All Hallows Eve: Reawakening

Two years ago I spent some time creating a fun and twisted Halloween Adventure for 5th edition
Dungeons & Dragons. The group that I ran the event for loved it so much that they hoped it would
return the year after. After updating and running it for a second year as All Hallows Eve: Rebirth they
demanded that I continue to expand it and run the horror again this year. All Hallows Eve:
Reawakening is the third edition of that adventure. It has been expanded with new monstrosities,
new mechanics, new event items, and new locations whilst maintaining the continuation of the
adventurer’s story from the previous editions.

Introduction
Once a year when the planes of the mortal
realms of existence begin to overlap with the
eternal realms, a holiday is held wherein the
masses indulge themselves in frivolous events
and entertainment. But for those ancient
scholars and sages knowledgeable in the old
ways, it is a far more fearsome night wrought
with frightening terrors lurking and watching
from the shadows. As the barriers between
the realms collide, foreign magic begins to
seep between the planes causing rifts and
time warps between the planes. Amongst
these realms is one where the only the dead
know how to reach and the living cannot
escape. A land where terrifying monsters
roam the streets and evil festers and grows
without notice, this is Hallowgrave. It is from
the link to this realm where All Hallows Eve
originated. A bad moon is on the rise, all
should watch their steps lest they lose their
way in the dark.
Story Overview
The characters are drawn into this story of
their own volition and thirst for adventure
into the unknown. On the day of All Hallows
Eve, the barriers between the realms are at
their weakest. During this annual event the
gateway to Hallowgrave has opened
temporarily, the realm which many centuries
ago inadvertently caused the start of the
superstitious event known as All Hallows Eve.
Unbeknownst to the characters they
unwittingly fall through the gateway between
these worlds finding themselves stranded in
this dark realm. Hallowgrave is a town of
monsters and eternal night. Regular
humanoids do not exist in this realm. Local
inhabitants include werewolves, undead,
vampires, demons, abominations and a
scattered assortment of vile evils. Thrust into
a nightmare filled realm with no way back, the
characters must learn more about this town
and find a way to escape before the barriers
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
separate again. Time is not on their side and
being trapped here for a whole year before
being able to try escaping again does not
sound appealing.
Running the Adventure
This is an adventure designed for play in 5th
Edition Dungeons & Dragons. To run this
adventure, the Dungeon Master will need a
copy of the Dungeon Masters Guide (DMG)
and players will need a copy/s of the Players
Handbook (PHB).
Text presented in a coloured text box such as
this is designed for the DM to read aloud
when characters first arrive at important
locations or upon triggering specific events as
described in the adventure.
Unless the DM is adding extra encounters or
flavours to the game, most monsters and
NPC’s will use custom stat blocks located at
the end of this adventure article where they
can be quickly referenced as they appear and
if any other monsters from other books are
used they will be denoted by their shorthand
for (MM, monster manual).
Halloween themed currency, equipment and
magical items that are referenced, found or
used in this adventure have been custom
created and are only found in the rear of the
document. Each item will be detailed and
their uses or effects explained.
Adventure Summary
The characters are inadvertently drawn into
the frightening world of Hallowgrave. Upon
arrival they will be met by William the
gatekeeper scarecrow. William serves as a
guide to the characters as they attempt to
escape this deathly world. William will inform
the characters that they must acquire 6 gear
shaped ciphers to reopen the gateway back to
the mortal realm. These ciphers can be found
in various locations throughout the town of
4|Page
Hallowgrave. Some ciphers are in the
possession of various creatures of the night,
whilst others might be up for sale in exchange
for goods or services. The characters will
inevitably seek and acquire the ciphers to
progress the story and attempt to flee before
time runs out. The final boss of this adventure
will always be the Headless Horseman and in
his possession is always the 6th cipher needed
to leave Hallowgrave. After collecting all the
ciphers and ending any other unfinished
business, the characters will return to William
and attempt to open the gate. William
provides the characters with one final riddle
to solve in order to open the gateway. Players
should inevitably leave as quickly as possible
lest they be stuck in the Hallow for another
year.
Running Out Of Time
All Hallows Eve is an adventure where time is
of the essence. The barriers that separate the
realms are at their thinnest, only allowing
travel for only a small window of time. At
most this window of opportunity is open for a
mere 24 hours or one day before they are
sealed shut and another year must past
before they reopen. The characters are under
the pressure of this time limit else they will be
stuck on the other side.
Despite the time pressure, Hallowgrave is an
independent town with a number of
interesting locations to visit and explore as
well as many useful and novelty items to be
acquired. Fun should take precedence over
the time limit in this Halloween adventure to
ensure everyone can have a laugh as they
trick or treat their way through this session.
Character Level
All Hallows grave is designed for a party of 3-5
level 4 player characters. However this
difficulty can be easily modified by the
dungeon master by reducing or increasing the
hit points and armor class of the boss
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
monsters and modifying the success DC of
skill checks to alter the difficulty of the
adventure. When completing a one off it is
unlikely that characters will level up during
the course of the adventure. However
levelling between boss fights may help players
in place of an additional long rest given the
time restraint is less than 24 hours.
Starting the Adventure
The starting location for this adventure can be
any moderately sized town or larger city etc.
Any settlement of this size will do. At this
point the DM may decide to read the
following and start the adventure.
Alternatively at your digression you may
choose to forgo the following town or city
hook that is traditionally used and have the
characters stumble through the dense forest
and by sheer luck or lack of said luck
discovering the doors.
Hook 1 (town/city)
For the past several days the local area has
been abuzz with excitement and activity. The
local populace is preparing for an annual
festival of grand proportions. The festival
known as All Hallows Eve is a somewhat
religious, somewhat superstitious holiday for
the masses to indulge themselves in frivolous
entertainment. Hallows Eve is a holiday
supposedly to represent the single day of the
year when the planes of existence begin to
overlap allowing the realms of horrors to join
with that of the mortal realms. Many
superstitious folk are convinced that on this
day the dead will walk.
At this point feel free to have the party
explore the local area and gather supplies or
information as they see fit. If they are not
already formally a party then this makes a
good point for characters to introduce
themselves and meet up for before the main
adventure begins.
5|Page
Unlike many adventures the true start to this
adventure is more of a random divine
occurrence rather than NPC or player input. In
order to peak the characters interest and
curiosity we introduce them to the doors.
Stumbling past a dirty overgrown stone
gateway you feel an uneasy sense of déjà vu.
Like somewhere you have seen those rusted
gates before whether in your travels or in a
lost book. Staring intently at the gates in the
corner of your mind you feel the familiar pull
of strange magical forces willing you to open
the gates.
The gates are rusted and slightly overgrown
with small stringy vines and require a strength
check of DC15 in order to force them open.
Cutting the fines before forcing the gate open
will reduce the strength check to DC11.
Additional characters assisting to open the
gate will add advantage to the strength check.
Hook 2 (forest)
Stumbling through the dense underbrush and
tangled growth of the forest, you have lost
sight of the overgrown path you followed. You
find yourself lost in the deep of the woods as
a fading sun steals the light from around you.
As the final ray of light disappears leaving you
in darkness you catch a glimpse of light out of
the corner of your eye. A wisp of blue light
The blue wisps are often referred to as spirits
of the woods who guide those lost. Whether
by good intentions or ill ones it is unknown
what drives these creatures.
Following the direction of the wispy blue light
as it appears and disappears you begin to feel
the pull of old magic. The trees around you
feel familiar somehow as if you had walked
this trail before. Ahead the blue wisp flashes
one final time before disappearing into a
clearing of trees bathed in fresh moonlight.
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
The Doors
Many believe the doors to be a farce and
nothing more than a traveller’s myth. The
doors can be thought of as an otherworldly
micro realm or a realm between realms. They
are in fact doors that act as gateways to many
distant and forgotten realms. It is unknown
how these doors function or why they decide
to appear to those that they do.
Looking into the clearing beyond lies a grove
sporting over a dozen oversized trees growing
in a slightly scattered ring. A slight breeze
rustles through the undergrowth and the
leaves. Faint echoing whispers beckon you
forth towards the trees as if blown along by
the breeze.
Entering the ring of trees reveals an odd sight.
Each massive tree has a large heavy set door
moulded into the base. Each door has a
symbol carved into its panelling. The whispers
beckon you towards a particular tree whose
door is slightly ajar. A carving of a dark orange
pumpkin sporting a maniacal grin is
positioned in the centre of the door.
Each of the mystical doors represents a
gateway to a foreign realm. Only the
Hallowgrave door is ajar and can be opened.
Attempting to open any other door will result
in failure. These other doors cannot be
opened by any means physical or magical.
These trees surpass even that of legendary
beings. They cannot be burnt, harmed or
affected by magic.
Only Way Forward
Opening the already ajar door will increase
the volume of the whispers around the
characters. It is very difficult to make out
what the whispers are saying, however they
are beckon the characters to step through the
dark portal into the hollow trunk of the tree
before them.
If the players decide to step through then
they will immediately vanish from sight. The
6|Page
characters will experience a never ending
falling sensation as they fall through complete
darkness.
If the players decide to leave the door alone
and attempt to leave, the door will swing
open by itself. The air around the characters
will suddenly all start to rush towards the
open doorway as if it is being sucked away.
This great moment of wind forces the
characters towards the doorway with so much
force that escape is impossible.
After each character has made their way
through the door either by choice or by force
it slams shut behind them and is unable to be
opened from that side again.
The courtyard is made of black and grey gritty
stone slabs about 30 by 30 feet in area. The
walls are of similar material about 10 feet
high with another foot of metal spikes on top
of the wall. The gateway is the only obvious
way out of the courtyard. The strange stone
table is covered with inanimate magical runes
in an unknown dialect. Aside from the oddly
shaped holes the table is uninformative.

Hard Landing
After falling through the door with the
grinning pumpkin and falling for what seems
like an eternity, the characters slam into a
cold grimy stone pavement. Normally falling
at this speed would probably kill a character
of level 4, but this world is a little strange and
odd occurrences are certainly common
around here. Characters are allowed to make
a Dexterity Saving Throw of DC15 or take 2D6
bludgeoning damage as they land or half as
much on a successful roll.

Regaining your footing and balance you take

stock of your surroundings. It is the now the
dead of night with an unnaturally large sized
moon hanging overhead. You find yourself in
a grey stone courtyard surrounded by a stone
wall with twisted iron spikes mounted on top.
Behind you is an oddly shaped large stone
table with oddly shaped holes carved into it.
In front of you to the left is a large cast iron
gate decorated with twisted faces. To the
right of the gate stands a pole with a tattered
looking ramshackle scarecrow tied to it. The
scarecrow has a bright orange pumpkin with a
gnarly face carved into it for a head and
appears to be wearing an old fashioned
stained suit.

Waking William
If the party attempts to open the cast iron
gate then immediately read this aloud.
A maniacal voice fills your ears. “Stop right
there sunshine!” The voice can audibly heard
coming from the scarecrow next to the gate.
“Who’s been opening my gate?” With these
final words the scarecrows head snaps at an
odd angle as turns to face the characters. A
warm glow shining from its eyes and toothy
mouth.
“Hahaha, is it that time of year already?” The
scarecrow suddenly straightens its head, his
limbs coming to life cracking and popping as if
they hadn’t moved in a long time. “Forgive my
ghastly manners hahaha” it laughs maniacally
as it gives what you assume would be a small
bow if not for the rod holding him aloft. “You
may call me William! I am the gatekeeper of
this here gate! No not that gates the one
behind you of course! Its limbs swing around
as he exaggerates his speech.
William is the local gatekeeper whom guards
the gateway between Hallowgrave and the
other realms. Neither good nor evil William
wishes only to help guide those who pass
through his gate. William serves as a guide to
the characters whilst they spend time in
Hallowgrave. He is able to answer most
questions about the surrounding areas and
direct the characters to most of the important
locations in the town.
“Hahaha, well now that you’re here you might
as well stay, it’s not like you can go back just
yet anyways!” “If you want to leave then
you’ll have to listen to me, because
somewhere out there it must be All Hallows
Eve!” He laughs hysterically. “Oh what
frightful fun you will have with your stay,
better be careful though or you might just
stay this way. I hope you do better than the
last ones that came; they were too old and
much to plain.”
“So please allow me to be the first to
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
welcome you poor unfortunate souls to our
frightfully pleasant town of Hallowgrave!”
A Way Back Home
William is more than happy to assist the
characters in finding a way back home. He is
rather insistent that they shouldn’t stay for
too long in the Hallow lest the local
monstrosities realize that they are mortal
beings whom do not belong in this realm.
William is able to inform the characters of the
following.
 The gateway back to the mortal realm
can be opened again by collecting 6
gear shaped ciphers that will unlock
the gate when inserted into the stone
table behind them.
 Time is of the essence and the
characters only have about 1 day
before the gateway is sealed for
another year.
 The first cipher used to belong to
William, but he sold it to Skelton the
merchant in the town square. The
players may be able to purchase it
from Skelton at a higher price.
 He explains that gold, silver and
copper are worthless in Hallowgrave
and that the local currency is Candy
Corn Pieces or CCP. Skelton is more
than happy to give the players 100
CCP to get them started.
 The other 5 ciphers belong to 5
dangerous horrors of Hallowgrave.
Repeating Adventure
All Hallows eve is an adventure that can be
repeated each year with slightly different
changes each time. 4 of the 5 horrors of
Hallowgrave are chosen at random from a
predetermined list of horrors. This means that
each year you will face different horrors to
acquire ciphers than the year before. The final
horror or 5th horror is always the Headless

Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
Welcome to Hallowgrave
Beyond the gateway is the town square of
Hallowgrave. It is about 200 by 250 feet in
size. This is the central hob of the town and
the adventuring area. All points of interest in
and around the area can be accessed via the
town square. The town square is also home to
a number of points of interest to the
characters including the gallows and Skelton
the merchant.
Passing through the iron gate reveals a large
town square made from the same black and
grey gritty slabs of stone. The square is light
with green flickering lamps burning brightly
under the moonlight. The area is filled with
various horrors, nightmares, and other
creatures from myth and legend as they
wander about their nightly business in an
almost humanoid like fashion. The centre of
the square is taken up by a large raised
wooden platform atop which stands a large
set of gallows. Across the square can be seen
an outdoor merchants shop front. Twisted
buildings and winding alleyways stretch off
into the distance as they curve out of sight.
The lighting around Hallowgrave is
consistently kept at a dim flickering glow by
the green lanterns. There is a slight breeze
that occasionally ruffles leaves along the
ground. There is a sightly damp musky smell
in the air. Travelling around Hallowgrave takes
an average amount of time, despite the
twisting mess of alleyways, twisting spires and
ramshackle houses the streets are clearly
defined and well signposted. For those paying
attention it is difficult to get lost.
Points of Interest
Hallowgrave Is filled with many sightseeing
opportunities for the casual traveller. Most
are exceptionally dangerous and terrifying but
that makes it all the more fun. The primary
points of interest are mainly concerned with
the Hallowgrave horror residencies.
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
1. Skelton the Merchant
True to his name Skelton the merchant is
indeed a skeleton walking around as if it owns
the place (technically he does own the place).
His and we assume it’s a he, long deceased
body was resurrected by an overly powerful
necromancer many years ago for the price of
his soul. Unfortunately for Skelton, It’s even
harder trying to find a job in this place when
you’re extra dead.
He has the appearance of a bleached bone
skeleton whose right arm is detached from
the body. He unceremoniously carries this
arm around using it as some sort of cane.
Additionally he wars atop his head a rather
fancy velvet top hat. Unfortunately for the
party Skelton is mute as he has no vocal cords
or any organs for that matter. But he
somehow still understands everything being
said.
Several wooden wagons have been pulled into
a half circle and their frames ramshackle into
what appears to be a small market place lit
with flickering green lanterns hung from the
eves. A click clack sound can be heard as a
skeleton wonders amongst the rows of
strange goods straightening and adjusting the
merchandise available. Upon your approach
he turns and greets you with a hearty wave of
his bony hand.
Skelton is the local general goods store in
town square and is the location at which
characters may spend their hard earned
Candy Corn Pieces to purchase a wide
assortment of All Hallows Eve themed items
ranging from weapons, novelties, useful tools
and food. A description of each item and a list
of available goods and prices may be found in
their own chapters towards the rear of the
article. It is from Skelton that the characters
may purchase one of the Ciphers needed to
escape.
11 | P a g e
2. Eve’s Gallows
At the centre of the town square lies the
gallows. This is a prominent landmark for
Hallowgrave residence, a constant reminder
of their places in society. These gallows are
often given a birth by the local residents; the
reason for this is unknown why. If anyone
enquires about the gallows they will be
brushed off and told not to speak of it.
At the dead centre of the town square lies a
raised wooden platform with ropes hanging
from a beam across the top. A small creaky
staircase leads up to the platform.
Atop the platform to your shock stands a
young elvish woman no more than 200 years
old tied to a small post with a rusted heavy
length of chain. A noose can be seen draped
over her neck. The chains keep her in place
and she is unable to move.
Hearing your footsteps her head snaps to look
at you a look of terror and pain upon her face.
A single word escapes her parched lips “help”.
The woman tied to the post is called Eve. She
is a prisoner here in the Hallow and wishes to
escape at all cost. She cannot remember how
long she has been here, who brought her here
or why she is being kept chained atop the
gallows platform. She hasn’t been fed or paid
any attention by anyone since being tied to
the post. She secretly knows that others have
tried to help her in the past but does not part
this information willingly. She is desperate to
escape her chains and return to the mortal
realms and even begs for your help promising
them treasure and power in return for help.
The chains that surround her are in fact a
Chains of Torment item and cannot be
broken, unlocked, or pried open with magic.
Every attempt to tamper with the chains
causes them to start tightening around her,
crushing her ever so gently. The only way to
free Eve from the chains is to defeat the
Headless Horseman towards the end of the
adventure. Upon his defeat the enchantment
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
on the chains will fade allowing her to move
freely.
The truth surrounding Eve’s plight is a mystery
to all.
3. The Old Church
The old church is located to the west of the
town square and is easy to find with its
toppled bell tower. Even for the local
residents of Hallowgrave this landmark is one
to be wary of. Agatha the Mad Maiden finds
residence in this dilapidated church. Agatha is
one of the potential horrors that the
characters might face in order to retrieve one
of the ciphers needed to escape.
The bold moonlight shines strongly down
upon the cold grimy stone of an old church.
Blackened windows and a toppled bell tower
leave much to be desired in the way of
upkeep. The grass is shrivelled brown and
beds of dead rose vines cover a small wall at
the front walkway. A heavy set wooden door
with rusted hinges stands strong at the front
of this ominous building. This unholy place
emanates a chill to those who think of
venturing forward.
4. Hallowgrave Cemetery
On the south eastern outskirts of Hallowgrave
one may find the local cemetery. It is a cold
dark place littered with graves. Some of which
have been filled, some of which have been
opened and others which are yet to be used.
Orrick the Gravedigger can most often be
found here at the cemetery digging graves
and in many cases filling them with
unsuspecting victims. Orrick is one of the
potential horrors that the characters might
face in order to retrieve one of the ciphers.
The foul moon shines closely overhead,
somewhere in the distance crows squawk as
they pick apart a small critter. The cemetery is
surrounded by tall stone walls topped with
gnarled metal spikes. A large solitary wrought
iron gate embellished with laughing skulls is
12 | P a g e
the only apparent entrance. On closer
inspection a strong earthy smell invades your
senses.
5. Pleasure Manor
A small grassy hill rises on the eastern side of
town. Atop this hill lies a small quaint manor.
Everyone in town knows where the pleasure
manor is. Said to be a joyous establishment
where dreams really do come true, or so they
say at least. The reality might be much more
terrifying. The pleasure manor is the local
residence of one Lisbeth the temptress
another of the potential horrors that the
characters may come across in their quest to
find the ciphers.
Beside the road is a well-trimmed lawn and
garden complete with hedges and a small
gate. Beyond the small archway is a long
stone path that winds from the main road up
the hillside towards a slatted wooden building
painted bone white. The path ends at a small
front porch. As you approach the house it is
very noticeable that this estate is well
maintained compared to the other buildings
in the town.
6. The Lords Tower
A tall narrow tower with a bulbous keep at
the pinnacle lies directly north of the town
square. It is very difficult to mistake this
building for one of less importance as it is the
tallest building in all of Hallowgrave. Few
people have reason to go knocking on that
tower and even fewer are said to ever return,
best you steer clear of it. The lords tower is
home to Lord Lichtenstein himself and his
abomination pet Fletcher. One of the more
powerful beings in Hallowgrave he commands
much respect as one of the possible horrors
the characters might have to face to earn a
cipher for their freedom.
A tall crooked tower stretches up before you
like a narrow column of poor architecture. A

large keep roosts atop this tower, bright lights
can be seen shining from the grubby window
panes. A rusty metal gateway swings inward
to a small courtyard leading to the base of the
tower and hopefully a way up.
7. Hallowgrave Butchery
In the western district of Hallowgrave lies one
of the few local independently owned food
shops, namely the Hallowgrave butchery. It is
a small shop located on a busy corner near a
warehouse and is said to be the carver of the
finest flesh and bone in town or so their
business card says. The owner of this fine
establishment is Oleg, the Butcher another of
the possible horrors the characters may need
to face to gain their freedom with another
cipher.
The small shopfront looks slightly out of place
in the mottled grey stones of Hallowgrave. A
wide doorway and a large grimy window take
up most of the shop front with a small
tattered awning and a rustic looking sign
swinging overhead. The sign reads
Hallowgrave Butcher and creaks gently in the
breeze. It’s too dark to see much beyond the
dirty window it appears the lights are off and
no sounds can be heard from inside. Despite
this the air surrounding the shop feels slightly
warm. Somebody must be home.
8. Town Park
Seems odd doesn’t it having a park in a dark
realm such as this but rest assured even the
creatures of the night need a quiet place
where they can play and gaze at the moon.
The town park is in fact quite famous as it
contains the resting spot of Asteroth, a
legendary demon who once called
Hallowgrave his home. His grave is marked by
a leafless enormous tree that dwarfs all other
plants around it sucking the ground dry of
nutrients in order to survive. It is said that the
tree grew from Asteroth’s corpse. Asteroth’s
Tree is in fact one of the possible horrors the
13 | P a g e
characters may face in their quest to find one
of the ciphers.
The full moon and ghastly green lamps
illuminate the well-trimmed grass and
cobblestone pathways of the hedged off park.
It is about the size of a football field and is
scattered with trees, small seat benches, a
murky looking pond and small ornamental
statues. Above all else at the centre of the
park stands a large dark wood tree devoid of
any leaves. The tree takes a prominent place
in the park with a small stone plaque
embedded at its base. It reads “Asteroth’s
Tree”.
9. The Old Cellar
Through a hole in the wall down a small side
street lays the once grand establishment of
the Leopold Cellars. What was once a grand
warehouse filled to the brim with the strong
smell of wines aging in heavy oaken barrels
has been replaced by a heavy musk and thick
webs. The old cellars newest resident is that
of Laciana, the spider queen whom makes her
nest in the damp confines beneath the
ground. Laciana is one of the possible horrors
that the characters may face in order to gain
another cipher.
Squeezing down the tight street the alley
abruptly ends at a tall wall. A dusty heavy set
of reinforced oak wood doors have been set
into the wall. Blowing gently across the door
and swiping the dust away reveals a once well
carved and gold leaf painted sign. It reads
“Leopold Cellars”. There is no other entrances
into the alleyway save for the one behind you
and the doors before you. Somewhere in the
corner you can hear a spider rustling as it
traps a squealing mouse.
10. The Pumpkin Patch
On the southern outskirts of Hallowgrave lies
a small farm. It is here that all the pumpkins in
Hallowgrave are grown. The pumpkin patch is
lorded over by Lazarak, the Pumpkin King who
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
watches over the proper development of this
important commodity. Lazarak is another of
the potential horrors that the characters must
face for yet another cipher.
A low moss covered stone wall stretches
around the low lying hill. A Dirt path leads to a
small opening into the patch. Vines have
spread and stretch across nearly every inch of
ground, with broad leaves shining in the
moonlight. Bright bulbous pumpkins in
various stages of growth hang loosely from
the vines onto the ground covering the whole
hill with vegetation.
11. William’s Courtyard
A small walled off courtyard that connects
through a gate to the town square. This is the
initial starting point when characters first
arrive into Hallowgrave. It is also where
William and the gateway back to the mortal
realms can be found. Creatures will rarely
venture here as it is a place of foreign magic
and watched closely by William and his
unknown masters. It is unknown whether
William watches the gate to stop things
coming in, or to stop things going out.
12. Ghost Light Market
The Ghost Light Market is a lesser known and
more dubious marketplace hidden well away
from the prying eyes of others. Run by a
clever and sly acting Minotaur who refuses to
divulge his name, this underground
marketplace is a good place to find some
unusual items that the regular merchants
don’t stock. The items this market sells can be
located in the Ghost Light Market Shop list
and the item descriptions can be found with
the regular descriptions. The Minotaur wears
simple dark clothing and is missing one of his
horns. He has a gruff nature refusing to say
more than what is necessary. Despite being a
more secretive establishment, most people
seem to know where it is hidden.
14 | P a g e
The alleyway looks just like every other, cold,
grimy stonework with an uneven footpath.
About halfway down the narrow alley there is
a door frame etched into the stonework with
no obvious handle. Touching the door
releases a soft red glow shining from within
the carved lines. The door swings inwards and
cool air brushes against your face. Before you
lay a steep stair case heading into the ground.
13. The Meat Locker
The meat locker can be found in the same
street nearby the Hallowgrave Butchery. It is a
large warehouse where the fresh meat is
interred and preserved in its cool depths. This
building is locked well and truly tight and
there is no known way in save for the front
door which is locked with an incredibly
powerful enchantment. The only way to gain
access to this building is by using a Meat Key
and unlocking the front door.
The Meat Locker has been unlocked and
made available to players for the first time in
this year’s update. The Meat Locker is
designated as a side objective and is not
essential to the completion of the story. Deep
in its cool depths the Meat Locker is the local
fighting ring, for horrors to test their
otherworldly strengths. At this location
players have an opportunity to fight a bonus
boss to attempt to gain extra rewards. The
only bonus boss at this time is William.
A looming building stands before you and
stretches put taking up most of the town
block with its dead vine covered walls. There
are no windows no lights and nothing of any
interest surrounding this building save for the
almost ornate door set firmly at its front.
Looking closer at the hefty wooden door
reveals that there is no handles. Only a large
oddly shaped keyhole offset from the centre.
14. The Eatery
The local Hallowgrave eatery is the most
popular and also the most horrifying dining
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
experience in the whole town. Serving a
plethora of otherworldly cuisine to suit even
the most ghastly of dining patrons. Caution is
advised however, if you don’t eat the food
than the food might just eat you instead.
From the eatery players may acquire an
assortment of food and drink items in
exchange for Candy Corn Pieces. The items
the eatery sells can be located in the Eatery
Shop list. At this stage in development there
are no item descriptions for these
consumables, they are simply classified as
regular food and drink. The eatery is run by
Belphegor the demon of gluttony’s daughter
Bella, whom takes the utmost pride in serving
only the most treacherous meals she can
concoct in her hellish kitchen.
The chilly evening breeze gently swings the
rusted chains of the creaking sign back and
forth in front of the small stone walled cafe.
The sign is grimy and rotting, but you can still
clearly make out the faded word ‘eatery’. In
the air around the small café you can smell
the pungent odour of strong spices mixed
with something rotten that instantly makes
you gag.
15. Half-Moon Woods
To the west on the far edge of the town of
Hallowgrave stands the enormous trunks of
the foreboding Half-Moon Woods. Each
ancient oak is at least dozen feet wide at the
trunk and creates a dark endless maze of
trees whose high canopies of branches
prevent even the astonishing moonlight from
falling upon the ground. Even amongst the
horrifyingly strong residents of Hallowgrave,
few will willingly enter the half-moon woods
for fear of the creatures within. One of these
brave souls is in fact a professional hunter and
trapper whom goes by the name Lucas. Lucas,
of the waning moon is one of the possible
horrors that the characters may face to
retrieve another cipher.
15 | P a g e
A thick low lying grey fog rolls slowly out from
the foot of the giant oaken forest. The stained
trunks easily 12 feet wide and maybe over
100 feet tall spread out their thick branches
like huge awnings catching the moonlight and
plunging the woods into a deep shadow.
There is no breeze, the trees do not sway and
the air is thick with a damp smell of the
undergrowth. A chill runs down your spine as
the long howl of a wolf splits the silence of the
trees.
16. The Bubbling Brewhouse
Located on an eastern side street off the town
square stands the small cottage like shop
known locally as the Witches Brewhouse. To
the local residents, the Brewhouse is the
source off manner of concoctions, potions,
poisons and foreign ingredients used in many
horrific professions. The shopfront often has a
bustling trade of goods during its regular
opening hours. The shop itself is run by the
Alabaster Witch sisters. A trio of sisters who
also just happen to be witches. The Witch
sisters on their own aren’t particularly
powerful, but each specializes in a specific
field. When working together however the
witches become a dangerous force not to be
reckoned with. The Alabaster Witch Sisters
make up one of the possible horrors that the
characters may need to face in order to
acquire another.
The warped and oddly shaped cottage sat
nestled alongside the cobblestone road. A
multitude of small twisted chimneys poke
above the rooftop, each softly billowing
plumes of smoke of an assortment of colours.
A small neatly swept path leads up to the
rotund door at the front of the cottage. A
darkened window sits offset to the door with
golden lettering attached to the glass panes.
“The Witches Brewhouse” is spelled out in a
lopsided arc.

