You sneak into a museum filled with all sorts of strange displays, from fierce weaponry and intricate jewelry through to demonic statues and a strange obsidian monolith. You begin to take a couple of steps towards the monolith when darkness swirls around you as the museum's protections jump to life...
This is a one-shot heist adventure in which the players must infiltrate a high society event and steal a powerful magical item from right under the nose of the accomplished wizard who owns it. They will encounter mind-bending illusory defenses and compete with a secondary heist party, all while avoiding the gaze of the guards.
This adventure is for four level 5 players (though adjusting for 3-6 players would be minimal effort) and is expected to take around five hours.
It includes:
An exciting heist with several twists
Two new heist-based mechanics: Flashbacks and Guard Alert Level
Two optional objectives for the players to complete
A new monster to fight: the shadow duplicate
Two new items: the rod of illusia and the jade figurine of the deinonychus
Simple rules for running a skill challenge
Detailed maps of the manor as well as schematics for planning"
