So in Nerzugal’s Dungeon Master Toolkit 3 they are simply Adventures. These last from 3 to 12 hours depending on your party’s shenanigans, its size, and your pacing. The estimated times for each adventure are listed alongside them as well as the levels that the adventure support. These are each self-contained adventures that can be dropped into your existing campaign world or be used as one-off adventure with allnew characters. They are a great tool for new Dungeon Masters who might be hesitant to jump immediately into a full adventure or even an official module without first testing the waters. For experienced DMs, these can be a break from your ‘traditional game night ifyou have players missing or simply be interesting set pieces to drop in your world without requiring a ‘buge amount of prep time. often enjoy paying tribute to famous movies and television shows with my adventures and this book is no exception, You will find tributes to Beauty and the Beast, Groundhog Day, Tremors, and Legends of the Hidden Temple inthe following pages, though each of them has been transformed in significant enough ways that your players may not immediately realize the connection Alongside these is Give a HOOT, which allows the party to save and bond with an adorable owlbear and bring a family back ‘together (as seen on the cover ofthis book} The book also includes my previously solo published adventure - The Harvest Festival which can easily span 3 sessions and even has options for a PvP mode if you have enough players!

The entire town is filled to the brim with people from all walks of life indulging in ood. drinking, games, and trade! As the party joins in the festivities, they are called out by another band of adventures - ‘group calling themselves The Saviors of Revelheim. The ‘Saviors are still novices, but after their recent vietory over an attacking squad of ores, they are feeling quite confident in their capabilites - confident enough to challenge the party to ‘competition inthe Gladiator's Gauntlet! The Gladiator's Gauntlet was once a massive arena in which people and groups could face off against one anothes, ‘butas time went on the people demanded a bit more flash and pizzaz than simply fighting with blunted weapons Now; ‘the Gauntlet has become an entirely new competition with ‘events that can challenge every skill in an adventuring group's, arsenal There is still some bloodshed on occasion, but now theres also plays, feasts, and fearsome beasts! In Roofiop Rush, two runners sprint across the rooftops in the city’s living district while the rival team pelts them with nonlethal arrows -some of which are filled with oil or even ‘glue! In the Culinary Confrontation, each team must compete to create the ultimate culinary experience, choosing a single (ordinarily repulsive) ingredient that their opponents must ‘use in their meal! In the Passionate Performance, the teams ‘must work together reenact a scene from a famous play, captivating audiences with their charm and swagger on the ‘tage! And this is only a portion of the potential challenges! In between events, the party is welcome to indulge in any of the nine different festival games that are scattered all ‘throughout the city: Some of these events are based on luck ‘while others are based on skills, but all of them ean, potentially reward a Golden Ticket which allows fora spin on the Grand Prize Wheel in the town square! The prizes range from a stay atthe finest inn ofthe city up to a bag containing ‘up to 100 gold. ‘Your players best be ready to utilize all of their skills as ‘they venture into The Harvest Festival! A PvP ADVENTURE!? ‘This module can also be used asa PvP adventure! Two parties of PCs can compete against one another instead of against the Saviors of Revelheim! There are instructions alongside each ofthe events in the Gladiator's Gauntlet that zives information on how to convert each of them to a PvP. ‘encounter rather than PvE. This will mean a crowded table, ‘but will also hopefully mean a great deal of fun for everyone involved! Averace Party Lever (APL) ‘This adventure uses the Average Party Level (APL) to scale the difficulty of encounters. This is simply the average of your players total character levels assuming you have 4 party ‘members. If your group is larger than 4, increase your APL by 1 for each addtional player If your party is smaller than 4, decrease your APL using this same rule. EXPECTED LENGTH: 2 Hours ‘The expected length of this adventure is 6-12 hours. [ realize this is quite a large spread, but there are so many different things for your players to explore in this adventure and iis intended to be open-ended, There are ming games to explore, [NPCs to talk to, and the actual length of the main tournament can be shorter or longer depending on how the party performs. That being saic | would highly suggest more ‘than one session as there is alot