One Shot Module Overview: Secrets of the Forgotten Barrow

In this thrilling one-shot module set in the Twin Bridges region of Shai'Gidon, the adventurers find themselves drawn into a seemingly normal quest that takes them to the Watchers' Inn, perched on the cliffs overlooking the great Arch City of Nessa'Mor.

Little do they know that their journey will lead them to uncover ancient secrets tied to the non-sentient Morning Trees that has monster warding light at night and the lost knowledge that the Leaflings themselves have forgotten.

Introduction:

The adventurers arrive at the Watchers' Inn, where they encounter Veteran Captain Braddock, a grizzled war hero seeking brave souls to explore a long-forgotten barrow located to the east. The innkeeper, Elara, provides them with information about the area and sets the stage for their upcoming adventure. They learn of the barrow's unexplored depths and the rumors of hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.

Adventure Overview:

The adventurers venture into the Triproot Forest, facing treacherous terrain, dense forests, and hidden traps as they make their way to the ancient burial site. Inside the barrow, they encounter animated skeletons, cunning traps, and secret chambers filled with cryptic writings and symbols. The highlight of their journey is a circle puzzle that challenges their wits to unlock the path to the old memorial and the hidden sword.

NPCs:

- Veteran Captain Braddock: A grizzled war hero seeking a relic for his young son.

- Elara: The kind-hearted innkeeper who provides a warm welcome and helpful information.

- Soren: A knowledgeable scholar from the Lightseekers' Guild, eager to learn about the barrow.

- Silas: A mysterious guide who knows the hidden paths of the Triproot Forest.

- Thistle: A mischievous rogue with his own hidden agenda.

Encounters:

1. Forest Encounter: The adventurers face off against a pack of territorial wolves, testing their combat skills and teamwork.

2. Barrow Encounter: Animated skeletons guard the ancient chambers, engaging the party in a thrilling battle of steel and magic.

3. Final Chamber Encounter: The adventurers solve a circle puzzle to access the final chamber, where the ancient sword awaits. They are unaware of Thistle's disappearance, setting the stage for the revelation.

Climax and Revelation:

In the heart of the barrow, the adventurers discover an ancient memorial that suddenly illuminates with a vibrant green light. They uncover hidden engravings and a map that points to a secret chamber in the Ancient Library. Soren expresses astonishment at the mention of the Morning Trees in such ancient writings, while the group realizes Thistle's true motives. Soren urgently urges the party to seek refuge at the Lightseekers' Guild in Nessa'Mor, aware of the danger if the information falls into the wrong hands.

Conclusion:

The adventurers leave the barrow, armed with newfound knowledge, the ancient sword, and a sense of urgency. They make their way back to the Watchers' Inn, gathering their belongings and preparing to embark on the next stage of their journey. The revelation about the Morning Trees and the mysterious disappearance of Thistle add an extra layer of intrigue, setting the stage for their future adventures in the Ancient Library and the secrets it holds.

As the players delve into this one-shot module, they will experience a self-contained adventure that intertwines mystery, exploration, combat, and a race against time. The module serves as an engaging introduction to the world of Tai Vior, with hints at the larger conflict surrounding the Morning Trees and the factions vying for control. Will the adventurers protect the ancient knowledge, or will the secrets fall into the wrong hands, potentially bringing chaos to the continent? The answers lie ahead in their further journeys.
