A Song in a Minor Key

A Song in a Minor Key is a melancholic one-shot adventure module that will have players exploring the abandoned tower of a world-famous rock star.

Setting

A crumbling tower stands as the last monument to Orin Nightwhisper, the legendary bard whose melancholic tunes once captivated the world. His melodies still haunt the land, carried by the wind, luring travelers who hear the faint strains of forgotten songs in their dreams. Orin’s fate, intertwined with the tragic love of his life, Lyriana, has transformed his home into a forsaken place of mystery, where necromantic energy stirs in the shadows, and his undying love remains tethered to the world.

This one-shot adventure takes players into the heart of Orin Nightwhisper’s abandoned tower, where they will face terrifying challenges, uncover hidden secrets, and confront the sorrowful echoes of his failed necromantic experiments. Haunted by the tragic death of his beloved Lyriana, Orin’s home is a place where magic and music intertwine, and where his soul remains in peril. As players explore the tower, they will discover that only by freeing Orin’s soul from the dark magic that binds it can peace be restored to this once-great bard’s legacy.
