  Knives in the Dark 
   
  Will the assassins have their revenge on Count Varto’s descendant? Will 
  they destroy the mining industry in and around the town of Affeldeen, 
  bankrupting the governor? Will they once again spread terror across the 
  land, offering to bring death in exchange for nothing more than money? 
  Yes, they will. Unless they are stopped. 
   
  Dangers 
   
  The Assassins 
  Each assassin who committed ritual suicide in the stronghold was 
  transformed into a faceless, anonymous living shadow. How many there are 
  is up to you—one per PC for a low-level adventure, up to double that for a 
  high-level adventure—but the PCs should be able to count the bodies in 
  the training room in order to know how many living shadows they have to 
  contend with. 
  The assassins are an arcane cabal whose goals are to hoard wealth, 
  maintain their privacy, and make regular offerings to the many gods of 
  death they worship. 
   
  GRIM PORTENTS 
  ○ 
  The assassins emerge and kill a few people. 
  ○ 
  The wooden head from Kuna-Lii is removed from the stronghold (by 
  the assassins or others, it makes no difference). 
  ○ 
  The assassins possess some people close to the wooden head. 
  ○ 
  The wooden head is used to summon the shadow dragon. 
  ○ 
  The assassins murder Count Tristavelian Zann. 
  ○ 
  The assassins locate and seize a new headquarters. 
  Impending Doom: The assassins impoverish the land and its peoples with 
  their reign of terror, always retreating into their secret base when 
  threatened. 
  Milo Stauffenbach 
  If the PCs get on the governor’s bad side, he can cause a lot of problems for 
  them. Metropolitrix Colcea should be able to protect them to some degree, 
  but freebooters and scoundrels have little recourse. Milo’s main goal is to 
  make as much money as he possibly can, in whatever way he can, but he is a 
  businessman first and foremost. He does not care about the PCs at all, or 
  anyone else in this area, and will try to swindle them all. 
   
  GRIM PORTENTS 
  ○ 
  Milo blames the PCs for problems in the mining camp and disturbances 
  in town. 
  ○ 
  Milo tries to get the PCs to pay for the financial losses he claims to have 
  suffered. 
  ○ 
  Milo tries to get the PCs to hep him swindle Count Tristavelian out of 
  the rest of his lands. 
  Impending Doom: The PCs are branded as criminals and warrants for their 
  arrest are sent to the four corners of the kingdom. 
   
  The Shadow Dragon 
  Once the shadow dragon is summoned, it has its own agenda—to raise an 
  army of slaves and conquer the surrounding provinces. This is the easiest 
  way to obtain all the treasures this area has to offer, in its own opinion. 
   
  GRIM PORTENTS 
  ○ 
  The shadow dragon finds a castle, tower, or other tall residence to roost 
  inside of. 
  ○ 
  The shadow dragon kidnaps people from the surrounding area to 
  obtain food and slaves. 
  ○ 
  The shadow dragon attacks local authorities directly. 
  ○ 
  The dragon’s slaves become an army that marches across the land. 
  Impending Doom: The shadow dragon gains control of this area and 
  surrounding provinces, sending its slave army against its neighbours on a 
  regular basis.
