Game Setup
Last Time on When Black Roses Bloom: The first night in NeDragaard keep was a rough one, Talandril is tormented by nightly visions. The heroes can faintly hear Lord Soth’s Banshees and Skeletal warriors in the distance of the keep, unnerving everyone. When morning light comes, they leave their kitchen sanctuary to fine another mortal from Krynn who followed them into the keep. Eldralin, is a Half-elf fighter/cleric of Mishakal. Once he and Viruna connect, they quickly adopt him into the party. They continue to sweep this first level only to discover that it seems empty save for rats in the walls, ceilings and harpsichords. They enter a massive throne room only to be attacked by a mimic that really just wanted meat. They quick;ly climbed to higher levels in the keep, feeling the pressure of discovering Lord Soth before its too late, and come across a garden where even the plants lash out at you. They rush to the next level and run into a banshee, which seems to be their lot, but this time and the subsequent encounters, go a lot smoother. They begin collecting the treasure they find and are met by a kender named Ticklemop who has a medalion she believes Lord Soth needs to heal the land. In truth she is a vampire as all kender are in Sithicus, and when caught feeding off Viruna, the party understandably turns against her. Ultimately they feel they need her to lead them to Azrael so they can find Soth, and that is where we pick up, right after another Banshee is destroyed.
About When Black Roses Bloom
The nightbound realm of Sithicus is dying!
The grey forested crags scarred by jagged rifts echo with the laments of the dying elven nation. But the lord of the land sits uncaring on his blackened throne in the charred castle of Negragaard, lost in ancient memories. Through his passion and hatred the nightmare haunted death knight, Lord Soth, permitted catastrophe to befall his native world of Krynn. Now trapped in the Realm of Terror, Soth has once more brough calamity to his home. Abandoning rule of his twisted realm of Sithicus, Lord Soth has retreated to a still more distorted domain: the mad fantasies of his own history.
To save the land and themselves, the heroes must venture into banshee-haunted Nedragaard Keep, and there into the warped mindscapes of a tormented darklord. The history of the greatest villain of the DragonLance Saga is at last revealed in the Realm of Terror.
For fans of DRAGONLANCE and RAVENLOFT adventures alike. This grand adventure is suited for four to six player characters of levels 4-6. No prior knowledge of Krynn or the DRAGONLANCE Saga is necessary. You must have the RAVENLOFT boxed campaign set to use this adventure.