17. Lorne’s Tomb
Hallowgrave itself has existed for an untold
age, perhaps before the dead had even begun
to walk or the graves had filled the cemetery.
It is common knowledge to the residents
however that the oldest grave in all of
Hallowgrave belongs to a being known as
Lorne. His mausoleum like tomb stands higher
and wider than any other grave in the realm.
None know whom built it or why it was so
grandly constructed. Lorne’s Tomb is located
just south of the town square overlooking the
Hallowgrave cemetery in its grizzly splendour.
The tomb itself has never been opened, but it
is the residence of Lorne whom is in fact a
living embalmed Mummy. Lorne is one of the
potential horrors that the characters may face
in their quest to locate the ciphers.
The smooth slated stone of the once
intricately carved tomb entrance had fallen
into disrepair and become eroded and brittle
with age. The crumbling roof is shaky and
barely held aloft by the six cracked stone
pillars that formed the walkway to the tomb
door. The air around the tomb is dry and
dusty as decades of dust is disturbed under
your footsteps. The door to the tomb, once a
beautiful mosaic of stone and glass now
stands as a firm blockade of cold unadorned
stone, serving as a reminder to all, that
nothing can stand the tests of time.
18. The Hallowgrave West Wing
In the sparse area to the east of the
Hallowgrave town square lies an expansive
network of buildings, spires, offices and wards
that belong to the Hallowgrave hospital. Even
the horrors of the night need to stay healthy
and fit for the next delightful fright. The
hospital itself is equipped with the most
professional of staff and the latest of horrific
equipment for all your needs. The hospital
itself is broken into several wards or wings
with different caretakers managing the
operations of each department. At this time
16 | P a g e
only the West Wing is available for access.
Others may become accessible in later
updates. The west Wing is home to a skilled
and dangerous physician known as Orisa, the
Blood Curdler. She is one of the Horrors of
Hallowgrave and the characters may need to
face her diabolic form of healthcare to acquire
another lost cipher.
township. It almost looked like a regular toy
shop if it weren’t for the manor of slightly
creepy bobble heads lining the front display
window. Looking closely at the bobble heads
in the window you notice that as you move,
some of the bobble heads turn to face your
ever slightly. Slight chills run down your spine

The white washed doors of the building

seemed eerily clean compared to the rest of
the town. An unnaturally white light filtered
through the glass window panes. The slight
smell of chemicals fills your nose as you
approach. The green street lamp light flickers
upon the letters of the sign arched above the
door labelled the building as “West Wing”. A
small Bronze plaque beside the door spelled
out the name of the proprietor of the west
wing “Dr. Orisa”.

19. The Bobble Head Collector

The Bobble head Collector is a local private
specialist found to the south of the town
square. The owner is a devout collector of
rare and unique bobble heads and other small
collectible items and trinkets. The collector
never reveals their true identity but one can
assume they are a humanoid of some
description who is always wearing a long black
cloak and a twisted mask covered in blue
eyes. The owner speaks in excited whispers
and is polite with his business. He collects
bobble heads as more of a long passion rather
than a hobby. Beyond this he won’t reveal
why he collects them or so many of them. The
Bobble Head collector is another small
specialist market available to the players to
spend their Candy Corn. This market is basic
at the moment and is intended to be
expanded upon in a future update that will tie
into the greater world of Hallowgrave.

The small humble shopfront of the collector

almost stood out of place amongst the
grizzled buildings of the Hallowgrave

Hallowgrave Horrors
Hallowgrave’s most notorious and dangerous
beings are the only ones worthy of protecting
these special ciphers. Even the monsters of
the night won’t stray too close to these true
horrors and it would be wise if you took care
when facing them too. Stat blacks are located
at the end of the document
Agatha, the Mad Maiden
Agatha also known as the Mad Maiden is a
rather frightful woman. Even many of the
more terrifying creatures of Hallowgrave
choose to avoid her if possible. She is an
exceptionally vain creature whom delights in
her own beauty, even if this beauty is
misguided and twisted in her mind. Agatha
can always be found residing in the old church
in the western part of Hallowgrave.
The heavy doors creeks open loudly into the
silence of the church. The old church is rather
run down and a fine layer of dust covers
everything. The interior is mostly cold grey
stone and carved archways supporting the
ceiling. But where rows of pews would have
been sits numerous lines of tall unidentified
objects draped with heavy cloth. They are
arranged in a circular pattern facing toward
the centre floor of the church. The church
walls have many dirty stained glass windows
that have been smashed or shattered allowing
bright rays of moonlight to spread across the
floor.
If the party removes any of the cloths seated
over these objects they will immediately
recognize these objects as large high quality
mirrors. Agatha in her rampart vanity has
collected these mirrors so that she can bath in
her own beauty but because of her true
nature and delirium she has covered them so
she cannot see her true self.
Introduction
Seemingly out of nowhere whispers a
woman’s tender voice. “Oh my how delightful,
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
I have guests. Tell me what kind of men are
you? The kind who come to revel in my beauty
or have you come to profess your love and ask
my hand in marriage? I must warn you though
please, do not displease me fair gentleman I
am a fragile woman after all.”
Appearing out of nowhere, weaving in and
amongst the covered mirrors like a ghost, she
is clearly a thin elegant woman in what once
would have been a white wedding dress. Its
cloth fading to yellow, the edges rotted to
black and patches of deep red splattered
across it. As she turns to face you a growing
sense of fear and dread begins to overcome
you as well as the urgency to throw up. The
woman’s face is pale white, her eyes are
bloodshot red, her lower jaw is missing as if it
had been torn off, open wounds drip black
blood down her neck and a large row of
spiked teeth similar to that of a man eating
worm can be seen lining her exposed and
ghastly throat. This was not a woman of
beauty; this was the pure vanity of a monster.
Personality
Agatha has a rather strange personality. She is
rather courteous and speaks with the tongue
of a noblewoman. She loves compliments and
gifts of a high calibre. However she is very
easily displeased. Should you insult her or
become to careless in your speech or even
reveal your true intentions she will quickly
lose her pleasant demeanour and become
enraged.
Agatha knows about the ciphers and their
purpose but does not like discussing them as
one was a late gift. She does not take kindly to
those poking around for them. Agatha knows
about the layout of Hallowgrave and basic
details about some of the other horrors,
however talking to much about any topic
other than herself quickly bores her, resulting
in her becoming very unhappy.
18 | P a g e
Once Agatha has become bored or enraged
she will immediately enter initiative against
the party.
Mirror Mirror
“So you reveal your true intentions to me, the
real reason you are here. How dare you insult
me so broadly! You’re all just like my husband
caring about other things more than me! He
cared about his mother so much more than
me SO I ATE HIM!!!”
Once Agatha has begun combat with the
characters she will start her attack using the
actions specified in her stat block. Whilst not
overly physically strong, Agatha can present a
high risk to a single target using her devour
ability. Additionally she does not have a large
amount of HP, but she does have resistances
to most forms of standard damage. The
strategy to this fight is not to simply charge in
and maximise the amount of damage done to
her. Instead parties should think carefully and
use her vanity against her.
However at this point she has taken too much
damage and as she claws at her eyes digging
into the hollow sockets, she will slowly but
surely slump into death.
Treasure
Searching Agatha’s corpse will yield the
unique item Agatha’s Wedding Rings, one on
each hand and 500 Candy Corn Pieces.
Players searching the remainder of the church
building will find 2D6 random Candy Corn
Pieces and a small unlocked chest.
The chest contains a bottle of Blood Wine, 20
Candy Corn Pieces, a gear shaped cipher (the
one needed to escape the Hallow), a small
photo album of ‘previous husbands’ and a
humanoid skull covered in small chew marks.

It is entirely possible to finish this fight

without laying a single blade upon Agatha.
She is extremely vain, however it is a false
belief that she has structured in her head. A
mental image of how she once looked before
becoming a monster. This is the key reason all
the mirrors are covered in heavy cloths.
Because she cannot see her true reflection
she can imagine whatever she wants. The
party can use this to their advantage. By
uncovering a mirror and forcing Agatha too
look at her true self they are effectively
dealing a blow to her fragile psyche. She will
take psychic damage as she destroys the
mirror. There are many mirrors within the
fight area to make use of.

If she takes enough damage through the use

of the mirrors, she will eventually be driven
mad enough to scratch out her own eyes in an
attempt to hide the truth from herself.

