From publisher blurb: The Syndicate at Sovad is a beginning adventure for 4-5 characters of 1st level. During the course of the adventure, the characters will advance to 5th level. The adventure is set in Sovad, an alpine village that can be easily transplanted into any fantasy setting. The adventure was designed for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition, but can easily be modified for any fantasy tabletop roleplaying game system. "A darkness has been spreading throughout the land. Members of a criminal society known only as the Black Sphinx Syndicate have been convening annually in the remote township of Sovad for some nefarious purpose. Up until now, the nature of these meetings has been cloaked in secrecy. Head officials working for the Crown’s high command have assembled an elite taskforce to travel to Sovad and try to retrieve intel on the details of these yearly gatherings. Now you and your fellow adventurers await a special delivery beside a black lamppost along a wooded road at twilight. What lies ahead in Sovad, and do you have what it takes to accomplish your mission?"
