From publisher blurb:
Seven Short Scenarios Set in the City of Melanoc
Melanoc Adventures is a compilation of seven short, one-shot scenarios for Age of Ambition. These adventures may either be played independently or serve as companion scenarios to the What Lies Beneath campaign and sourcebook. The adventures are:
Digging Deeper: The party is hired by a group of miners. Three workers have disappeared in the mines in the past month, and they believe that a snake-like beast called the Grootslang is to blame.
The Clockwork Plot: When the party is hired to break into an unhinged engineer’s laboratory, they stumble upon a criminal undertaking, an arcane secret and the ire of an ambitious Thieves’ Guild lieutenant.
The Dreaming Day Heist: When the party is charged with protecting a holy relic from a group of politically motivated thieves, the heroes must thwart the heist, follow a trail of clues and beat the thieves at their own game.
A Night at the Circus: When the heroes are called to prevent chaos from breaking out at the circus, they uncover a plot involving experimental alchemy, an extortion racket, a spurned lover and a kidnapped ringmaster.
Body Problems: Tasked with tracking down a family’s wayward son, the heroes stumble upon a Thieves’ Guild plot, an unscrupulous physician and a dangerous arcane relic. But even then, not all is as it seems.
The Chemist’s Gambit: When an anonymous tip warns of a scheme to poison Melanoc’s outlying farms, the heroes must track down and stop the culprit, all the while uncovering evidence of further espionage.
The Honey Trap: Pressure from a sitting member of Melanoc’s Ruling Council leads to an investigation of a radical political group and a plot to sway the balance of power in the city.
