Accessible Adventure of the Week: The Dark Watchman

August 23, 2021
The Dark Watchman Cover: A 500 foot tall statue of a man in a hooded cloak carrying a staff that extends another 100 feet above its head and holding out a shining lantern that casts a yellow glow on the surroundings. Below the statue is a wetland with a river winding through it. On the river just below the statue is a galleon, and in the distance, another smaller ship. Rolling hills give shape to the horizon.

As the river carves its way through the marsh, the Watchman, a 500 foot tall lighthouse, overlooks the passing ships, lighting their way and alerting them to dangers that would lurk in the shadows. But what happens when the shadows extinguish the light, and what purpose do they have?

This adventure is designed for a party of characters around the third through fifth level with a combined total of about 20 levels.

Make Lives Better through Role-Playing Games

This adventure is one piece of a movement within the D&D community to invite, encourage, and include those who have not been, both in the RPG community and nearly everywhere in real life. Wyrmworks Publishing is dedicated to using RPGs to help you make lives better, to provide tools, training, and a community to this end. We believe that this will extend far beyond the ever-growing RPG community as more and more people learn, grow, and give and receive acceptance.

To that end, this adventure includes disabled NPCs just like in real life, including an archer with back and neck stiffness.

This free adventure is formatted for the blind and visually impaired.
