lion-man Another adventure I recently ran

An adventure for 6-8^th level characters.

 

Borrin Dautram is a defence attorney for the local town, he is also a wererat. He has built an underground network of thieves, spies, and enforcers. With his job he has good contacts with many types of rogue and other criminals.

 

At present he has 20 wererats working for him. 10 1^st level rogues 5 2^nd level rogues and 5 1^st level warriors. He also has a butler Charlie. Who is 4^th Fighter/2^nd Rogue wererat

 

Borrin uses the sewer network to travel and meet his men.  He has a secret entrance to the sewers in his home.

 

His next step is to infiltrate the elite of town, he plans to kidnap members of the society and ransom them back. While kidnapped he will infect them with lycanthropy. The kidnaps will always occur 3-4 days before the full moon. The kidnapped are then taken to a secret room in the sewers (underneath Boris’ house) where they are locked up and infected. If the ransom was paid they are released a few days after the full moon. If no ransom was paid they are kept for another month so they realise the truth about their lycanthropy infection, and then, if they agree to be part of the conspiracy, they are let go. If they don’t agree they are killed and left in the streets.  Born uses his sense motive skill to determine if they are telling the truth.

 

A kidnap gang consists of Borrin (in disguise), Charlie and 3 other wererats

 

Ransom demands must be paid in gems and placed in inflated pigs bladders; they are to be dropped in the sewers during the next rainy day. The wererats will easily be able to find these packages in the flooded sewer and the speed of the sewer will stop them being easily followed. The water will also remove any trace of tracks.

 

 Adventure hooks

Tharack a local shop owner has been kidnapped. Reward of 500pg for rescue.

 

A local farm has been very quiet the last few days the animals unfed and cows un- milked. Investigation will reveal all the family dead, many bite marks. One person is missing, the eldest son. He has recently been infected by Borrin and could not control his urge and went on a killing frenzy. Investigation (DC 15 gather information or local knowledge) will reveal he has been in trouble lately with suspected cattle rustling, he managed to get off it though (lack of evidence), papers at the farm show Borrin was his defence attorney.
