[Monster Hunt] - The Spectres of Midwinter - Level 5, 9, 14 - Adventure (Patreon)

The party learns of a haunting taking place in Bodrum Manor each year at midwinter. Encouraged by Bucket, the mechanical butler who manages the estate, they explore the rooms of this worn-down mansion and uncover clues that help them in the upcoming battles. At the stroke of midnight, a ghost appears, intending to show Baron Bodrum the error of his ways with the help of a trio of spectres eager to taste the industrialist’s soul. The characters must defeat three midwinter spectres to banish the manor ghost and end its yearly haunting.

The Spectres of Midwinter is a 5th edition hunt optimised for four characters with an average party level (APL) of 5, 9, or 14. Characters who complete this hunt should earn enough experience to progress one-third of the way to 6th, 10th, or 15th level. The ghost of Baron Bodrum’s former business partner haunts his manor every midwinter, hoping to catch the baron in a trap. The adventurers find themselves at the mercy of the ghost, and his trio of spectres bent on teaching them a lesson on morality. Characters able to resist being frightened and that can deal thunder or psychic damage will find these abilities advantageous during this hunt.
