Deadwinter Daughter is a short, festive adventure for a party of four to six 3rd-level characters, who will advance to 4th level by the adventure’s conclusion.
Adventurers awake to a scream in the night. Investigation reveals a family torn apart and a nearby hag coven celebrating their version of the midwinter holiday with a new initiate: the kidnapped infant.
Silence reigns the night before Midwinter; footsteps muted by fresh snowfall and a comforting, cozy feeling settling over the Kaltember household. The family, minor nobility in the area, are all asleep in their beds along with the servants and their guests. Even the servants have drifted off to sleep for the night, having completed final preparations for the next day’s festivities. The lady of the house, Johanna, rises from her bed to check on her infant daughter and instead finds a creature looming over the crib, her daughter clutched in a horrid embrace.
This adventure begins in the middle of the night after Johanna screams, and the adventurers all arrive at the nursery door.
