Orbital Vampire Tower

The ancient world of Harth withers beneath its dying sun…but it’s not dead yet.

High in the night sky, a vampire’s tower is torn apart by a rampaging angel. People and monsters are trapped. Magical treasure lies scattered everywhere.

It’s all yours for the taking, if you can find a way out before the angel finds you.

This adventure is a one-shot dungeon-delve into a wizard’s tower. In space. With vampires. This is an alien-survival-horror-movie of an adventure (or at least, you can choose to play it that way).

ADVENTURE TYPE: One-Shot / Low Level / Level 3 / Dungeon Delve / Tower / Vampires / Survival-Horror

REVIEWS

"Well laid out, evocative writing, and a bunch of NPC’s make this an interesting and solid little dungeon. All of the elements are present, and the only thing at question is how much of the best it actually is." -- Bryce Lynch   

DESIGN NOTES

• This adventure is intended for low-level characters (around level 3). 
• It is focused mostly on exploration, with several social encounters and opportunities for deadly combat.
• It runs 3 to 5 hours.
• There are 17 unique magical items, 17 unique monsters, and 17 unique rooms. I swear I did not plan that, it just worked out this way.