Alabaster Witch Sisters
Amber, Amethyst and Aqua, the notorious trio
known in Hallowgrave as the Alabaster witch
sisters. The trio of beautiful maidens are in
fact all sisters, and have earned their
nickname due to their unnaturally pure
alabaster coloured skin. The three sisters are
often mistaken for one another, the only
defining difference between the three of
them being their eye colour. Together the
sisters run an elixir shop that specializes in
potions and magical brews and is highly
regarded as the best in the trade. The
Alabaster Witch Sisters can always be found
toiling away in the Bubbling Brewhouse.
The painted green rotund door swings in with
a pleasant jingle as the shop bells chime
above you. The interior looks much like the
shop front you would expect to find. The walls
lined with rows upon rows of locked cabinets
stocked with all manner of potions and elixirs
both known and new to you. In the far end of
the rotund room stands the counter with a
wooden door behind it. The centre of the
room is sparse and contains only a large cast
iron cauldron bubbling softly. A few green
flames seep from beneath it keeping it hot.
The air is filled with the sweet smell of
lavender and maybe something else.
The potion cabinets are locked to deter theft
of their products. If any of the sisters catch a
character attempting to break open or steal
any merchandise it will initiate immediate
combat as the sisters punish the would be
thieves. William knows of the witch sisters,
proclaiming that they make some mighty fine
brews that he loved to drink when he was
younger.
Introduction
The door behind the counter creaks,
prompting you to turn towards the noise.
From the depths within steps out three pale
skinned, tall, slender, but beautiful women
dressed in long wispy billowing black robes.
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
Each wore a curved pointed hat with a wide
brim that from behind fell their long plaited
hair. Each was dressed identically to the
others. Astonishingly the three women
physically look near identical to one another.
The only means of telling them apart you
notice is their eyes, one soft yellow, another
deep violet and another light blue.
The three woman all smile at you in eerie
unison before individually making a small
curtsey, their eyes always directed at the
same person when looking around the room.
“Welcome to the Bubbling Brewhouse, the
finest brewer of elixirs in the realm and
beyond. Be it greed, lust, pride or envy we
cater to all your needs”.
They spoke in a perfect unison of soft voices.
“I am Amber, I am Amethyst, and I am Aqua.
How may we be of service to you this
evening?”
Personality
The witch sisters have an odd relationship.
Since a young age despite being three
powerful and independent witches, the sisters
have practically operated as a single person.
Each of the sisters represents a source of
different power that makes up their combined
prowess. They always speak in unison, even
when speaking to one another, it is unknown
if they possess some form of telepathy or if
somehow they have a hive intelligence that
allows them to do so consistently.
The sisters will act cordially and pleasantly to
their customers no matter how gruesome
they may be. They are often unfazed by the
horrors of Hallowgrave. Their expression
doesn’t really change, unless they become
infuriated. They will retain their small smiles
and pleasant demeanour otherwise. The
sisters will do their best to aid the characters
with their enquiries into their elixirs and
practices, as they are running a business.
Talking of the cipher however might put the
sisters on edge as it is a valuable resource that
20 | P a g e
they use to fuel their potion making services.
The cipher is actually hidden inside the
bubbling cauldron.
The witch sisters have had dealings with many
of the other Hallowgrave horrors and seem to
know the location of all of them, often making
deliveries to their residences. The sisters
won’t divulge too much information about the
horrors due to client confidentiality.
Bubble and Trouble
“You won’t take it from us, it belongs to us,
the prime evil gave it to us, and it is our right,
our purpose! We will wash your filthy hands
from this sacred place through the tradition of
pain!! You will BURN, you will FREEZE, and you
will be ELECTRIFIED by our own hands!
If the encounter results in a fight then the
characters must be prepared to take on 3
dangerous foes in a confined space. The
alabaster witch sisters operate on the same
initiative as a group, but each has her own
stat block, abilities and actions. Each sister will
make actions independently each turn that
makes for a devastating round of attacks.
Individually the sisters do not have a lot of HP
or high defence, this makes them vulnerable
in one on one fights. But together if they are
able to get the chance their combined attacks
can be devastating to behold especially for
grouped enemies caught unaware by their
different magic.
Each sister makes use of a different element
of magic for their attacks. Amber makes use
of fire magic, Amethyst wields the power of
lightning and Aqua freezes her enemies with
cold based magic. This multitude of varied
attack elements can make it difficult to fully
defend against. The sisters always operate as
a group never travelling far from one another
willingly. Their magic is at its strongest when
they are together, especially for their sisters

three ability which can inflict huge amounts of
damage in a large area.
During the fight with the sisters the shop and
the majority of the potions and contents
within the cabinets will be destroyed due to
the immense power being unleashed leaving
nothing to be salvaged. This is useful to avoid
the characters from becoming too rich or too
overpowered with potions etc. The sisters will
become increasingly aggravated as one by
one they fall eventually losing all reasoning as
they attempt to revenge their sisters.
Treasure
Searching the three sisters will yield three
unique items, the Amber Witches Hat, the
Amethyst Witches Hat and the Aqua Witches
Hat in addition to a combined total of 500
Candy Corn Pieces.
Players may find the gear shaped cipher in
the cauldron if it was tipped over during the
fight. If they search thoroughly they will also
find it in the base of the cauldron by looking
into its murky liquid and see the shiny metal
in the bottom.
Players may search the shop for anything else
useable. They may find 45 CCP in the cash
register, 2D4 Bottles of non-broken Blood
Wine and a smashed portrait frame depicting
the sisters in their youth, noticeably part of
the picture is missing.

Asteroth’s Tree
The great arch demon Asteroth was a local
celebrity amongst the evils of Hallowgrave
back in his prime. He had gained himself a
reputation as a ruthless general with a savage
hunger for war and blood. Asteroth is even
mentioned in mortal records in the other
realms as his tyranny and conquest spilled out
from his own realm into others. Alas his reign
was not to last, betrayed by his own wife on
the eve of their anniversary, Asteroth found a
sword through his heart and an end to his life.
But the rage of Asteroth burned even stronger
in death as his body lay slumped against a
small sapling in the park. Asteroth can no
longer be found, but his grave can be found at
the base of the great tree at the town park.
A great withered tree stands before you, its
limbs naked of leaves as the bare tree creaks
and sways in the breeze. A small plaque at the
base reads “Asteroth’s Tree”. A simple yet
grim reminder that this is where the feared
horror met his untimely demise.
Something about the tree makes you uneasy.
The rest of the park is luscious green, well-
kept and alive. But this tree stands alone and
decaying despite its size towering over the
others.
Asking William or another appropriate NPC
who knowns the whereabouts of the ciphers
doesn’t know that the tree is the one in
possession of the cipher. They only know that
Asteroth had it with him when he died and
they can only assume it was still with his
corpse.
Introduction
Asteroth is indeed dead however his rage and
bloodlust have lived on in the growing sapling
that consumed his body for nourishment as
his body decayed at its base. The tree in fact
became a Jubokko, a vampiric tree that
sprouts often on battlefields, drinking in the
fallen creature’s blood for nutrients. This
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
process is long and slowly twists and warps
the tree from the inside creating a thirst for
blood as a food source. Asteroth’s Tree is very
much alive and waits patiently for its next
victim.
It is impossible to tell that the tree is alive
while it is motionless. Touching or harming
the tree will instigate an immediate response
and begin initiative. If the characters do not
bother the tree or are taking too long, it may
be wise to have the tree sense their fresh
blood and attack them with a surprise round.
Tree Personality?
Asteroth’s Tree is a mindless being and
doesn’t have a mental personality. It does
however attack forcefully and recklessly,
driven by its own hunger. Without sources of
fresh nutrients wandering past, a Jubokko will
wither into a death like state as it hibernates
while waiting for its next meal.
For obvious reasons there is no simple way to
pacify Asteroth’s Tree in a diplomatic way.
Blood Roots
Asteroth’s Tree will continue to fight until it is
finally hacked down by the characters. It
should be noted that when the tree is inflicted
damage it does indeed bleed from its wounds.
The tree cannot move but offers devastating
melee attacks and some reach. The simplest
way to defeat this horror is to pick it off from
range with magic or burn it all down.
Once the tree is finally defeated it will slowly
uproot as the whole trunk falls over, revealing
a small space beneath the tree.
As the great tree fells and tears its dead roots
from the ground it reveals a small space
beneath where it sat. Looking into this space
one can see what could only be the skeletal
remains of the great demon Asteroth, half
buried in the damp soil that once sustained
the young sapling before Asteroth’s blood
cursed it.
22 | P a g e
Treasure
The felled tree can be looted. The local
delicacy of blood wine is actually made from
aged Jubokko blood. Players may gather 1D6
Bottles of blood wine from the felled tree.

Players may collect the wood and lumber

from the tree if they wish, however it is
nothing special aside from the very noticeable
fact that the timber bleeds.

In the small space beneath the felled tree

characters may find 500 Candy Corn Pieces, a
gear shaped cipher and the unique item
Asteroth’s Betrayal.

Characters may also search the remainder of

the park for any additional items. Searching
may yield 2D6 Candy corn pieces and some
old bat jerky.

Laciana, the Spider Queen
Laciana, the Spider Queen or also known as
the mother of spiders to some is a woman
who commands terrifying respect from her
subjects. She is a creature of cunning matched
by no other. Her strikes are true and her love
for her hatchlings rivals that of obsession. The
spider queen is content to stay out of the
spotlight of Hallowgrave, preferring to pull the
strings of politics and relations from behind
the scenes with her web of deceit and lies. It
is known to many that Laciana is an ancient
and powerful Jorogumo and is capable of
taking the form of a beautiful woman at will.
Often in her time she would take this form in
order to lure unsuspecting men to their
doom. Laciana can always be found in the old
cellar surrounded by her webs.
The old door swings open without making a
sound. A cold stone stairway leads deep
under the buildings around you. Your
footsteps echo in the silence. The only other
sound breaking the silence is the occasional
scuttling of something small hidden in the
darkness. After descending for some time the
air has become cool and damp. Another door
stands before you. It is difficult to open.
Pulling the door open and stepping into the
room reveals what looks like a nest. A nest
made of webs strung from every column to
every corner. This was the home of a spider
there is no mistaking it.
Laciana makes her nest at the base of the
cellar beneath the town of Hallowgrave and
has for quite some time now. She finds it a
perfect place to raise her children. Characters
should mind their step lest the crush one of
her eggs beneath their foot.
Introduction
Moving you way into the nest, a small swath
of light can be seen among a long mound of
pristine web. Atop this web lays an attractive
woman draped in a simple gown. She already
knows you are here, her eyes watch you

unwaveringly.
“Come closer my dears, there is no need to
brandish your weapons, I mean you no harm. I
am but a humble mother looking after her
kin”.
“However creatures rarely come here, let
alone mortals how intriguing. A gather it is the
cipher to William’s gate that has brought you
here?”
“Here as a gift from a queen you may take it,
it serves no purpose to me and I am feeling
dreadfully exhausted”. “Would you be so kind
to close the door on the way out, it creates a
terrible draft down here”.
True to her word Laciana will give you the
cipher as simply as that. But to any character
who wishes to do an insight check can tell that
she is hiding something. No one has been
willing to give up the ciphers so easily before
now.
Laciana is definitely up to something. If the
characters attempt to leave now they will
discover that the door is already closed and
locked firmly. Upon this discovery Laciana will
sneak up behind the characters and attempt
to bind them in web for her midnight meal.
She will transform into her oversized spider
form before attempting a surprise round.
This will now instigate initiative after her
surprise round.
Personality
Laciana is a fearful creature, not just because
of her fearsome strength and nasty abilities
but also because of how intelligent she is.
There are many cunning creatures in the
Hallow and Laciana has outsmarted most of
them, ensuring her reign as the spider queen
goes unchallenged so that her young may
spread throughout the realms. Laciana is not a
picky eater, although she does like to keep
creatures living for a few days after binding
them in her silken thread. It is possible to
convince her to let you go freely, however it
24 | P a g e
will take some excellent convincing and
deception to do so. She does not like to pass
up a free meal for herself nor her children.

Eight Legged
Laciana will engage pre-emptively with her
webs attempting to restrain characters quick
as possible to make them easier targets later
on. If she is in trouble she will use her spider
eggs to attempt to even the battle field.
Unlike some other bosses she will not attempt
to flee when her life is in danger, she will fight
to the bitter end.

Upon drawing her final breath, all the little

spiderlings will crawl to her body and begin to
eat it slowly. A queen provides for her
subjects even in death.

The players had best not stick around for too

long lest they become the next target for
another spider’s meal. There are a lot of
hungry little mouths to feed.

Treasure
Characters game enough to brush aside the
swarm of spiders may search Laciana’s body.
Doing so will reveal 500 Candy Corn Pieces
and the unique item Mothers Mockingbird. If
she hasn’t already given the players the cipher
she will also be carrying the gear shaped
cipher.

Players may also search the webbed cellar if

they like revealing some bat jerky, 1D6 Candy
Corn pieces and a bottle of blood wine.

Players daring enough may steal a spider egg

either for profit or a possible companion.

Additionally players may cut down some of

the web resulting in the Spider Thread Rope
Item described in the later item descriptions.

Lazarak, the Pumpkin King
Lazarak the grower of pumpkins or as he likes
to refer to himself the pumpkin king is a
horror in his own right. Lazarak is a by-
product of a mad scientist raving mad attempt
to splice genes into pumpkins to win the town
harvest festivals largest pumpkin award.
Needless to say the experiment went horribly
wrong and Lazarak was born. A self-aware and
self-righteous pumpkin the size of a small
house was born. After devouring the house
and the scientist along with it Lazarak
remained at his birthplace to watch over the
future generations of his younglings so that
they would not meet the same fate as he.
Lazarak is one of the potential horrors who
own one of the ciphers needed to unlock the
gate back to the mortal realms. Lazarak is
unable to move and resides at the pumpkin
patch on the southern outskirts of town.
On the outskirts of Hallowgrave where houses
a few and far between, you come across a low
lying wall circled around a wide hill. On the
other side of this wall lay hundreds upon
hundreds of large bright orange pumpkins
ripe for picking.
A small rusted gate is wedged between the
edges of the wall. A small overgrown path
leads up to the peak of the pumpkin covered
hill.
Atop the hill in the shadowy moonlight rests
some large green leaves soaking up the
moonlight.
Introduction
Lazarak is an enormous pumpkin monster and
as such is unable to move from his roots.
Beneath the leaves at the crest of the hill is
where he resides.
As you follow the overgrown path up the hill
you can begin to full appreciate the size of the
leaves ahead of you. Each one easily the size
of a bedsheet of not bigger. A strong earth
smell invades your nostrils.
As you step onto the crest of this leafy hill a
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
soft rumbling can be heard from beneath your
feet. Looking past the leaves you see an
enormous living pumpkin resting amongst the
leaves. It was a mottled orange colour with a
huge grizzly face carved into its side. The
creature of sorts appears to be asleep. The
loud rumbling caused by its deep breaths as it
slumbered in the moonlight.
Embedded in the monstrosities forehead
glinted something silver in the moonlight. It
looked oddly like a gear.
Lazarak is undoubtedly sleeping and
embedded in his forehead is the cipher the
characters need to activate Williams’s gate. At
this point the characters can attempt to
stealthily steal the cipher from Lazarak if they
wish. His size can be quite intimidating and
avoiding combat may work to the characters
advantage if they have engaged in lots of
combat so far.
Personality
Lazarak is an oversized sentient pumpkin and
has the ego to go with it. Inheriting his
creator’s passion for growing the best
pumpkins in all the Hallow he strives day and
night to grow the ultimate pumpkin of
perfection, albeit by more natural means than
his predecessor. Lazarak takes a more natural
approach to life and often sounds like a
druidic sage as he rambles on with the beauty
of natural life. It would not be wise for anyone
to point out that he is in fact not a product of
natural life. He speaks in a booming voice and
is actually quite light-hearted.
Lazarak knows little about the other horrors
of Hallowgrave or the ciphers. He doesn’t
really even notice the one stuck in his
forehead. It is possible that his creator was
the original horror entrusted with the cipher.
Lazarak has little need of gold or items. He
cares only for his pumpkin patch. He is
however willing to sell his pumpkins for a
hefty fee. He eats and Candy corn he is given.
26 | P a g e
Pumpkin Smash
Lazarak’s perception isn’t the highest so it
may be possible for the characters to steal the
cipher. If the characters wish to attempt this
course of action then they must compare the
stealth rolls against Lazarak’s passive
perception when he is sleeping. Additionally
the cipher is stuck in his forehead and
requires a DC18 Strength check to pull out. 3
failed checks will result in Lazarak waking up.
If Lazarak is woken up he will converse with
the characters assuming they are there to
observe his majestic pumpkin patch.
“Ugggghhhhh. Who dares stand before the
pumpkin king as he slumbers on this fine
moonlit night! I should have your head knave
for your rudeness. Have you no shame as to
watch one sleep?”
guerrilla tactics during the fight to wear him
down slowly.
Treasure
Players whom wish to search the pumpkin
patch will find themselves in the possession of
as many pumpkins as he or she can carry.
Additionally players may also find 1D4
Pumpkin Seeds, 4D6 Candy Corn Pieces and
1D4 Pumpkin Bombs. A high level search will
also yield the unique item Squashling.
When Lazarak is defeated players may search
his body or eat it if they really wish. Searching
his body will yield 500 Candy Corn Pieces, a
gear like cipher if it hasn’t already been
claimed and the unique item Pumpkin Heart.

