The Full Moon Ransom

From publisher blurb: For 4-8 Adventurers of 2nd to 4th Level Each month as the sun sets on Deren, the villagers hold their lottery to select a new messenger for the Hand. That night, under the full moon, the unlucky lottery winner takes the ransom payment to the graveyard, hoping that the tribute will be enough. In previous months, the bag of baubles was sufficient; recently, the Hand is unsatisfied with the measly payment. Messengers and villagers disappear when payment fails to please the ghastly appendage. The Magistrate is tired of the ransom, and losing family members and friends. It is time to end the monthly tribute! Can the adventurers help? Can they stop the Full Moon Ransom? An adventure designed to play in a single session! For Swords & Wizardry or 5E.
