656 The Eye of the Lost - Introductory Shadowdark Adventure (Patreon)

In The Eye of the Lost, a group of level-1 characters embarks on a Shadowdark introductory adventure. A strange cult has risen nearby small settlements. Its members are largely former brigands and highway robbers. It seems they found an antique relic in a cavern and became cult followers of a gemstone that speaks right into their minds, issues commands, and gives them magical abilities.

When the characters arrive, they encounter tendrils of limestone that converge on the gemstone. The scene eludes an explanation. One thing becomes clear, this gemstone is somehow connected with the two missing deities that exist only in myths and passed-down rumors. Many a scholar would pay dearly to know about the events that occur in the cave or to hear of the strange visions that The Eye of the Lost causes on the people that are close to it when active.

This level-1, introductory, Shadowdark adventure has the heroes explore a cavern system, confront a cult of brigands and conscripted townsfolk, and discover an ancient relic connected to the bygone past of the Material Plane.

This adventure has been designed for Shadowdark RPG through their 3rd party license. The system is meant to be accessible to OSR players and modern players alike. Adapting the material to 5e or other systems should not be difficult.