The giant pumpkin rears its enormous orange

head. Its eyes alive with a bright orange glow
and a jagged line of teeth sprouting from its
jaw.

“Well seeing as you have travelled all this way

to my humble domain allows me to introduce
myself. I am Lazarak, King of the Pumpkin
Patch! And now that we are properly
acquainted you have my audience! What can
this gracious king assist the commoners with
today?”

Players may choose to attempt and bargain

with Lazarak or to engage in combat. If
Lazarak is insulted or if the players happen to
anger him in some way or hurt his pumpkins
then they will feel his wrath beginning the
combat encounter.

Combat with Lazarak can be a lengthy task

due to the nature of the combat area and
Lazarak’s area of effect attacks that can cause
lots of damage quickly. The advantage is that
Lazarak is unable to move from his rooted
spot giving the players a chance to use

Lisbeth, the Temptress
Lisbeth is an otherworldly beauty whom is
known to all creatures of Hallow as being a
flirtatious and extremely friendly being. None
would dare make enemies of her lest they
lose any advantages she might provide to
them. Lisbeth uses her charm and wiles to her
advantage to manipulate others as though it
were her given right. Lisbeth can always be
found in her manor atop the hill just outside
of town.
The manor is quite large up close. It is
impossible to see through the windows and
there is only one visible entrance. A large
silver leaf ornate door stands at the front of
the building. It beckons you forward as you
turn the large handle, it is not locked. The
door glides silently inward. A sweet smell
wafts from inside the doorway, a downward
staircase leads forward into the darkness. The
staircase leads downward and ends abruptly
at another door. Opening the second door it
swings in smoothly and opens out into a large
well lit room. Small braziers with glowing fire
light the room. The sweet smell is ever strong
in here. The room is filled with piles of
cushions and assorted stuffed animals. You
cannot see any other doors leaving this room.
This area, in which you have been
inadvertently lead to, is Lisbeth’s playroom
where she entertains her various guests in
whatever twisted manipulative ways she
desires.
Introduction
“Oooooohhh more pets for me to play with, I
do hope we’ll have a good time.”
Sitting on the rafters above you, you do in fact
see the figure of a rather beautiful scantily
clad woman. A small leathery tail swishes
behind her, small twisted horns curl out of her
forehead and velvet leathery wings protrude
from her back. She looks at you all and smiles
devilishly.
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
“I suppose if you want a name, you may call
me Lisbeth if you like, at least, when I let you.”
Her tail swishes back and forth like a cat. “Is
this what you’re looking for?” She holds up a
rather familiar looking cog shaped item. “I’ll
tell you what, if you play with me, I’ll let you
have it free of charge”.
Regardless of whether the characters accept
or decline, the door closes firmly behind them
and cannot be opened until after the
encounter. Lisbeth will instigate combat by
flying down to the nearest character and
getting a short bonus round to use her
seductive strike ability in an attempt to charm
one of the characters.
Personality
Lisbeth is cunning, wily and beautiful. She
knows that she can use her many assets to
her advantage and has no reservations doing
so. Her knowledge about Hallowgrave, the
ciphers and the other horrors is vast and
extensive; however she will not willingly nor
voluntarily share any of this information.
Lisbeth talks in a courteous but seductive
manor, conversing with her for too long will
slowly coerce characters into believing or
agreeing anything she says. Lisbeth is playful
and enjoys being entertained by her visitors;
however her form of entertainment is a little
sadistic.
The Playroom
Lisbeth is a relatively weak individual. What
she lacks in brute strength or stamina
however she makes up for in cunning. This
mainly comes in the form of charming
members of the party in order to have them
do the majority of the fighting for her. In
order to break the charm effect Lisbeth has on
the character, payers must defeat Lisbeth or
render their companion unconscious.
Characters will need to juggle fighting their
companion and fighting Lisbeth at the same
28 | P a g e
time. Beyond this mechanic the fight is
straight forward.

If the characters reduce Lisbeth’s hit points to

a critical level below 5 remaining points, she
will immediately disengage and fly up
amongst the rafters clearly distressed. She will
attempt to bargain with the characters to
spare her life. If they choose to spare her life
she will drop 500 Candy Corn pieces, the gear
shaped cipher and the unique item Horny
Devil, which is fact, one of her own horns. This
magic item can only be obtained by letting
Lisbeth go. After this she will promptly
disappear through a hidden exit and the door
into the playroom will reopen.

In the event that the players decide not to let

Lisbeth leave quietly, they will be able to
search her corpse. Searching her will yield,
500 Candy Corn pieces, the gear shaped
cipher and Lisbeth’s Lucky Charm. This magic
item can only be acquired by killing Lisbeth.

Treasure
In addition to the items the characters can
acquire by letting Lisbeth go freely, they may
search the playroom for additional goods.

Searching the room will yield, 5D6 additional

Candy Corn Pieces, a bottle of Blood Wine,
1D4 Death Sticks and the unique item clearly
labelled Only Friend.

Lord Lichtenstein
Lord Lichtenstein, the self-elected mayor and
resident professor or the arcane arts of
Hallowgrave. There is a fine line between
genius and madness and Lichtenstein leaps far
clear of that line right to the top and his ever
increasing knowledge expands on a day to day
basis. By day he attends to political matters
such as councils with the wolves and ensuring
that there is a good supply of blood trade for
the vampires. By night however he retreats
into his laboratory where he concocts all
manner of foul monstrosities in his attempt to
create the ultimate horror. He is rather skilled
with alchemy and has been known to cause a
few minor plagues in his time.
Lord Lichtenstein can always be found at the
top of his tower in his makeshift laboratory.
Making your way to the base of the tower,
you see that it is surrounded by yet another
stone wall with twisted metal spikes on top.
At the front stand two tall pillars with a rusty
metal gateway between them. Hangings from
the gate are two skeletons chained there until
death it would seem. The right hand pillar
appears to have a small box about head
height with a skeletal hand sticking out of it.
Pulling the hand will cause a magical scream
to occur. A few moments later the rusty gates
will magically open for you letting you pass
freely through the overgrown garden to the
base of the dark tower. The door at the base
of the tower is already open awaiting your
arrival.
The Tower
Lichtenstein’s tower is separated into 2 floors,
the base living floor and the upper laboratory
floor. The only way to ascend this tower from
the inside is to use the lift present at the base.
Entering into the base of the tour is a well-lit
circular room. The opposite wall appears to be
a kitchen and dining area. The wall to the left
is a small living area with a few sturdy looking
bookcases. In the centre of the room is a

rustic brass elevator cage forming the
standing space. The elevator looks relatively
sturdy and well used.
The lift is operated by a simple lever. Using
the lift poses no risk when used. It can fit 6
medium sized humanoids in it and faction
normally. Going over the weight limit will
cause the system to struggle and possibly
break.
The Laboratory
The laboratory level is where Lord
Lichtenstein and his pet Fletcher reside and
where the encounter will take place.
You are met with warm light in a well-lit
circular room. The far edge of the room has a
raised portion with a short stair case either
side, sporting a balcony that looks over the
rest of the room. The walls of the room are
lined with all kinds of alchemical potions,
equipment and experiments. The floor in the
centre of the room is remarkably bear though.
As the party attempts to step forward, a loud
slow clapping can be heard.
“Bravo, bravo heroes, no one has made it this
far since before I can remember. It is rather
unfortunate, had I known we were having
guests I would have had Fletcher prepare us
some light refreshments.”
Coming into view high up on the balcony is a
light purple skinned elven looking man with
long silver hair tied behind him, circular
spectacles adorn his face ad a long thin
moustache bristles from his face. It would
appear that this man is Lord Lichtenstein.
“However dawn draws near, and as it would
seem your timing could not have been more
perfect, I’ve wanted to test out my new
experiments for a while now. And you

Lorne, of the Tomb
Lorne is possibly the oldest resident in all of
Hallowgrave. Some say he is the first human
to die, others think he was cursed to live a life
of un-death and some believe he is the
incarnation of a risen deity. But the only
answer Lorne would ever give, is that he was
just down right unlucky. Wrong place, at the
wrong time. Long before there was a town or
even a cemetery, Lorne’s tomb stood as a
solitary reminder that even in death you can
still have a nice place to sleep. Although what
once was a stunning tomb fit for a king, is now
a dusty ruin of its once former splendour.
It also seems that the sole proprietor of this
tomb hasn’t been seen in many a moon. This
rumour seems to have some of the local
residents on edge, does this mean that there
is a death even after death, or is something
far more sinister occurring within the cursed
grounds of Hallowgrave?
Lorne can always be found inside his own
tomb just north of the Hallowgrave cemetery.
Broken glass and tile from the fallen mosaic
crack underfoot as you tentatively step
forward towards the tomb door. The air
surrounding the tomb is still and dry. In the
distance you can hear a crow squawking in
deathly mockery.
Observing the tomb door there is no obvious
way of opening it from this side. The smooth
stone is etched and riddled with small cracks
and patches of plaster from the mosaic.
Looking down at the crumbled mess under
your feet you are unable to make any sense of
what it used to look like.
Despite the door appearing to be difficult to
open, it is in fact rather easy. Knocking loudly
on the tomb will cause Lorne to open the door
from the inside to yell at the young whipper
snappers for disturbing him. If the players are
having difficulty with deciding what to do you
may add the following as a plot hook.
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
Slowly the darkness is faded by the bright
light of the grizzly full moon as it returns to
the sky from behind a dark cloud. Streaks of
moonlight fall around the ruins of the tomb,
illuminating its surfaces, including the door.
As the moonlight shines on its haphazard
surface a vibrantly coloured message begins
to appear before your eyes.
“DON’T KNOCK!!! I AM NOT HOME!!!” is
hastily scrawled in the luminescent ink.
Introduction
After the characters have knocked on the
door a few precious seconds will pass before
they can begin to hear a soft tapping noise
that is steadily growing louder. It seems to be
coming from the door.
A faint tapping noise, like something stamping
on stone can be heard steadily growing
louder. It echoes through the unseen edges of
the door. Suddenly the noise stops and for a
few seconds there is complete silence before
a loud cracking noise ripples through the
ruins. Dust is disturbed and shaken loose from
all around the seals of the tomb door. Slowly
with a loud grating noise of stone sliding on
the stone the tomb door swings outwards
towards you. Within the dark portal created
by the opening door a shadowy figure stands.
“Hoooowwww many times must I tell you
darn whipper snappers to stop knocking on
my door!!! I ain’t trick nor trickin you no more
dangnamit!!!”
From the shadows hobbles what appears to
be an extremely aged man with sunken eyes
and loose flappy skin around his face. His thin
and frail body is hunched over as he leans on
a sturdy wooden cane for support. In place of
clothes he is wrapped in a multitude of
yellowing and stained bandages from his feet
to his neck and down his arms.
“You have disturbed the dead and that is
unacceptable! Now I am gonna give you little
punks your last warning, leave now and don’t
come back or I’ll give you a good smackin!!”
32 | P a g e
Personality
In a nutshell if one were to describe Lorne in a
single word it would be, Senile. Lorne has
been around long before the town of
Hallowgrave was established and has the
demeanour to show for it. He is old, gets
snappy quickly, doesn’t like it when people
talk back, likes his peace and quiet and has a
passion for yoga as he thinks it keeps him in
top shape. The reason for Lorne’s
disappearance wasn’t anything drastic, he
simply scared off all the people that used to
visit him in the dead of night and has spent
the past 100 years living peacefully in the
solitude of his tomb.
Most inhabitants of Hallowgrave know about
Lorne and who he is but nothing about his
past aside from rumours and speculation. He
keeps mostly to himself and tends to avoid
answering questions about himself
proclaiming that people are invading his
privacy. All that can be known is that Lorne is
older than old and the knowledge and
experience he must have to last this long,
must be something precious indeed.
Lorne knowns just about everything there is
to know about the other Horrors of
Hallowgrave and the ciphers and the inner
workings of Hallowgrave. However he is not
inclined to provide information to people who
have disturbed his rest.
Mummy’s Got Moves
Talking your way through this encounter is
very difficult, Lorne sees small talk as wasting
his time and has no respect for showmanship.
It makes it more difficult in that the cipher is
embedded into the front of Lorne’s rib cage
beneath the bandages.
“I see you are still on my porch! Very well I
warned you pranksters. You better not be
screamin now and take what’s coming cause I
ain’t gonna hold back just cause you a
scrawny youngster! Now let me educate you
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
in the way of the gentleman’s mummy!!!”
For a creature who is in a constant state of
death and lacking any real magical power,
Lorne certainly hits harder than a shrivelled
old walking corpse normally would. Lorne
neither uses flashy attacks or fancy weaponry.
Despite its shrivelled age his body a perfectly
honed weapon of undead steel.
Lorne’s fight encounter is a fairly straight
forward beat down where ganging up on him
or picking him off from range make excellent
strategies. If Lorne is able to single out a
character however, he can unleash a torrent
of pain and damage with his heavy melee
attacks. Lorne also makes up for his lack of
ranged attacks by having a large movement
speed allowing him to dart around the
battlefield closing in the distance on his
enemy. It is advised to have the tank take
point for this fight.
Treasure
If Lorne is defeated in combat his corpse may
be looted yielding 500 Candy Corn Pieces
tucked away inside his lower body frame, the
unique Item Lorne’s Bandages, the unique
item Gentleman’s Cane and a gear shaped
cipher buried into his rib cage. Unfortunately
during the fight Lorne’s tomb door has closed
and is unable to be opened from the outside.
Players may scrounge around the ruins finding

