D&D 5th Edition

From afar, the glittering towers of Sharn seem warm and inviting. But that beauty belies a seedy underbelly where the common citizen ekes out a living and those with some amount of talent or experience can ply their trade as an agent for hire. The dark alleys erupt with slung spells and whizzing bullets. Tales of intrigue, crime, and double deals abound. This adventure is one of those tales...

A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st- through 2nd-level characters, playable in 2-3 hours. From their newly founded lodge in the Sloughscar Hills, the Starfinder Society studies the Wreck of the Returned, a massive crashed starship the Starfinders believe was dispatched by the long-lost First Ones. Recent excavations into other First Ones sites uncovered powerful weapons, dangerous technology, and volatile magic—incredibly valuable discoveries capable of causing immense harm should they fall into irresponsible hands. While the Starfinder Society would love to enter the Wreck of the Returned directly, the Wreck’s automated defenses and networked robotic servitors make such an expedition incredibly dangerous. Fortunately, the Starfinders have discovered a nearby site of interest: a sizable piece of wreckage which detached during the crash and landed off-site. Eager for answers, the Starfinders dispatch a team to the crash site to investigate. Unfortunately, Hellknights from the Order of the Eclipse are already inside the wreckage, and their mandate to control, suppress, or destroy dangerous information and technology means they have no intention of sharing anything they uncover. It’s up to the Starfinders to explore the wreckage and gather information, before the Hellknights systematically seize, censor, and destroy everything in their path. This is an adventure in the ongoing Invasion's Edge metaplot. Written by Shan Wolf.

A place of power and pilgrimage, Kor-Montak was abandoned sometime during the Gap and is believed to be cursed. In the ensuing centuries, numerous mystics, leaders, and warriors attempted the pilgrimage up the glacier passes to Kor-Montak, but none returned and Kor-Montak remains a place of myth and memory, lost to time but never forgotten. Impressed by the Starfinder Society’s dedication and ingenuity on a recent joint rescue mission, shobhad geomancer Aruk has invited the Starfinders to explore Kor-Montak and determine the cause of its long-standing curse. Aruk is hopeful the Starfinders can break the curse and return Kor-Montak to its people, as the Starfinder Society is known the galaxy over for their expertise in excavating ancient ruins and handling strange magic. Will you survive the ruins of the world soul? Written by David N. Ross.