to do at the Harvest Festival! DESCRIPTIVE TEXT Text that appears ina box like this s meant tobe read sloud forthe players when their characters first arrive ata location of Under a specific circumstance that wll be noted New DM DiscLaIMER | would not recommend the PvP mode for a novice DM, as it will likely be overwhelming to try to manage up to8 players at the table at once!Harvest FesTIVAL OVERVIEW SHEET SrEcIALTY Foop Major EVENTS ‘+ Arrival in Ankhor ‘+ Getting a Copper Drinking Token + Choosing a Tavern 1+ Meeting the Saviors + Gauntlet Overview ‘+ Competition SignUp ‘+ Entering the Gladiator's Gauntlet = Best of Five Saviors ask to draw out tournament for gold if losing ‘+ AWinner Declared ‘© Additional Rewards + Saviors Sendoft TAVERNS + The Glass Mug *+ Ankhor Ale House + The Tower Tavern Important NPCs ‘Tue Saviors or REVELHEIM ‘© Mareo Vargus - Human Fighter ‘+ Relenas Tylina - Elvish Wizard ‘+ Milo Thatch - Halfting Rogue ‘© Eldon Thatch - Halfling Paladin GiapraTor’s GAUNTLET EVENTS Rooftop Rush Jabilant Joust Brawling Beasts Culinary Confrontation Passionate Performance Fishing Frenzy ‘The Gauntlet Food Challenge Dragon Wings The Ramslay Special Spiked Apple Pie Goblin Balls SPECIALTY DRINKS Dragonflame Brew Tee Giant Ale ‘The Bog ‘Mindwarp Whiskey (Limit 1 per guest) Triple A (Ankhor Apple Ales) Game BooTus Hammer Slam Dagger Toss Hot Pepper Challenge Drop in the Bucket Ferret Races Cake Walle Duck Pond Copper Mines Fishing in the Void‘WELCOME TO ANKHOR ‘The city of Ankhor is quite large, spanning multiple miles with its vast trade district and numerous housing districts ‘The inner portion of Ankhor is surrounded by a thick stone wall. At one point in history, the entire city was protected by these walls, but Ankhor's population has grown far too large {or such constraints now: The businesses within the bounds of the walls are typically high-class while the areas on the outside are middle to lower class. There are dozens of other groups heading into the city as you rake your way down a large hill that leads into the beautiful, sprawling city of Ankhor. The view is spectacular as magically enchanted bonfices cause brillant flames to dot the town and sends colorful plumes of smoke up into the air A pleasant aroma can be smelt even many hundred yards outside of town the smell ofbaked goods and fried meats. As you approach, you see town guards in outfits decorated in red, yellow, and ‘orange standing out front and handing each person that enters the city a small copper token ‘As each person enters the city, they are given a single copper leaf that is good for one beer at any tavern oftheir choice within the city and there are many options available! It is ‘rowing late when the party arrives at Ankhor, so most of the Festivities have moved into the taverns as the game booths ‘and vendors have shut down for the day (aside from a select ‘ew offering specially seasoned beers and fanciful desserts infused with aleohol) The party can make their way toa tavern oftheir choice, Dutif they ask a local or a guard they wil be old ofthe following: The Glass Mug. Ankhor Ale House, and The Tower Tavern, ‘+ The Glass Mug serves all oftheir alcohol in see-bad meal! Ir Baltoneowa!" ‘+ °This ellis famous for his spices kicking his meals up another notch, With some of the best restaurants in the ciy, ets give a big welcome to Lerime Essagal!” ‘+ "This halfelf woman can breathe life into even the fouest of meals. With her charming smile and joyful optimise, she is sure to delight even the grumpiest of audience ‘members as well! Its Rachelle Sunray!” SPECIAL INGREDIENTS ‘Next, Thdallen will lead the partyin the selection of their special ingredients. He will read each of the items out loud and the crowd will cheer and wretch in response! The potential special ingredients are as follows: ‘+ Jar of Gelatinous Jelly -A jar of heavily acidic jelly from a {gelatinous cube. It will dissolve through most other ingredients, has a strange texture, and almost no discernible taste or smell IF used correctly, it can unleash the true flavor of other ingredients Ingesting too much of this causes stomach ulcers ‘+ Pickled Intellect Devourer Brain - This large pickled brain has a horrid texture and smell, but surprisingly \elicious Mavor. The presentation is gruesome, so it will need to be heavily disguised to allow the person eating the food to appreciate the taste. Ingesting too much of this causes vivid hallucinations and short-term memory loss. ‘+ Nothie Bye - This eye is nearly six inches in diameter and continues to stare out aimlessly. The juice contained in the eye is considered a delicacy, but extracting itis less than pleasant. If done improperly. it can completely overpower a meal with a taste that is similar to that of blood, but i used correctly it has a strong umami taste, Ingesting too much ofthis causes terrible nightmares and paranoia. ‘+ Spectator Tentacles - These long, slender tentacles are covered in slime that must first be carefully removed to use the ingredient. The tentacles are quite tough and if prepared incorrectly are all but impossible to chew. Different tentacles provide different flavor profiles - some spicy and others naturally sour or salty. Ingesting too ‘much of this item causes a short-term superiority complex and illusions of grandeur. ‘+ Basilisk Heart - This large heart has a good flavor if you can extract the tiny pieces of stone from within i. The last thing a meal goer wants is to consume little chunks of stone as they eat their meal! I must be added to the meal late, as it slowly petrfies other ingredients if left near them for too long. Ingesting too much of this item leads to the development of kidney stones. ‘+ Magmin Flame Sac - This sac filled with an orange jelly like substance that is spicier than the hottest of peppers! Taking a bite out of a raw flame sac will cause someone 10 sweat profusely before passing out from sheer pain and losing the ability to taste for many weeks. Using the correct amount to get the spice without the pain is tric, asi extracting the jelly without burning yoursel. Ingesting too much ofthis causes painful chamber pot adventures, temporary loss of taste, and heartburn.Common DisHEs ‘+ Jar of Gelatinous Jelly- Gourmet peanut butter and ‘gelatinous jelly sandwich with peach jelly cobbler for dessert. ickled Intellect Devourer Brain -A diced brain salad with a potent sour vinaigrette alongside a pickled brain omelet and roasted potatoes. ‘+ Nothie Eye - Cream of mushroom and onion with a nothie eye juice base and an eye,juice glazed pork with pineapple slices, ‘+ Spectator Tentacles - Meatballs and spectator tentacle noodles with garlic bread and a white chocolate coated tentacle pretzel for dessert. ‘+ Basilisk Heart - Basilisk heart and broccoli with teriyaki sauce alongside basilisk heart bacon and maple donuts, ‘+ Magmin Flame Sac - Flame sac roasted chicken and rice with hot and sour soup and a spicy tomato cocktail Choose a random ingredient for the Saviors to assign. All are fun and challenging in their own way. The Saviors will ‘make one of the meals listed in the section above. The players are free to come up with whatever dish sounds fun and delicioust Ifone ofthe party members has proficiency in skill relevant to cooking, give them some of the ideas above as well This is meant to play out like a cooking ‘competition television show, so keep that in mind as you play out this event! ‘THE MARKETPLACE (Once the players have their special ingredient, they can form game plan for what they would like to prepare. Give the players afew minutes to discuss before setting them loose. Each team is allowed to only use the three gold given to them for this event. A judge will follow the players around, taking note of the ingredients purchased and the amount of remaining gold. Tydallen will walk over during this time and ask the party their thoughts and what they think of their ‘special ingredient. ‘Vendors know the competitors are out forthe highest quality ingredients and will attempt to lure them to their booths. Some can give advice on using the ingredient in a dish and why the items at their booth are the perfect match. ‘Some ofthe vendors have long lines of ordinary citizens and the party may need to shove some people out of line or bribe them to get to the vendor in time! The characters can use a variety of skills to aid with this purchase of ingredients and make sure they get the most ‘bang for their buck! ‘+ Charisma (Persuasion) checks can lead to better prices and allowing the players to buy higher quality products. ‘= Intelligence or Wisdom (Survival) checks can help to know which items in the market are going to pair well with their special ingredient. ‘+ Wisdom (Insight) checks can let the party know ifthey are boeing overcharged for an ingredient or if vendor is stretching the truth about an item's common usage to get asale, Players will need to make a total of three checks as they interact with these vendors. These checks will determine the quality of their ingredients compared to the opponent. ‘To determine the Savior's total, roll 3420 + 10. ‘Venpor Ortions ‘+ Marius’ Magnificent Meats ‘+ Beatrice’ Fresh Baked Breads ‘+ Veronica's Fresh OfF TheVine Fruits and Vegetables ++ Pierre's Pasta Emporium ‘+ Jamar’ Jellies and Jams, ‘+ Sabrinals Spice Shelf ‘+ Dariais Dessert Destination Lzt’s Gzt COOKING Once time is up in the marketplace, the teams rush back into the tent to start cooking! Only three characters can work effectively at the cooking station at atime, so the players will have to choose those with the most relevant skills to represent them! Tydallen walks around the area making comments about how good the food smells, complimenting the techniques the competitors are using, and