The Storm
The storm descends from the peaks with a sudden fury, as though summoned by an otherworldly force. In mere moments, massive snowdrifts immobilize the caravan, and the falling snow is so thick you can’t see beyond five feet. You huddle by the sledge, shielding your numbing face from the biting winds.
Out of the chaotic blizzard, a dozen half-human shapes stagger into view. These grotesque man-things clutch wooden spears or naked, long swords in their twisted, bony hands. Their bloodshot eyes fixate on your sledge, and the ghastly creatures lurch toward your hidden spot.
Can you endure to unravel the enigma of Blizzard Pass?
In “Blizzard Pass,” players explore a treacherous mountain pass that has become the haunt of a deadly creature known as the Star Nose. The module contains a special section with a series of magic viewfinders, a primitive form of “scratch and reveal” technology that allows players to uncover clues and information as they progress through the adventure.
