Guard Duty

ADD TO WISHLIST >

What happens to cultists when their evil plot is foiled?

This adventure contains four gritty scenarios, optimized for a party of four 1st-level characters.  Characters should reach second level by the end of the third scenario. The scenarios are based in Waterdeep and its surroundings, but can easily be moved to any large city.  

Burning Down the (Ware)House! begins this collection in-situ.  Instead of starting in a bar, the PC’s are thrust immediately into the action as they protect a warehouse under siege. In Shakedown the characters are asked to break up a small-time protection racket pestering a market in the slums of the Dock Ward. After two (hopefully) successful assignments, the characters have gained the trust of their employer.  In Guarding the Dead, they get to meet their boss as they guard a clandestine meeting in Waterdeep’s City of the Dead. In the last scenario, the characters learn the whereabouts of the malcontents behind recent attacks.  It’s time for Payback!

The adventure also includes descriptions of a few locations, important NPCs, and encounters that can be used in any urban setting.  Guard Duty is a stand alone adventure, but also kicks off the "Power Plays" story arc (taking characters from level 1 to level 5).

Most flexible adventure I have found. Can be run on it's own, or plugged right into an existing low level campaign which saves a lot of prep time for the DM. Consists of "mini" episodes that can easily be expanded. Well balanced between comba [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