questioning the introduction of certain spices as the crowd oohs and ahhs. He will even pull one of the party members aside and ask them personal questions, trying to pry out tragic history to share ‘with the crowed. He will even go so far as to lean in and whisper in their ear, “It doesn't even need to be true. The ‘crowd just eats this up!” DETERMINING QUALITY ‘The party will need to perform three checks for cooking and plating their meat The players can justify which stat and proficiency they would like to use. All characters in the kitchen must contribute one roll and the same check cannot be made by two different characters (except a Cook's Utensils check) This could be an Intelligence (Cook's Utensils) or Wisdom (Survival to prepare the exotic food a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) to carefully cut the ingredients, or even a Charisma (Performance) check to plate the ingredients in a pleasant manner. ‘The Savior's will use 3420 + 8 for their bonus for this portion of the competition. Ifthe party's total from the marketplace and cooking rolls is between 81 and 95, they receive (10 x APL) additional gold at the end of the tournament. If the total is 96 or higher, they receive (20 x APL) additional gold atthe end of the tournament. Alternatives. if your party's total is 65 or lower, this also brings in (20 x APL) additional gold because people love to watch the tragedy unfoldJuveme! ‘When the plates are sat down before the judges their ota score aerossthe marketplace and in the kitchen determines their eactions. ‘+ 65 and below -The meals vile. The meat might be raw or the special ingredient is used at dangerous levels. The judges are disgusted and refuse to eat the food with snide remarks and disappointment. The food may literally kill, ‘+ 66-80. The food is edible but doesn’t highlight the special ingredient or does not look appealing on the plat. Spices added at incorrect levels. May be slightly burnt. ‘+ 81-95. A good meal It has.a nice presentation and makes good use ofthe special ingredient. This is the kind of food they would expect to receive at a nice restaurant! ‘+ 96 and above - The meal is mind-blowingly delicious! Even some of the professionals don't know if they could hhave created such a unique and effective combination to highligh the special ingredient. They each clean their plates and the crowd goes wild! ‘The winner is the team with the highest total score across their six rolls PASSIONATE PERFORMANCE Overview In this portion of the gauntlet, the competing teams will have {0 use a bit of cooperation to appeal to an onlooking crowd, ‘They are given a script with assigned parts and must act outa short scene from a famous play.

Narrator: End of sceneFISHING FRENZY OVERVIEW ‘The two competing groups are taken to Lake Orenska near the northern edge of the town, To the east of the lake isa moderately sized forest that is protected by the city from any additional developments. They wanted o maintain some of the natural beauty of the area even asthe city grew. There are numerous docks surrounding Lake Orenska, These are mostly used to take boats out on the lake for leisure fishing and romantic excursions. For this event, the players will be given access to a boat and basic fishing equipment but no bait. They are not permitted to ‘purchase bait and must find it themselves inthe forest or shallow waters. They must then use this bait o go and try to catch the largest fish, The competitors are given ninety minutes to get this done! They must be back atthe docks atthe end ofthe ninety ‘minutes or none oftheir fish count! The lake is filled primarily with bluegill largemouth bass, and catfish. The catfish arc the largest ofthe potential fish but also the most difficult to catch. Largemouth bass are also quite big and can easily win the competition. Catching a bluegill is simply a backup in ease you can get nothing else, Bluegill can also be used as bait for catfish! The players will need to use their knowledge ‘of nature, their survival skill, and a bit of luck if they hope to come out the winners of the Fishing Frenzy! GaTHERING Barr ‘The first step ofthe tournament is to gather bait, There are many different options in the forest and the shallows of the lake. Different baits work better on different types of fish, For simplicity, we will narrow this down to just a few options. Each time your players make a check to find a type of bait, it takes 5 minutes. On a success, they get enough for 2 skills checks of fishing. On a fai they get enough for 1, Do not show the chart below to your players, but any of them can make an Intelligence (Nature) check or a Wisdom (Survival) check to gain general information about what types of fish prefer specific bats. You can also give them insight as to which are “better” and which are “more dificult to obtain” using the chart below (but never give specific numbers).