Lucas, of the Waning moon
Lucas of the waning moon, the moonlit hunt,
the night shadow, the dark prowler, the dark
paw and hunter of the moon are just some of
the names that he is known by. Lucas is
Hallowgrave’s resident arch werewolf. He is a
hunter whom prowls the depths of the Half-
Moon Woods in search of unsuspecting prey.
Lucas has the keenest nose in the realm and
can sniff out his prey far into the distance as
they flee. He stalks them from the shadows,
watching and listening for the moment where
he may tear them apart with a powerful
ferocity fit only for an animal. Lucas wasn’t
always living the life of a solitary hunter
trudging the murky swamps of the woods. In
fact he once wasn’t even a werewolf, or a
human for that matter. Lucas was in fact a
pet, a house dog who one night protecting his
mistress was bitten by a werewolf. Through
the infected bite he became part man part
wolf but in this case from the animal side of
the equation. But alas that was many years
ago and once an animal always an animal,

Hallowgrave.
Lucas can always be found stalking the
characters in the depths of the Half-Moon
Woods to the north west of town.
The damp fog seemed to spill onto the ground
from the roots of the enormous trees. It was
knee deep, which made for difficult footing as
you moved through the silence. The
occasional leaf flipped along the wind before
disappearing underfoot into the fog. The air
among the trunks is humid and heavy to
breathe. In the distance you can hear a small
bird chirping before it is violently cut short
mid song in a brutal squawk. Something in this

Lorne is already stalking the characters from
the shadows, who are unaware of his intent.

Introduction
After travelling around in what seems like an
endless maze of the enormous trunks the
players may come to the conclusion they are
lost. Luckily for them Lorne has been
following them the entire time, watching and
waiting. When they stop moving he will take
his chance.
You hear a stick snap somewhere in the
darkness nearby. A chill runs down your spine.
You feel as if something is watching you from
the shadows.
You catch a fount movement from the corner
of your eye. Turning to look you see a swirl of
fog and nothing more. You hear a scrape
against a nearby tree. Surely it’s just your
imagination right, your mind playing tricks on
you in this strange world, it’s just a normal
forest, nothing to fear here.
A fear stirs within you, as you turn to face
your companions. A hulking shadow sprints
on all fours across the clearing. The large furry
beast pounces forward on its powerful hind
legs with wild yellow eyes as it goes for the
throat. A great werewolf of mattered grey fur
leaps before you in the full moonlight.
Personality
Lucas has reverted to his animal instincts after
stalking the woods for so long and as a result
doesn’t talk or really know how to any more.
Anyone who may commune with animals or
speak to animals can converse with him,
albeit jarringly. However his only motive in his
current existence is to hunt. The Half-moon
Woods are his domain and few horrors would
seldom set foot in such a place for any reason,
lest they be mauled by Lucas. Nothing gets in
or out of the woods without him knowing
about it.
It is unknown how Lucas came to live in such a
place as Hallowgrave. Some say that perhaps
it has to do with his owner passing on before
he could. Perhaps something happened
34 | P a g e
during her departure that left him with a deep
regret or burning rage that drove him to be
the monster he is.
One Wolf Pack
Lorne’s encounter will rapidly evolve into a
full blown flight. There is nothing to be gained
by attempting to reason or converse with
Lorne while he is in this state. He has gone
completely feral as can be seen by the
tenacity of his attacks with both his fangs and
his claws as he slashes his way across the
battlefield.
in the back of his drool covered jaw. Players
may also skin and sell his pelt if they wish. The
pent is worth an additional 400 CCP to Skelton
the Merchant or 150 GP in the Mortal Realm.
Players daring enough may attempt to search
parts of the woods for additional treasure if
they wish. They may be able to find 1D4 CCP
and a few scattered bones, but nothing else
due to the fog and swampy undergrowth.

The rippling muscles can be seen stretched

and turn under the lengths of tattered fur and
knots of hair that covered its body as it reared
back standing at full height on its two hind
legs. The sharp yellow eyes glowed under the
full moon light. Fog rolled from its drooling
jaws sporting rows of teeth perfect for
stripping flesh from bone. The creature’s ears
flicked silently back and forth, waiting for you
to make a move and leave yourself
vulnerable. This is the apex predator of the
woods.

Lorne is a ferocious melee fighter who

specializes in mortally wounding his enemies
with claw marks, puncture wounds and other
grizzly injuries that will slow down his prey. He
prefers this method of fighting as he won’t
have to chase down the runners, at least not
too fair. He loves the smell of fresh blood in
the air and it is nigh impossible to hide from
his powerful nose. Characters should take
care to either avoid or try and spread out the
effects of his attacks as over time they can
become quite debilitating and arduous to
continue fighting. Lorne will attempt to
disable all enemies before finishing them off.

Treasure
If Lucas is defeated in combat, his corpse may
be looted yielding 500 Candy Corn Pieces
from his insides, the unique Item Lucas’s
Collar, and a gear shaped cipher found lodged

Oleg, the Butcher
Oleg the butcher is the finest carver of meats
in the whole of Hallowgrave. His name is
known for and wide in the great darkness, for
creatures of veil and beyond come to acquire
his finest of succulent meats. No matter the
cut, no matter the creature, Oleg the butch
shall provide. Oleg is the head butcher and
proprietor of the Hallowgrave butchery
located to the west of the town square. His
residence is located onsite so he is never very
far from his workplace and can be found
easily. Anyone you ask will know where to
find his shop. All his meat is kept nearby in the
Meat Locker, though no adventurer living or
undead should set foot in that place.
There is a tinkle of a shop bell as you open the
door to the strangely normal and pristinely
cleaned butchery shopfront. Looking around it
would appear that they are open yet nobody
greets you. A small counter top with a register
sits opposite the door and a glass case neatly
displaying many odd cuts of meat that you
have never heard of.
A white door behind the counter appears to
be the only other entrance.
Whenever the adventurers arrive at the
butchery Oleg will not be present at the
counter. Oleg will always be in the cool room
out the back butchering his meat
Introduction
Slowly opening the white door you are hit
with a chill of cool air wafting from within this
room. It smells of raw meat and ice.
Hanging from the ceiling hoisted on large
hooks hang unidentifiable carcasses of beasts
and creatures in various states of carving.
A sickening chopping and slicing can be heard
towards the back of the cool room.
Weaving you way into the rear of the room
reveals to you a gruesome sight. An obese
man with stunted facial hair wearing nothing
but a bloodied apron is swinging an enormous
butcher’s knife, easily cleaving the fresh
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
carcase dangling in front of him. It looks
vaguely humanoid.
He speaks in a gruff voice.
“If you’re here to buy me meat then I won’t
be just a moment, if you want something else
then you know where the door is. I’ve got a
busy schedule and still have the deliveries to
run so don’t be wasting my time”.
Personality
Oleg despite his appearance is an obscenely
passionate man. His attention to detail when
carving up carcasses of foul beasts and
everything else in between is often something
to be admired. Of course passion can quite
often lead to obsession and this is true of
Oleg. Oleg has become addicted to the fine
arts of carving meat and rending flesh from
bone and is always looking to further his skills
and keep them sharpened. If you wish to do
business with him and purchase some of his
fine meats then you have no problem. If you
wish to dispose of some interesting meats
then you also will have no problem. Oleg can
turn even the scraps of carcasses into perfect
cuts and his always on the lookout for new
tests of his skill. Tampering with his wares or
insulting him will incur his wrath.
Oleg knows little about the other horrors of
Hallowgrave save they exist and prefers to
keep to himself and his business. Oleg has one
of the needed ciphers and doesn’t really see
the need for it and might be willing to trade
but he can become quite impatient if the
characters take too long to persuade him.
The Cool Room
In the event the characters are unable to
come to an agreement with Oleg, they insult
Oleg or if they decide to throw caution to the
wind and go straight to combat, Oleg will
happily indulge the characters in a brutal
combat.
36 | P a g e
Oleg’s combat encounter is fought in the
confines of the cool room where it is easy to
get cornered by his relentless attacks. The
long straight alleys are perfect for Oleg’s meat
hook making it difficult to dodge before
sweeping with the butcher’s knife. Oleg may
not have fancy attacks or mechanics but when
it comes down to it he can prove to be a
challenging opponent.

Treasure
If Oleg has struck a bargain with the
characters then he will only offer up the
cipher as a reward.

If Oleg is defeated in combat his corpse may

be looted yielding 500 Candy Corn Pieces, the
unique Item the Butcher’s Knife, the unique
item Meat Hook and a gear shaped cipher.

Oleg doesn’t take kindly to people snooping

about his shop or cool room but if players
insist they can search the location.
50 Candy Corn pieces can be found in the
shops till. An assortment of strange meats can
be acquired. Among these strange meats
players may find several servings of bat jerky
and 2 bottles of blood wine.

Orisa, the Blood Curdler
Proprietress and head mistress of the
Hallowgrave West Wing, Orisa is a delicate
handed mother figure to all those who seek
her aid. At least that’s how a horror from
Hallowgrave might describe it. The residents
have another nickname for the West Wing, its
most common nickname, The Blood Bank.
Orisa is one of the few pure-blooded queen
vampires still in existence. It is speculated that
due to her practices here in Hallowgrave she
hasn’t travelled far from home into the lands
wrought with dangerous adventurers. But in
truth it is because she is sadistically insane
and when she sets her blood red eyes on a
meal, they never get away. Skilled with a
scalpel, sharp with a needle, Orisa is the prime
subject for an award winning physician if that
award was for dismembering and drinking the
blood of clients who irritate her. She has a
profound medical knowledge compiling both
the mundane and the worlds of horror that
far exceeds normal standards. This is a result
of years of perfecting her practices on live
corpses. Aside from the grotesque truth she is
the best physician in town, the prices are
good too, she only takes her fees out of your
blood stream.
Orisa can always be found in her office in the
Hallowgrave Hospitals West Wing.
The pristine white halls of the west wing
echoed under your footsteps through the
empty halls. The ghostly lamps in the building
were unnaturally white compared to the
regular murky green lamps. They shone a pale
white light all around leaving no room for
shadows. Even the floors are immaculately
clean without a trace of dirt nor dust with a
hint of chemical smell wafting in the still air.
Trudging down the long halls you spot signs
pointing to various offices. The largest of
these signs directed you to the office of Orisa.
After twisting and turning through the maze
of halls you eventually come to a simple
wooden door with a brass plaque mounted
next to it. Orisa, Licensed Practitioner it read.
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
Orisa is found within her office at all hours of
the night seeing her clients. However the
characters may find it strange that they never
meet any other creatures living or dead when
paying her a visit. They will probably soon
learn why that is.
Introduction
It is up to the characters to decide how they
wish to enter. If they are polite and decide to
knock or call out then Orisa will call out saying
the door is open or please come in. If they
barge in without any concern then she will be
displeased but courteous none the less.
The door opens silently on well-oiled hinges.
Stepping into the large office you are
surprised to see the room look rather normal
at first glance. In the far corner sat a freshly
made examination bed with leather restraints
hanging loosely at the side. A glass medicine
cabinet stands against the wall filled with an
array of grizzly mechanical devices and tools.
The patient chairs sat in front of a heavy
wooden desk stained with what one might
assume is dried blood. Behind the desk
covered in books and notes sits a slender
elegant woman with straight dark hair
wearing a tight fighting nurses scrubs showing
off her figure. She looks at you with deep red
eyes and a blood red smile. The tips of her
fangs are unmistakable amongst her pearl
teeth.
“Welcome to the West Wing my guests. You
may call me Orisa. I will be your physician this
evening. To what may I owe the pleasure of
your visit this fine moonlit night? What ails
you that you must seek me out so urgently?”
She smiles again with a bloodthirsty delight in
her eyes.
Personality
Hallowgrave has no shortage of powerful
Horrors or monsters. But some of the most
dangerous are the ones who don’t look it.
Orisa is a powerful woman and a powerful
vampire. She is one of the few remaining
38 | P a g e
queen vampires not to have been hunted
down in cold blood. From a young age she
was pampered and spoilt being a full-blooded
vampire comes with certain quirks. Quickly
she learnt that the people around her were
merely tools for getting what she wanted.
Alas her hunger could never be sated, the
more blood she drank the more she craved it
like an itch that could never be scratched.
After a tragedy befell her family she was left
as the sole heir to her bloodline. She is
obsessed with the power of blood and seeks
to release herself from her insatiable thirst.
Using her position as the Proprietress of the
West Wing she secretly conducts research
through her patients looking for the key to
unlock her chains and ascend as a new breed
of vampire. She does not get angry easily,
every move she makes is calculated and cold.
As a noble vampire she always retains her
image of flawlessness. Even when staring
down her parents would be slayers, she
simply smiled and slaughtered them all.
Boiling Blood
Orisa recognises that the adventurers are not
from Hallowgrave and has no intention of
letting them leave. Fresh mortal subjects for
her experiments are hard to come by in this
realm. She want’s their blood and she will
take willingly if offered or by force.
her victims. Her sharp yet painful blows
always seem to hit their mark, and what she
lacks in raw strength she makes up for with
her surgical skill. While her attacks may seem
small and easy to withstand, her skill begins to
show the longer the fight goes along, using
her vampiric powers to prolong your suffering
so that the blood stays fresh for as long as
possible. She will attack quickly and try to
restrain you as soon as she can so that she
may drain you at her pleasure. It is best to
avoid her small attacks and take her out as
quickly as possible. A long fight could mean
worse than death.
Treasure
Searching Orisa’s corpse will leave players
with 500 Candy Corn Pieces a set of bloody
scrubs worth nothing and the unique item
Orisa’s Scalpel, one of her weapons of choice.
Players may search her office if they wish.
They will numerous piles of papers and books
detailing the anatomy of many creatures from
many different worlds, a small notebook
detailing her favourite types of blood to drink,
2D6 CCP and the unique item Blood Shunt. At
this time the remainder of the Hallowgrave
hospital is not open and cannot be searched.

