Red Death Party - A Horror One-Shot Adventure

Dungeons & Dragons 5E / 5.5E Scenario by Echidna Design

A plagued lady, cursed with an incurable disease, dances in her ballroom forever. If she ever stands still she will die, and Red Death will spread unto her entire domain... Maybe even beyond.

To make sure that the dance never ends, the lady's court accompanies her in a never-ending ball. Each guest will keep dancing even after their death, eventually crumbling into a pile of bones.

The nearby town of Cliffburg has been burdened with the responsibility to deliver more people to the lady's palace, a necessary sacrifice to make sure that the ball never comes to a halt. Someone must always be there to dance with the lady, at any cost.

Your assignment: unmask the secret of the Red Death, reach the Lady's Villa, break the curse and put an end to the macabre masquerade.
