From publisher blurb:
A short & spooky OSR adventure about judgment and consequence.
Nobody in the tavern will shut up about it. A group of angry locals have got the place riled up about some strangeness at the homestead of the local candlemaker Lucan Rushlight. The gravedigger says the cemetery near Lucan’s workshop has been desecrated. The huntsman has seen odd visitors in the forest. Why, just tonight two robed men were skulking on the roads, heading toward the remote homestead. Some of the locals think that old Lucan has joined a cult. Others say maybe he’s taken to robbing graves and fencing the loot. But these townfolk all agree on one thing: they’re ready to march over there and put a stop to whatever it is.
Who’s brave enough to join them?
Something Sinister at Candlewax Cabin is a creepy side encounter or introductory adventure for a party of 1st or 2nd level. It's designed to be run in a single short and spooky session of investigation and mounting comic dread- ideal for a Halloween one-shot. You're gonna send the players to escort some hapless townsfolk deep in the forest, to investigate the homestead of a widowed candlemaker who's been bargaining with dark forces (though not the kind you might think). The townsfolk keep saying that old Lucan has joined a cult but they're completely wrong and your players are really gonna enjoy the little twists and turns as they figure out what's really happening. There’s really not a lot of treasure here besides a couple eerie magic items like the Corpse Candle and Ossifer's Sacring Bell, but the real reward is a group of townfolks who can become loyal retainers for a party that's just starting out and can't afford many hirelings yet.
