Ten Ready-to-Run Challenges for Every Tier of Play
Save time and surprise your players with this collection of ten unique encounters. From low-level pests to high-level legendary monstrosities, this collection of Free Encounters provides the overworked DM with everything needed to add a memorable challenge into an ongoing campaign or run a quick standalone session.
This volume spans a wide range of levels (1–13) and environments, featuring everything from scorched deserts and frozen wastes to haunted catacombs.
What’s Inside?
This collection includes ten complete encounters, each featuring lore, custom stat blocks, new items and spells, and high-quality battle maps.
- MFE #121: Swarm of Dire Cicadas (Level 1). A farmstead defense against a magical sonic menace that causes deafness and death.
- MFE #122: Devil Dungeon Donkey (Levels 2–3). Infiltrate a ruined temple to find a missing party and their donkey.
- MFE #123: Iron Donkey (Levels 3–6). Escort a paranoid dwarven smith into a dragon’s domain to recover the secret of forging mechanical, fire-breathing donkeys.
- MFE #124–127: The Widow’s Kiss Series (Levels 3–13). A four-part series where a PC is marked by a sentient hand crossbow and must duel lethal rivals across the world, including a master Kreen archer, an undead enforcer, a giant remorhaz hunter, and a fey bard.
- MFE #128: Pyramid of the Scorpion (Levels 6–9). Breach a desert stronghold to stop a cult of scorpion-worshipping assassins from manufacturing a venom that negates poison resistance.