“Oh my poor lost souls, that’s what doctors

are here for. To make everything better once
more. It is but a simple procedure, just a small
prick of the needle and all your troubles will
fade from your mind. I will be gentle, you can
trust your doctor, I can guarantee it. Now
show me those soft arteries and let’s get this

Orrick, the Gravedigger
Orrick is a large, simple and untroubled fellow
whom is content with his purpose to dig and
fill the graves of the Hallowgrave Cemetery.
Orrick isn’t the most charismatic of folks and
prefers the company of corpses and the holes
he fills them will all night long rather than
social gatherings with the living. Orrick can
always be found at the Hallowgrave cemetery
on the southern edge of town.
Through the rusty iron gates of the cemetery
is a cold dark place littered with hundreds of
graves, some of them are overgrown, some
cleanly cut and others freshly made. The
graveyard is surrounded by large stone walls
topped with spikes similar to those found in
William’s courtyard. An earthy smell invades
your nostrils, it smells mossy and damp. Just
inside the gate is a fully laden cart. The cart is
filled with bodies wrapped in grubby clothes
and bound with rope, ready to be laid into
freshly made graves.
Into the distance a rattling sound of
something mechanical can be heard.
Characters should be wary when moving
through the graveyard, lest they become
victim of an open grave yet to be filled in.
Players willing do to so may also attempt the
dig up graves and rob them of any valuables
as set out in the treasure sub chapter of
Orrick’s encounter information. The cemetery
is Orrick’s domain and he is highly familiar
with how it should me and knows every grave
here.
Introduction
After venturing further into the cemetery the
characters can catch their first glimpse of
Orrick.
Orrick is a large chubby grotesque man
wearing oversized overalls and some twisted
miner’s helmet with a small green light on the
front. He wears no shirt exposing a grubby
chest. As you move closer you can now
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
determine where the noise and vibrations are
coming from. In Orrick’s hands he is carrying
some description of an oversized mechanical
drill operated by a rotating crank on its left
side. Orrick is drilling out the grave holes using
this unique device. Fixed upon its front is a
gnarly drill piece covered in dirt that could
pierce straight through plate armour. The drill
easily moves the hard ground with little
resistance.
Once the characters move within 50 feet of
Orrick he will cease his digging and turn to
face the trespassers. Even though his
perception is remarkably low, he does sport
50 feet of Tremorsense allowing him to feel
the subtle vibrations of movement around
himself. He will clamber out of his freshest
grave where his full size can now be seen. He
is tall and wide for a man, he sports a rotund
belly covered in grime and dirt. Beneath the
muck long scars can be seen.
Personality
Orrick is not the most intelligent of men,
preferring to content himself with the menial
labours of his beloved cemetery. He speaks in
broken common with a thick blubbery voice
that is sometimes difficult to understand.
Orrick knows little cares less about the other
horrors and going on of Hallowgrave. It is
extremely difficult to reason with Orrick and
he’s not one for negotiating. Orrick sees the
cemetery as his own personal domain and any
who would tamper with that will feel his
wrath. Characters will find that physical
actions are really the ones that will resonate
with Orrick.
Graveyard Rumble
Irritating Orrick or not leaving post haste will
incur his wrath. This will put him straight into
initiative as he blindly attacks the characters.
“Dead bodies don’t walk! Stop walking and
get back in you grave! Licky will be angry at
me if any dead bodies escape again. You no
40 | P a g e
take shiny form me again! I make you not
move ever again!”

Orrick’s combat is very simple. He is a large

slow moving target with a moderate sized
health pool who boasts some devastating
attacks should one get caught in them. His
drill charge ability has the most potential to
do high amounts of damage to multiple
targets. The trick here is to ensure that
players are staggered and spread out so that
he cannot catch more than one victim at a
time. Orrick’s borrowing ability can have its
damage minimised through the same
strategies of not clumping together.
Additionally players need to be wary of the
numerous graves in the area around the fight
area in case they stumble into them.

Aside from these basic strategies, Orrick is a

straight out brawl. Oddly enough once Orrick
is defeated he will stumble around as if dazed.
Eventually he will trip and fall into one of his
freshly dug graves assuming the characters
are still fighting within the cemetery.

Treasure
Searching Orrick’s corpse will leave players
with 500 Candy Corn Pieces, the gear shaped
cipher and the unique item Orrick’s Ghost
Lamp.

Searching the cart of bodies near the entrance

of the Cemetery will yield 2D6 Candy corn
pieces and the unique item the Plague Bearer.

If players wish to dig up some of the graves to

attempt to find some treasure, roll on the
following grave table to see what they find
when they unearth a grave.

The Headless Horseman
The headless horseman is a Dullahan from the
darkest depths of myth and legend. Little is
known about him, but it is said that he only
appears when someone is about to die. The
horseman is always the final best at the end
of this adventure, there is no alternatives. The
horseman will only reveal himself to the party
in the town square after the other 5 ciphers
have been collected. He holds the 6th and final
cipher, there is no way to talk or deceive your
way through this encounter, the horseman
heralds’ only death.
After collecting 5 of the 6 ciphers you return
to the town square. Upon your return a cold
shiver runs down your spine.
Entering into the square you find it to be
devoid of the usual undead life. A thick fog
begins to roll across the cobblestones, and the
moon in all its splendour returns from behind
the clouds.
The silence is split by the familiar sound of
heavy horses hooves on cobble. Entering your
vision of the square from a crooked alleyway
is a most terrifying sight. A tall skeletal steed
easily 20 hands tall with shreds of rotted
fabric draped over its body, magical purple
flames adorning its hooves, tail and mane,
two piercing amethyst eyes seated in hollow
sockets. Atop its back rides a tall shadowy
figure clad in a tattered black cloak. A skeletal
hand holds the reigns to this mighty felsteed.
A long ghastly scythe held aloft in his right
hand. Most terrifying of all, atop this
horseman’s shoulders stands no head. A
primal fear is stirred within you. This is a
creature to be feared.
Personality
The horseman, despite not having a head, is
indeed able to talk, although it’s more of a
loud creepy echo that emanates around you.
There is no right or wrong to the horseman
only his corrupted sense of balance amongst
the order of things. The horseman does not
speak of material things or insight into
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
himself. Talking with others serves only as a
purpose for breaking their minds and souls.
The horseman’s mind is dark and foreboding
and twisted beyond imagine. He is older than
anyone can remember and no one knows
where he came from. He knows many things
that even historians have forgotten and can
see things the gods can’t even comprehend.
The horseman is death incarnate.
“These mortals have trespassed on these
hallowed grounds where only the darkness
may rest. For the crimes committed against
this realm under my protection I shall right the
scales of the light and the dark. These rodents
will now pay the price as offering to thee.
Prepare thy selves mortals for your afterlife a
waits!”
Fright for Your Life
After finishing his small monologue, the
horseman will instigate combat regardless of
whether the players are prepared for combat
or not, the horseman waits for no one.
The horseman is a very tough opponent even
for the most seasoned of players. His single
target attacks are deadly and his area of effect
action can be equally deadly for those caught
unaware.
Once the horseman has been reduced to half
health, on his next turn he will immediately
use his soul reap ability to separate the
characters souls from their bodies. Creatures
dealt damage while under this effect take
additional damage. This final fight can be very
terrifying and difficult.
When the horseman is slain he and his steed
will crumble to ground, the brightly coloured
flames with extinguish and the pile of bones
will dissolve into nothing leaving little but his
tattered cloak and his scythe behind. A cold
echoing laugh will fill the town square before
disappearing into the distance.
42 | P a g e
Treasure
Moving the horseman’s cloak will cause a
scattering of Candy Corn Pieces to drop all
over the ground and a gear shaped cipher.
There is 1000 individual Candy Corn Pieces for
characters to pick up.

The players may also retrieve the unique item

the Horseman’s Scythe and his tattered cloak.

After the encounter characters may free Eve

from the Gallows. When the Horseman is
defeated the chains around Eve lose their
enchantment becoming a regular chain.
Additionally Skelton will resume business as
normal and the local population will take back
to the streets as if nothing has happened.

Fleeing the Hallow
Arriving back into William's courtyard with all
6 ciphers and Eve if the party chose to rescue
her from the gallows, William instructs the
party to insert the cog shaped gears into the
stock mechanism behind them.
Once all six cogs are inserted there is an
ominous clunk as the symbols on the outer
edge of the cogs begin to light up red.
Skelton knows that a password must be
entered correctly using the cogs in order for
the gate back to the realm of the living to be
opened. He gives them the riddle as described
in the description below, but he cannot give
them the answer. The answer is in fact
HALLOW.
If the party asks William about the password
he will simply respond with the following.
“What is that you are afraid of? Where do you
flee, from what is it that you hide. Tell me,
what are you running from?”
Password
The ciphers represent a 6 letter word
combination that when rotated to the correct
letters will unlock the gate and allowing
passage. The correct password is in fact
HALLOW. It should be noted that the first
letter of the true names of each of the
Hallowgrave horrors that own the ciphers that
characters will face each year will always add
up to HALLOW.
For example H for the Headless Horseman, A
for Asteroth’s Tree, L for Lisbeth, L for
Laciana, O for Orrick and W for William.
William is the only not fightable horror of
Hallowgrave and he is always the original
owner of the W cipher as he sold it to Skelton.
Rotating the final cog into the correct symbol
causes an audible clunk. The symbols change
to a bright green colour and begin to clank

loudly as they begin to turn.
A strong magical aura can be felt as two large
blue transparent skeletal hands take form
above the ciphers mechanism. They clasp the
air as if it were a solid mass and with extreme
might physically tear the air between them
creating a rip in space, opening a dark portal.
A strong gust of wind blows into the portal
drawing you near.
Saying their final farewells to William, one by
one the party members may jump through
the portal, once again falling through the
planes of existence.
Hallows Eve
If any party member remains or watches as
Eve attempts to pass through the gate, they
will become immediately aware that no
matter how hard she tries, she cannot pass
through the gate. Before they are given a
chance to ask William, all remaining party
members are swept of their feet by a
powerful wave of shadows throwing them
backwards into the portal. Players may make
a DC15 Dexterity saving throw to cling to the
mostly stable edges of the portal. Clinging on
the edges of the portal keeps you from falling
it also begins to deal fire damage to your
hands at the rate of 1D6 every turn.
Still clinging to the hot edge of the portal all
sounds are sucked away from you. You watch
helplessly as Eve screams as she tries to push
through the portal to reach you.
An enormous shadowy hand comes into you
vision and rears up behind Eve. It grabs Eve
and drags her away from the portal
screaming.
You cannot see where the shadow is coming
from but you do feel a cold presence creeping
up your spine. A cold raspy voice booms
through the courtyard, ringing through your
ears and echoing deep into the void.
“You have trespassed on hallowed ground!
Upset the natural balance of the world! And

struggled so hard and fought so bravely and
now you will suffer, knowing that you could
not save even one insignificant life. You will
live on knowing that you were powerless in
the face of true strength. Better luck next time
heroes!!!”

