Description:

Scrimhunt Castle was donated generations ago by Lord Scrimhunt to be a place of healing for those suffering from magical afflictions. It was a bright and airy castle built on cliffs overlooking Pocket Bay, conveniently close to Horizon, a city with a reputation for creating odd new magical afflictions. Lord Scrimhunt acquired a reputation for handling curses others couldn’t cure and invited clerics and healers from across the Dragon Empire to help with the great work.

One such healer was the brilliant but troubled Magister Beutel Worst. Magister Worst believed that he could use fire to fight fire, or in this case, use experimental magic to fight magical maladies. In the basement of the castle he built a contraption he called the Great Apparatus, an elaborate cogwork artifact designed to harness the energies of twelve healthy wizards in order to force the magical maladies out of the bodies of the patients under his care.

On a dark and stormy night Magister Worst harnessed the power of lightning to drive his Apparatus, but something went terribly wrong. Nobody knows what happened that night but the following morning not one person on the grounds of the castle was left intact or alive. Locals claim that it is haunted, calling it ‘Screamhaunt Castle’, and the name seems to have stuck.

On a dark and stormy night, four sodden souls find themselves on the doorstep of the ghastly castle….

The Folding of Screamhaunt Castle is a seasonal Halloween adventure, slightly tongue in cheek. It pays homage to the haunted house tradition from the wacky comedy of Clue to the chills of The Haunting of Hill House and 13 Ghosts. This is an adventure for 3rd-level characters. Pre-generated characters will be provided at the table and the players will finish up the character creation process by choosing their one unique thing, backgrounds and icon relationships.
