

Where to Add This Encounter

This side trek is designed for three to seven 5th- to 10th-level characters and is optimized for five characters with an average party level (APL) of 5. The Shadowfell Fortress design works best when it is placed at the front of a larger dungeon. Because it requires the characters to charge headfirst into multiple waves of creatures, the characters will need to have access to rest following the siege or, at the very least, plenty of healing supplies.

Epic Adventuring Music

Our friends over at Adventure Music have also provided an awesome track for this adventure called It's All Led Up To This which all patrons can download for free here.

Further Adventures

DM Dave has also made extra adventures for each of our fortress map variations, each one aimed at a different party level. These come with new monsters, player races and more.
