The Smugglers of Grogmock Mound

ADD TO WISHLIST >

You are about to confront The Smugglers of Grogmock Mound, a 6-10 hour adventure for 5th to 6th level players, designed for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition.

Your party of brave adventurers comes to the rescue of a trading expedition betrayed by its own crew on the edge of the wilderness. You must track a lost wagon of valuable trade goods into forests of giant grass, and enter a primeval ruin full of forgotten magic. But the smugglers who live there have other plans for the goods, and no qualms about killing trespassers.

This adventure can be used in any wilderness campaign. It can be played alone, or as an introduction to a new stage in a longer campaign. Scattered throughout the adventure are clues to more adventures, which you can use to build a longer story.

The Smugglers of Grogmock Mound includes:

  • A complete adventure with detailed background for the location and scenario.
  • Detailed event encounters related to the characters' quest for the stolen wagon.
  • Detailed encounters in locations around and in the smugglers' hideout.
  • Fourteen original NPCs with details to help you role-play.
  • A new magic item giving characters and their foes access to one-time use spells.
  • Two custom maps, provided in both Dungeon Master and Player versions.
  • Suggested milestone experience rewards.
  • Numerous hints and clues leading to continuing adventures.
  • An experimental mobile formatted PDF of the adventure.

Contents Warnings: animal cruelty, kidnapping, blood sacrifice

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.
