Setup1 agent of Erathis (A)
2 shadow hounds (H) (level 6 skirmishers)2 wererats (W) (level 3 skirmishers)
On an isolated stretch of road, the PCs camped over night.
The agent was to meet them a hour before daybreak but as
dawn approaches he has not shown.The agents true purpose was discovered by the cabal
shortly after he left the Waymeet Tavern. He has been
pursued all night and arrives at the campsite at dawn,
his pursuers hot on his heels.Once the map has been placed, allow the PCs to place
themselves in the vicinity of the campsite, then read:
Arriving at the arranged meeting spot the night before,you made camp. Fully rested, you broke your fast withbread and cheese an hour before dawn. However, theagent of Erathis did not arrive when scheduled, and dawnis just now arriving, finally moving the low hanging fog.
Across the road, you hear the baying of hounds as anexhausted man hurls towards you, his clothes tatteredand ripped. Gasping, he croaks, Help when suddenly amassive shadowy hound pushes him off his feet.
Perception (DC 18): a brc jus spp bi
r r ro (is is iig rr s
o circl g).
Features of the Area Illumination:The areas underneath the trees havethe last remnants of the morning fog and are dimly lit.
The rest of the area has been clea red by the dawn rays
and is brightly lit. Terrain Feature: The rocky areas and fallen tree aredifficult terrain and provide cover. The two ponds are
knee deep and are considered difficult terrain for small
sized creatures.
TacticsThe hounds use the dim light under the trees and their
shroud of nightto hinder PCs. They alternate using bayinganduse shadow ambush to target leaders and controllersfirst and to disrupt the battle lines.
One of the wererats moves in to skirmish with the PCs,
trying to flank with the shadow hounds where possible.The hidden wererat tries to sneak around behind the PCs
and attack one who is using ranged attacks or spells.
Ending the EncounterThe encounter ends when a ll of the opponents are
either unconscious or dead. The wererats fight to the
death, however a shadow hound will try to retreat if
possible if its three allies have been defeated.The agent is unconscious and
badly injured. A DC 15 Heal
check or use of a healing power
will revive him.He briefly explains that a
group of shadar-kai are behind
the poisoned crops and that theyintend on finalizing their plan
today to cause rebellion and chaos
amongst the local population. The
PCs must act fast to stop them. Hepresses the urgency and need for
haste. The Waymeet Tavern is 3
hours away by foot. The bartender
is part of the inner circle and
should be questioned. The agentis a noncombatant and will not
return to the tavern.
TreasureThe wererats have old cloaks and
short swords. They each carry 9 sp.

I n t o t h e S h a d o w
E n c o u n t e r L e v e l 4 ( 8 8 5 X P )
Setup1 dark moon monk* (D) (level 6 soldier)
1 human guard (G) (level 3 soldier)
1 human mage (M) (level 4 artillery)10 human rabble (R) (level 2 minions)
Dont place the cavern entrance tile down until a PC inves-
tigates that area.
The Waymeet Tavern is the local watering hole for thefarmers in the area. Several hours away lies a couple of vil-
lages, and the tavern is located off the well traveled roads
so it receives few outside visitors and no guests.This ambiguity suits the current owners just fine, as they
use the tavern as a way to influence the locals and keep
watch over an entrance to the underground water supply
for the region. Through this water supply they have beenpoisoning the crops and grazing livestock.
Realizing they have been compromised, the cabal has
stepped up their activities and is planning on dumping the
rest of the pollutants today. A wagon full of barrels carry-ing the toxin has just been unloaded.
The players are likely to enter the tavern and question
the bartender or pick a fight. Either way, a brawl erupts
almost immediately. As there is several other options thePCs may elect to take, prepare to be flexible with how the
encounter unfolds. Regardless, the cultists and their lead-
ers will brook no interference and initiate a fight at theslightest provocation.
The cavern door is well secured (DC 30 Thievery check)and has a bell for sounding the alarm. The bartender
(monk) has a key.Have the players place their characters on the road
then read:
The faded paint above the door reads,Waymeet Tavern. It seems you have foundthe place. A small cottagestands to the side, whilea couple of farmerslounge beside an
empty wagon.
If the characters enter the tavern, read:
A clean shaven, muscled man works a cloth slowly acrossthe bar, while farmers and laborers keep hushed conver-sation over half empty tankards.

bor ss il is cilr srv.
Perception (DC 16): t crcr oics o o

PCs. (tis is um mg isguis s rmr.)
Features of the Area Illumination: The cottage and tavern are well lit, and
it is daylight outside.
Terrain Feature: The cavern and doorway are not
visible f rom the roadway. Once a character investigatesthe area, place the tile. The pool is difficult terrain for
small sized creatures.
TacticsIf a shadow hound in Encounter 1 escaped, they are
expecting trouble. The mage will have his +1 magic wand athand so adjust the stat block accordingly (give the mage +1
to attack and damage with any non-weapon powers). Oth-erwise it is locked in the cottage (see Treasure).
The monk will use dark moon strike and shadow tentacleas soon as possible, savingghost shuriken if the PCs do notengage in melee combat. The farmers, turned cultists, try
to swarm the PCs while the mage fights at range.
The guard and the farmers outside will run over
at the first sounds of combat. If the fight is goingpoorly, the monk or mage will yell at the cultists
to sound the alarm. Two cultists will then attempt
to run to the cavern door and ring the alarm bell
(warning those in the cavern).
Ending the EncounterThe encounter ends when all of the farmers, the monk and
the guard are either unconscious or dead. If the PCs attemptto interrogate the cultists, they know very little and are
not aware that the cabal is behind the poisoned crops.
The mage and guard know of the entrance to the cav-
erns but nothing else. Only the monk knows moreand he wont reveal any information. On his
person is the key that unlocks the door.
TreasureEither on the mage or in the cottage is a +1magic wand. Amongst the bodies is a total of23 sp and 15 cp plus the guards equipment.

