A one-shot of snowbound secrets, deathless obsession, and necromantic legacy
A winter revel turns into a relentless hunt through snowbound woods and a forgotten necromantic vault. Beneath laughter, wine, and noble charm, an undying arcanist stirs - yet bound but drawn to magic, and determined to rise again and again.
In this module, a festive gathering at a remote lakeside cabin becomes a desperate struggle against a soulbound horror born from the ashes of the Twilight Wars. Invited by the well-meaning but hot-headed Lord Finio Drayl, the characters arrive to prepare a winter celebration—only to attract the attention of a relentless, undying monster that hunts spellcasters without mercy.
As a blizzard descends and guests scatter in fear, the trail leads into the depths of a Necrovault, a sealed royal research facility once commanded by an infamous necromancer under King Kalaman the First. There, amidst toxic alchemical fumes and shattered wards, the truth of the restless apprentice Solado Trolius awaits—a man who sacrificed everything to defy death itself.
Players can expect tense survival horror in a snowstorm, social roleplay at a decadent noble feast, arcane investigation, environmental hazards, and a regenerating undead foe that forces strategic thinking beyond simple combat. With colorful personalities like the free-spirited Flumia Jurro, the quick-witted Yolara Silverbraid, and the daring Herren Glumas, the night begins in laughter—before descending into necromancy wrapped in terror. Destroy the dark magic’s source, or face a regenerating undead nemesis that evolves with every encounter.
