Back to the Forbidden Isle (Patreon)

This week, we return to the Forbidden Isle for the Pathfinder 1 conversion of Forbidden Isle of the Nightstalkers. As you might remember, last month we released the 5e-compatible edition of this adventure. Therefore, this week patrons at the $5 and up levels will also find codes for the module’s 5e edition in their inbox.

Converting this adventure to OSR is tricky. When I wrote the 5e edition, I wasn’t really thinking about conversions, and vampires in OSR are somewhat more deadly than in other editions. One potential plan—which just occurred to me—is to set this adventure for (say) 5th-level at OSR, which somewhat solves this problem. (If you are wise in the ways of OSR please tell me why I am wrong or right in the comments below).

About the Forbidden Isle

The backwater village of Thornhill is a dismal, dreary place. Its folk—superstitious, backward peasants—have little to do with the outside world. Sometimes, though, the outside world intrudes on Thornhill and its folk.

A century ago, a vampire came to Thornhill. Crusading adventurers destroyed the beast, but not without great cost. Before its destruction, the night-stalker infected several villagers with its terrible curse. The survivors could not bring themselves to slay their fellows. Instead, they imprisoned the vampire’s spawn in a hidden tomb to await a cure that never came.

Now, a mad priest’s blasphemous pursuit of the greater good lures the characters to a hidden prison-tomb dug into a lonely island amid the ebon waters of a cursed lake.

An adventure by Creighton Broadhurst for 3rd-level characters.
