Altogether in Cahoots (40 pages) is a fun fantasy adventure for world of Atherria players handbook (Old School RPGs). The system I used was Fifth Edition D&D. I used my five level five Barghest characters. The solo engine I used was The Solo Investigator’s Handbook. The adventure is about a missing person: Count Edmond. Some said that he had died in a fire at The Brothel. The PCs (in goblin form) talked to Claudia the Court Agent first, and then the five suspects that worked at the brothel. Next, they talked to Owen the constable. They received two warrants from him and delivered the first to a half-orc living in a hovel. They talked to the half-orc and that was a dead end.
Next, they searched the house of Edmond. There they did discover the scent of Edmond and a half-written note from him to his sister about Bennett and the trouble that he had been causing. They reported this to Owen. Owen then sent them to Bennett’s mansion. Two of the PCs were able to climb over the twenty foot wall, but they were seen by the sentries. They changed into their fiend form, ran around on the property, but did not pick up the scent of Edmund. The three other PCs helped the other two escape from the property. On the way back to Owen they encountered an assassin which took down Cleo with one poisoned crossbow bolt. The PCs managed to wound the assassin and he vanished in the dark. Owen helped them find a healer.
The next day Jarbunn changed into the fiend shape. She did not pick up Edmund’s scent around the brothel. She also smelled each of the suspects. She noticed that Priscilla did not have a human smell. She went into bad dog mode and the other PCs went into good goblin mode. Priscilla was terrified, admitted that she had killed Edmund, and described the location where his body could be found. So, they completed the quest which did help out their friend.
Give this a try!