1 shadar-kai gloomblade (G) (level 6 lurker)3 zairtail bonebreakers* (B) (level 4 brute)
1 zairtai l cutter* (C) (level 5 skirmisher)
As the adventurers enter the area, read:
Opening the door to the cavern, you find a lit torchbur ning br ightly in a sconce, with a dozen unusedtorches lying to the side. The passage, roughly cut,descends into darkness.
Give the players and opportunity to discuss and work outlight sources and marching order. When the characters
make their descent, read:
The passage winds down from the surface before openinginto a series of natural caverns. The air is cool and wet,with phosphorescent moss growing along the f loor andwalls sporadically. Small pieces of stone rubble are scat-tered about.

Perception (DC 24):

Features of the Area Illumination:
The room is dimly litby phosphorescent
moss on the walls
and f loor, plus any
light source carriedby the PCs.
Terrain Feature:One section of thecavern is unstable.
See the Rockslide
hazard for more
details. All water fea-tures are waist deep
and difficult terrain.
TacticsIf the bell was rung in Encounter 2, the shadar-kai
gloomblade has had t ime to equip his bracers of mightystriking (see Treasure).
The bonebreakers each try to take down a foe and then
drag them away from the group. They are tenacious. Thecutter is a pet of the gloomblade and stays hidden until
either called for, discovered or given a scent.
The gloomblade usesvei l of shadows to attack PCs fromhiding, preferring those isolated from the main groupeither by being dragged by the bonebreakers or by the
rockslide. If he wounds a PC he f inds dangerous, he will
f lick blood near the cutter, giving it the scent of the PC.
It will t hen attack that PC until either one is dead.The gloomblade knows of the rockslide and avoids
that area, while attempting to lure the PCs through. The
zartails instinctively keep away from the area, even afterthe rockslide has finished.
Ending the EncounterThe encounter ends when all of the zairtails and the sha-
dar-kai gloomblade are either unconscious or dead. Theshadar-kai is more terrified of retribution from his masters
than any torture and will reveal nothing if interrogated.
The rushing waters in the caverns beyond block the
sound of battle from reaching those in Encounter 4.
TreasureThe shadar-kai carries a set ofbracers of mighty striking(heroic tier) in his backpack. If he was forewarned by thealarm in Encounter 2, he is instead wearing them.

Setup3 dark creepers (D) (level 4 skirmishers)
1 kir-lanan wing* (K) (level 4 skirmisher)1 shadar-kai witch (W) (level 7 controller)
The main cavern area contains several pools and onestream of water, the top of the water table for the vast
underground water supply for the region. Through these
access points, the cabal has been slowly introducing
magically enhanced pollutants into the water supply, kill-ing the crops and livestock. The more robust trees have
not yet succumbed.
Knowing that they have been compromised, the plan
has been rushed forward several weeks. Carefully placeddissidents in the local communities and senior guilds
have primed the local population with messages of hate
and anger at the nobility and churches who seem to havedone nothing to help (in reality they have tried, but been
frustrated in their efforts).
Stopping the water supply from being contaminated
and revealing those responsible will ease the tensions andrescue the area from certain anarchy.
The leader of the group is a shadar-kai witch,
Morlgaru Shadowborne. As the adventurers enter the area, read:
The cavern is humid and wet. The sound of r ushingwater echoes loudly, drowning out other ambient no ise.Standing in swirling shadow a tattooed woman pullsthe cork from a barrel and pushes it into a s tream,landing beside 3 other barrels.

Stealth check): a rk crpr is lurkig i

Perception (DC equal to the kir-kanan wings

Features of the Area Illumination:The room is dimly l it by phosphorescentmold on the floor and ceiling.
Terrain Feature: The pools and stream are waist deep
and count as diff icult terrain.
TacticsThe shadar-kai witch uses her deep shadow aura to assistherself and her allies and beshadowed mind as often as pos-sible. She tries to fight the PCs at range.
Both the kir-lanan wing and the dark creepers use the deepshadow aura effect to their best advantage, making Stealthchecks when hidden by the cavern and using the concealment
to stay hidden and gain combat advantage against the PCs.

I n t o t h e S h a d o wEnding the Encounter
The encounter ends when the shadar-kai witch, kir-lananwing and dark creepers are all either unconscious or dead.
With the cabal f inally defeated, the PCs can remove the
barrels from the water. Over time the crops make a full
recovery. Make a note of how long the combat takes. Ifthey succeed in removing the barrels within 10 rounds of
the start of combat, they succeed in ensuring no further
damage occurs and the crops are restored faster. Theyreceive a special reward for their efforts.
PCs may choose to attempt to remove the barrels during
combat, and this is a viable tactic. The barrels require a
DC 12 Athletics check to lift from the water.They can then return to their employer and claim
their reward.
TreasureLocated in a sack on the floor is a +1 vicious weapon (pick aweapon type suitable to the PCs) to be used as a bribe for a
local official, and 3 gems worth 50gp each.
If the PCs successfully removed the barrels in the 10round time limit, the Church of Erathis is exceedingly
appreciative and provides each PC with apotion of healingin addition to the agreed fee.
If the PCs incapacitated but did not kill the humanrabble in Encounter 2, the local populace are so grate-
ful that the nobility seizes the opportunity to publically
reward the PCs, and grants each PC a purebred Riding
Horse with an ornate saddle.