With that final insult the portal begins to

collapse around the edges, slowly closing in.
Any players hanging on will lose their grip,
unable to hang on to the rapidly degrading
edges any longer. All are swallowed into the
void once more.

A Soft Landing
Once more you feel the rush of movement as
you fall endlessly in the void. The other end of
the gateway opens up into a familiar looking
overgrown courtyard. The party falls out of
the gate at speed and slam into the grassy
ground. A sinister laugh echoes around you as
the portal above stitches itself back together
leaving no trace of its existence. There is no
way back from what you can find.

The doorway to the Hallow has closed once

more, the barriers between worlds have
formed, and the plains of the living and the
dead are separated once more.

Well, at least until next year.

The Meat Locker (Bonus Fight)
The Meat Locker, an old ramshackle
warehouse located just near the Hallowgrave
butchery. This warehouse is quite popular
amongst the denizens of the town as an
underground arena where the true horrors pit
themselves against any willing champions in a
brutal death match held within its four walls.
This is a place for underdog horror’s to prove
their tenacity to the rest of the dark town.
Fights within the grounds of the meat locker
are not grudge matches and being the winner
or loser all must be gracious lest the higher
powers gut them on the spot for defacing this
sacred place.
The Meat Locker is an opportunity for
adventurers who are confident in their skills
of combat and stats to risk it all to reap
greater rewards during this annual holiday
event. The Meat Locker can only be opened
using the Meat Key that can be purchased via
the Ghost Light Market. It is a high cost for
entry as each meat key can only be used once.
An almighty clunk of a hidden metallic
tumbler turning in the lock can be heard as
you turn the gruesome key in its socket. As
the seal of the door cracks open on its rusty
hinges before you, a foul stench invades your
senses. A damp musky smell of spilled blood
lingers heavily in the cool air. From inside the
dimly lit space before you echoes the sounds
of stamping feet and drums. Your challenge
has been accepted and the patrons of the
Meat Locker have gathered in the

awaiting the next blood bath.
Save for the grandstands and bookie stands
taking wagers, the grim warehouse is bare of
furnishings. One look at the floor makes you
gag as the slippery muck that remains of
previous challenges dribbles towards large
drainage grates in the floor. A chill runs down
your spine as you hear the tinkle of chains
above you. Looking up to see hundreds of
chains adorned with meat hooks and some

This place doesn’t hide what it is. A gloriously
brutal massacre, a fight for survival, the worst
against the worst.
Welcome to the Locker
The locker is a bonus boss fight for confident
player characters who wish to try their hand
at earning greater rewards of Candy Corn and
items during the All Hallows Eve event.
This bonus boss fight is not required to finish
the adventure nor is it crucial to the story,
although some hints and clues may be
scattered throughout for the observant. It is a
side venture for the daring to tackle some
even more dangerous Hallowgrave Horrors
that they normally wouldn’t encounter during
the regular adventure. Additionally all bonus
bosses are legendary creatures and have
appropriate stat blocks with legendary
abilities. These stat blocks are located with
the regular Monster Stat blocks towards the
end of this document.
The bonus boss for each meat key is randomly
assigned when the doors to the Meat Locker
are opened. The DM may pick a specific boss
to engage if they wish or roll a dice on the
table below to decide which horror will be
faced by the party.
NOTE: There is only one bonus boss available
at this time, more shall be implemented in
future updates.

William frequents the Meat Locker arena as a

horrors. He will gladly accept the challenge
presented by the adventurers and though he
has no desire to kill them, he will not hold
back.

A booming maniacal laugh fills the air

alongside the creaking and splintering of
straw and wood.
“Hahaha!! And so the weary travellers
stumble their way into the belly of the
proverbial beast once more. You should watch
where you step young mortals and you had

Item Descriptions
The Hallow is a mysterious realm filled with
different customs, dark magic and strange
powerful beings. These chaotic forces lead to
the creation of many unusual and twisted
items that whilst may be a regular household
item for this frightening realm, cannot be
readily found within the regular planes from
whence the adventures hail from. The items
described here should only be found within
this annual Halloween adventure (Unless the
adventurers decide to sell these exotic items
upon their return).
Agatha’s Wedding Rings
Wondrous Item, Unique
A pair of simple but pretty silver rings
engraved with elvish patterns. Any creature
whom touches one of the rings can feel a
ravenous hunger emanating from within. This
item counts as two separate magical items.
When two creatures are attuned to one of the
two rings each, damage received by either
creature is divided equally (rounded up)
amongst the two creatures.
Anti-Decay Serum
Rare Item, Utility
This small clear vial with a red wax seal
contains a viscous golden oil that smells like
rotten fish. Applying this oil to a fresh corpse
will prevent it from decaying, prolonging the
time that the body has to be revived or
reincarnated. One vial contains enough for
one body to last an additional 3 days before
decaying. The oil may be reapplied to extend
the process.
Asteroth’s Betrayal
Wondrous Item, Unique Great Sword
A finely forged silver great sword sealed
within an ornate black leather scabbard. This
is the blade once carried into battle by the
arch demon Asteroth. When wielding this
weapon if the creature was dealt damage
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
during the enemy’s last activation then any
attacks made with this sword for that turn will
be made with advantage as the blade seeks its
revenge for the betrayal just like the one that
killed its original master.
Batikans
Uncommon Item, Thrown Weapon
These small shuriken like weapons are made
from a high quality dark metal and have been
honed, and sharpened into the shape of a bat
with its wings spread wide. It is considered a
ranged weapon with an effective range of 30
ft. It will inflict 1D4 Piercing Damage, plus an
additional 1D2 Fire Damage on a successful
hit.
Bat Jerky
Common Item, Consumable
This local delicacy is quite popular amongst
the lesser horrors and demons that inhabit
the Hallow realm. Each small wax paper
packet contains half a day’s rations worth of a
black leathery jerky that resembles a small
wing. Tastes just like salty chicken and has no
nutritional value.
Blood Curse
Rare Item, Weapon Enchantment
A tattered scroll bound with a bright red cord.
This is a single use enchantment that can be
used to enchant one melee or ranged
weapon. Enchanting a weapon with this curse
causes it to emanate faint traces of magic and
give off a slight red glow. Dealing damage
with an item enchanted by this curse deals an
extra 1D4 Fire Damage on a hit and the
creature holding this weapon at the time loses
that same amount of hit points. These
weapons do not require attuning.
48 | P a g e
Blood Shunt
Wondrous Item, Unique
A thin silver metal tube edged into a serrated
tip at one end is covered in small scratches
from overuse. The blood shunt was once used
to Orisa to slowly drain her victims of every
last drop of their blood by inserting it into a
major artery. This dangerous tool can be used
as a magical weapon that is treated as a
regular dagger with the added effect that if it
deals damage to a living creature the creature
will be inflicted with a bleeding effect. At the
beginning of each of the bleeding creature’s
turns it is dealt an additional 1D2 damage as it
bleeds out. This effect can stack 5 times.
Blood Flask
Uncommon Item, Consumable
A strong musky aroma fills the air as you flip
the clasp on this dented metal flask. A thick
red liquid swirls inside the container. This is
something you drink when you need, not out
of choice. It is a distilled version of blood wine
also made from the blood of a Jubokko tree.
It’s Type-O so it won’t make you sick and
makes an even better emergency blood
transfusion. Upon drinking this consumable
item you will immediately regain 2D6 hit
points (like a health potion but evil).
Blood Wine
Uncommon Item, Consumable
A sweet musky aroma fills the air as you
uncork this small bottle. It is a fine red wine
made from the blood of unknown creatures. It
is perfect for serving in a chilled glass
alongside the finest of meats. It’s always
Type-O so it won’t make you sick and makes
for a good emergency blood transfusion.
Upon drinking this consumable item regain
1D6 Hit Points (similar to a health potion).
Property of JR-K, Artwork property of PR
Bone Blade
Rare Item, Creature Enchantment
A tattered scroll bound with a pale white
cord. This is a single use enchantment that
can be used to enchant a single willing
creature within touch. Using this
enchantment on a creature is extremely
painful and the target creature will lose 5D6
Hit Points over the course of the enchantment
process. If the process is successful the
creature is now able to expend an action and
sacrifice 10 Hit Points to protrude a short
blade crafted using some of their own bones
from beneath their wrist skin. This blade is
treated as a short sword and can be replaced
back after finished being used. If the blade is
broken or lost it will take 24 hours for the
creature’s body to create a new one.
Butcher’s Knife
Rare Item, Unique Weapon
The butcher’s knife is a simple stout blade
pressed into a wooden handle. The blade
despite its obvious wear and tear is razor
sharp and can easily cut through flesh as
though it were paper. The Butcher’s knife
feels heavy in one’s hand; this is a tool for
rending flesh and cracking through bones. The
weight of this purpose will frighten some but
drive others forward. This weapon should be
treated as a +5 Dagger.
Candy Corn Pieces
Common Item, Currency
Gold should be used not squandered away
and silver should be locked away on the
deepest bowels of the earth. The local
currency of this strange realm is the brightly
coloured and sweet tasting Candy Corn Piece.
Made from 100% real sugar these little
delights can be traded for an assortment of
items (or bribes) fro, Skelton the merchant in
the spooky square.

Carving Tools
Common Item, Tools
A small set of rustic scoops and knives perfect
for sculpting all manner of creepy faces into
things. Roll a D20 to determine how creepy
the face is (20 is terrifyingly good).
Cauldron Water
Common Item, Consumable Drink
This small glass bottle of murk brown liquid
looks rather disgusting and has small chunks
floating amidst it. Drinking this liquid tastes
absolutely foul and leaves you with a bad
tummy ache. For the next hour you have an
unending flow of mist escaping from your
mouth and nose from the liquid you just
drank in your stomach. It billows around you
like a small damp fog. It is completely
harmless.
Chains of Torment
Wondrous Item, Unique
The chains of torment consist of a rusty black
set of chain about 6 feet long and emanate a
dark longing for pain. This is an item left over
from a dark age of terror and torture. This
item is used to restrain or tie up creatures and
beasts. The chain is made from an
unbreakable material and its links cannot be
separated. Once these chains have been
placed on, any attempt to tamper or free
oneself from their embrace will cause the
chain to slowly tighten crushing its victim
towards death. Only the one whom placed the
chains on a creature can remove them safely.
Chain-O-Lantern
Rare Item, Lantern
A medium Sized black cast iron jack-o-lantern
swinging from a short chain. Turning the small
knob on the side will open the sharp toothed
jaw revealing a small arrange light inside. The
lantern illuminates the immediate area (15ft)
in a warm orange glow. Allows you to see

through invisibility and sometimes catch
glimpses of the unseen.
Chimera Curse
Rare Item, Weapon Enchantment
A tattered scroll bound with a bright yellow
cord. This is a single use enchantment that
can be used to enchant one melee or ranged
weapon. Enchanting a weapon with this curse
causes it to emanate faint traces of magic and
give off a slight yellow glow. Dealing damage
with an item enchanted by this curse deals an
extra 1D4 Force Damage on a hit and the
creature holding this weapon at the time loses
that same amount of hit points. These
weapons do not require attuning.
Ciphers
Rare Item, Unique Key
This is an odd key. It is a medium sized heavy
Cog with exactly 26 teeth surrounding its cold
grey metallic body. Each tooth face has a
single letter imprinted into it. These ciphers
must be collected in order to open the
gateway back to the mortal realms.
Crow Egg
Rare Item, Companion Pet
This is a speckled blue and brown crow’s egg
about the size of a small rock. If looked after
carefully this egg hatches into a tameable
small sized crow hatchling within 2D4 days
and can become a pet or companion as set
out in the official rules. It has the statistics of
a regular crow.
Cyclops Eye
Rare Item, Magic Source
The cyclops eye is a magic wielders best
nightmare. Physically it looks like a sticky eye
with some essential nerves hanging out of the
back of it, it has a blue iris. Made from the
carefully extracted eye of a cyclops, this magic
source grants the user extra abilities. This
50 | P a g e
item is considered a +1 Magic Source and
must be attuned too. This item grants the
owner the magical ability to temporarily look
through the eye of the cyclops where ever it
may be within 60 feet of the user. While using
this ability the user cannot see through their
own eyes and is considered blind.
Death Sticks
Common Item, Consumable
A sickeningly strong odour of smoke and dried
herbs wafts from these 3 inch brown sticks.
Death sticks are made from a rather potent
combination of deadly plants and when
smoked or inhaled will cause you to pass out
near immediately. This effect will cause your
heartbeat to slow right down giving you the
likeness and appearance of death to all but
the most knowledgeable eye. The effect lasts
1 hour before regaining consciousness.
Ember of Evil
Wondrous Item, Unique Material
A small rough pitch black stone wrapped in
shifting tendrils of red light. The ember is hot
to the touch and exudes a dark power that
beckons you to it. The stone is weak enough
that it can be crushed by squeezing it firmly.
If a creature crushes this ember it will explode
outward in a thick cloud of dark fog. The red
tendrils will wrap themselves around the
target creature constricting their way around
its body. The effect of this item lasts 1 minute.
While a creature is under the effects of this
item they are immune to all damage and
conditions and gain a +5 to all attack and
damage roles. During this time the creature
will viciously attack relentlessly, if there are
no enemies to attack the creature will attack
its own allies. When this effect wears off, any
damage that was dealt to the creature while
under the effects of the ember will be dealt to
the creature all at once as the glowing tendrils
leave its body.
