The Midnight Den

Buried among the more obscure and esoteric rumors one can find in Thesk’s less reputable taverns lay that of the Midnight Den. It is said that the rare gambler can find themselves in a place that accepts no coin at its tables. Instead, the bold risktaker is asked to bet things of true value: cherished memories, firstborns-yet-to-be, or even the final hours of one’s life. The truth to the rumors of the den have recently become more evident on the streets of Telflamm, with whispers abound about its sinister purpose and those unfortunate enough to have fallen victim to its hustle. If its nature is not revealed and its evils expelled, it seems this enigmatic establishment will forever drain on the desperate and the downtrodden.

Set in Telflamm, Thesk.

The Midnight Den can be a skill challenge and/or combat Q-Encounter, or Quick-Encounter, that can be run for a group of four to six players with 15th-level characters.  This encounter would be considered a ‘medium’ to ‘hard’ encounter.

Q-Encounters are designed to drop into your game where needed.  They are meant to add flavor to a campaign, giving a little depth to a combat encounter.

Included is a VTT map pack for use.
