Shadow of the Serpent is the second release in the Seipeal de na Nathrach series of adventures for Iron Gauntlets: Heroic Fantasy Roleplaying. Each separate adventure can either be played on its own or as a piece of the developing story told throughout the series. Shadow of the Serpent is a 25-page hack-and-slash, dungeon-type crawl split up into two levels and heavy on magic. More mysterious disappearances, dead livestock, snakebite victims, and the emergence of a new cult have caused panic in a small town. Desperate farmers and elders pull together to offer a reward for information and the solution to this problem. Will the heroes once again venture underground to resolve the situation? Features: * Creature stats included with each encounter to make the director's job easier * Convenient notes assist the director when dealing with rules-specific information, such as tasks, random encounters, traps, and magic items * Interactive rooms which trigger activity in other areas * New races, styles, and creature gimmicks
