Mike's Free Encounter #98: Dr. Deathwhisker

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This is the 98th in an ongoing series aimed at providing the overworked DM with ready-to run encounters.

The PCs get a chance for an appointment with Dr. Deathwhisker, a very special undead cat. While the PCs might wish to befriend the bad doctor, they might also wish to destroy him. But they shall find this difficult since he has “nein” lives.

This encounter can be used as a means for PC to acquire Dr. Deathwhisker as a special familiar.

It includes a history/background for the encounter, a map, and monster stats. The companion ZIP file contains JPEG versions of the maps (with and without grid), the Word file of the encounter, and a Fantasy Grounds Unity Module file. The highest CR for the stock encounter is 3.

 

The encounter includes:

  • History/Background for the encounter.
  • Encounter guide
  • New Monsters
  • Color Map
  • NPC/Monster Stats

 

The companion ZIP file contains:

  • JPEG versions of the maps (with and without grid).
  • Word file of the encounter.
  • Fantasy Grounds Unity Module.
  • Images
  • Maps

 

On September 25, 2023 Remy (Rhodesian Ridgeback Paladin of Chonk) and I were bitten in a random dog attack. Remy suggested creating a discounted "Bite Club Bundle" to earn some extra royalty money to go towards the cost of our treatment. 

The bundle consists of all my non-free Guild work (this includes the pay-what-you-want works, too).

I'll expand the bundle to include all of my R series adventures as I write them-so look for update announcements via Dungeon Masters Guild. 

I also have more Free Encounters and Free Maps on the way; they won't be in the bundle (free stuff seems to cause issues with bundles working properly).

I see that the encounter is labeled as CR 3, but how does that translate to party size and level?

That is an excellent question, given the nature of challenge ratings.

If you use the default number of monsters in the encounters, it would be suitable for a party of four 3-4th level characters. The traps are also suitable for these levels. If you have a larger group or higher levels, two easy upgrades are adding more of the default monsters or adding in a tougher monster at the end that fits the theme, such as a mummy or wraith (or if you want a high-level version, a mummy lord). It can also scale down easily, by reducing the number of monsters from the default.

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.
