Keep the Wolves at Bay

Sheep have been dying from wolf attacks. Now, the wolves have you surrounded, but have you been thrown to the wolves, or is someone crying wolf?

This one-shot sidequest adventure is designed for 4-5 characters, level 2-3.

Background & Synopsis

The party encounters a woman who shape-shifts between human and wolf form, but she’s not a werewolf. That doesn’t mean a werewolf isn’t lurking nearby.

Tikaani was abandoned by her mother and raised by wolves and now leads her pack. While resting for the night, the party is surrounded by the pack. Tikaani steps in and suspects that the PCs are hunters. She doesn’t trust humans, as they’ve been hunting the pack. Her birth mother is a shepherd who has been hiring hunters to hunt wolves, suspecting that they’ve been attacking her sheep, when in reality, it’s a werewolf, which has also killed two of the hunters she hired. The party must find out the truth, and if they discover that the two women were related, they must decide what to do with that information.

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 a druid with intrusive thoughts and vertigo.

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

From this week’s Accessible Adventure of the Week, Casts with Wolves, we bring you Tikaani, a 3rd level Circle of the Moon Druid.

Tikaani was abandoned by her mother and raised by wolves and now leads her pack. She is challenged by intrusive thoughts and vertigo.

Disabled NPC of the Week

At Wyrmworks Publishing (wyrmworkspublishing.com), we believe that the more people have chances to interact with disabled people, the more normal it will become in their lives, the more comfortable they will be around disabled people, and the more inclusive our world will become. To this end, we release a free disabled character to use in your game every week to help your players grow accustomed to disabled people in an RPG setting, allowing them to get used to interacting with disabled people.