There is a map sitting on the seat of the boat along with oars and two fishing poles. There are replacement hooks, fishing lines, and sinkers as well. The ‘boat can seat up to six, though with that many itis quite crowded! A smaller boat with a judge follows after the party to ensure they ‘do not cheatin their catching of fish, The map in the boat shows some ofthe key fishing spots inthe area. The markers simply communicate the location andl the distance from the docks. Any player ean make an Intelligence (Nature) or Wisdom (Survival) check to learn more about these locations. On a result of 10 or more, they learn the types of fish that are likely to be at each location. On a result of 15 or more, they learn that bluegill ean be caught and used as bait for catfish, On a result of 20 or more, they learn relative odds of geting ‘snagged at each location, Location Distance From Dock _BluegillDC Bass DC CatfishDC SnagRange _Size Modifier ‘Open Waters O minutes eis Dc22 -DC30— N/A ad6 ‘The Shaded Cove 10 minutes pc 12 Dc20 C28 1-2 1d6 Lily Pad Inlet 10 minutes pc 10 Deis C26 14 1410 ‘The Sunken Ship 10 minutes NA NA DC22,— 1-6 2d6 Fallen Logs Cluster 15 minutes NA pee pcs 18 208S / Fisuino! ‘When the party arrives at an area, they ean immediately Degin casting. Each competitor that i fishing (maximum 2) ets to make I check every 5 minutes, assuming they have the required bait. A fishing check is a d20 + (Wisdom Mod or Dexterity Mod) + Bait Modifies. f the raw d20 value is within the snag range for the area, the line breaks and that character loses 5 minutes as they restring or add new tackle to their pole. This occurs even if the total roll exceeds the DC to catch a fish! These spots are high risk, high reward! Otherwise, the type of fish is ofthe type of the Injghest DC that is passed by the check. DETERMINING SIZE Each type of fish has a base length. You then get to add the size modifier forthe area to this length. ‘+ Bluegill-2 inches ‘+ Bass 5 inches ‘= Catfish -8 inches Back To THE Docks Remember, your fish only count if you get back to the docks before the 90 minutes is up! So be sure your players are aware of how much time is left in the competition so they can, plan accordingly! If they want to press their lick, they can perform a DC 15 Strength (Athletics) check to try and get, ‘back to the docks in hal the time, but on a fail they do not ‘make itand are disqualified! The Saviors will spend the entirety of thei fishing adventure out atthe Lily Pad Intet. They manage to catch 2 bluegill 2 bass, and 1 catfish. Roll the sizeof these fish (using, the base lengths plus a d10 forthe area) and see which one is, the largest! Compare their largest fish to the partys largest fish and declare a winner! Ifthe party manages to catch a fish of at least 15 inches, they earn an extra (10 x APL) gold at the end of the tournament. Ifthey catch a fish of at least 18 inches, they ‘earn an additional (20 x APL) gold at the end of the Drawine It Out ‘The first team to three victories aeross events is the winner! Whenever the PCs are at two wins, ifthe Saviors are behind, they will have an aside with the party. Marco will tell them ‘that their bouts have been pretty popular and they eould all ‘make a decent amount of money ifthe contest went as long as possible, He will suggest the party takes a dive so they ean ‘even things up 2-2 before the final event to draw the largest crowds! Its up to the party whether or not they want to go ‘through with it, though. A WINNER DECLARED ‘Once one ofthe teams has reached three victories in the Gauntlet, they are declared the winner Both ofthe teams are gathered inthe square ofthe town where there isa ceremony in front of al ofthe fans they have earned over the course of the competition. Tdallen (rom the cooking contest) is the spokesperson for this as well He will recap all ofthe events the winners, and any spectacular feats the partes accomplished (spectacular being those that earned additional fold) He wil then give each ofthe members ofthe winning team, special god leaf token, similar to the copper leaf the party received when they arrived in the ety. Tyllen looks to the crowd and speaks. "This Gladiator Gold Leaf is good for one round offre drinks for every person in the tavern at any of ‘our fine establishments during the Harvest Festival so you ‘may want to find out where this bunch is staying tonight!” ‘The group that gets second place receives a set of Gladiator Silver Leaves. Each of these are good for ten drinks av any tavern inthe ety during the harvest festival Once these rewards have been given out, two men carry a c’chest out onto the stage. The gold thatthe party initially paid to enter the competition has been converted into silver and copper to fill this chest to the point of overflowing. The men sit it down in front of the winning team and Tydallen calls for ‘one final round of applause for the winners before ushering everyone off stage, ADDITIONAL REWARDS ‘Tydallen will then call over both groups. His hyper energetic and excited demeanor fades and he talks to the party like 8 normal person. “Great work out there, both of you. Take these serolls over to the Festival Treasury and they will get the rest of your gold paid to you. You can also trade out all of that silver and copper for gold and platinum while you are there."He hands each of the teams a scroll and gives them a bow before going off to mingle with the erowds, Calculate the amount of gold your party is to receive based ‘on their APL, the number of rounds in the competition, and the additional rewards they may have earned during events. Saviors SENDOFF Win or lose, the Saviors are quite gracious after the ‘competition. There will be some trash talk about how they gave the partya run for their money or peshaps stating that they should meet up again next year for a rematch, They will invite the party tothe tavern where they offer to buy everyone a round of drinks with their coins and get to know each other abit better. You can play this out if youd like or simply skip over this bit ifyou are running low on time!OTHER FestIvat ACTIVITIES! ‘As mentioned at the beginning ofthis module, there is more to do at this festival than simply the Gladiator's Gauntlet. ‘There are all kinds of games the party can indulge in as well as specialty food and drinks!
