Ambushers of the Splitrock pass

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Welcome to the first installment in the "Detailed Encounters" series!

Each "Detailed Encounter" -  features new monsters with unique stat blocks, new magic items, a custom battle map, and detailed NPCs. It also has story hooks and advice enough, to quickly turn it into a separate adventure!

About "Ambushers of the Splitrock pass":

"Splitrock pass always had an aura of mystery and a host of legends connected to it. When traders and travelers started disappearing on the pass, people quickly spread rumors that grew more strange and macabre with each day. Will your players stop disappearings and uncover the real truth behind them? Or will they become victims themselves?"

In "Ambushers", you players will fight against the raiding party of duergars battleragers, save famous (in close circles) bard Otto the Garlic Head, make a shifty ally with Pishka, the mind master, and, potentially, delve into the Underdark to find the ancient fortress of alhoonTelax the Secret Keeper, who was trapped in his own vault.

This book contains a detailed description of the encounter with duergars, including tactics, battle map, and motivations of characters involved. Also, you can find a complete backstory, starting quest hooks, and suggestions of how you can unfold this encounter and turn it into a separate adventure.

"Ambushers" is best suited for an adventuring party of 4-5 characters of levels 4 to 5, potentially scalable up to 8th level (advice on how to do it - inside the book).

"Storm Kings Thunder" - you can run this encounter during chapter 3 of the STK hardcover (The Savage Frontier). Advice on how this can be done best - in the book!

I very much like the attention to detail in this product, especially with regards to the duergar's tactics and the quality of the map included in it. My only problem is that the duergar battleragers are a little too complex for CR1 creatures, whic [...]

Really nice small addition to almost any big adventure. I like that it could be quite versatile and has enough materials to both be useful by itself and allow it to be incorporated in your own custom campaign. It is especially useful if you run random [...]

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.
