From publisher blurb:
Shadow Hotel is a Fifth Edition plug-in adventure for four characters with an average party level (APL) of 3, 5, 8, or 11. This addon offers a general guideline on how to scale the adventure for each level. The Breakwater Tavern was once a promising roadside inn for weary travelers—that is until the proprietor decided to ax-murder all of her guests. Now, boarded up and abandoned, there’s nothing in that place but darkness. The characters must enter the tavern and cleanse it of its corruption.
The Breakwater Tavern was once a modest roadside coaching inn but fell into ruin when its owner, Madame Acelina, went mad and began ax-murdering her guests. She disappeared after the incident and was never seen nor heard from again.
The tavern then went through a string of new owners, none of whom could keep the business afloat. The culprit? Odd noises, apparitions, and just a few disappearances. The tavern was haunted.
Now, the business stands boarded up and abandoned, a squalid testament to Madame Acelina’s grisly crimes. Lately, however, passing travelers have reported strange sightings within the tavern. Though none can say exactly what they’ve seen, the reports all have one thing in common: the darkness of that place has been seen to writhe, as if the shadows themselves have come alive.
