Yew Lane Estate | New Adventure for Dungeons & Dragons (Scalable) (Patreon)

A modest estate within the city, the Yew Lane Estate is a small walled estate with three buildings. The main building is the estate house proper – two-storied stone construction with a small (unmapped) attic and servant’s basement, topped with a gently sloped slate roof. Attached to the estate wall is a small gardener’s house (lower left) and the carriage house (upper right) also made of local stone although with a lot more wood than in the main house.

When the church of Zollis the Untouched was disbanded, the high deacon left the holy city and moved here to get away from the old church’s flock and the many troubles that still dogged it. With funds most likely funneled from the old church’s coffers, she bought the Yew Lane Estate and restarted her life as Lady Delles. Of course, she likely still has a fair amount of church funds to her name, and definitely is still in possession of a few “no-longer-sacred” artifacts that could attract the attention of many an adventurer, sage, or thieves’ guild.

Running the Adventure

Yew Lane Estate can be placed within any large city or town in your campaign. In addition to the roleplaying opportunities presented by the NPCs here, it can also be run as a classic jewel heist, kidnapping, or just even a "raid the compound" event for the NPCs.

Unlike a typical adventure, there is no set level for characters. The adventure can be played by characters of 1st - 15th Levels. Rules for scaling the adventure are included in the article.

This adventure will be included in the end-of-month "EVIL" compilation book.
