The Heist at Sly Manor

"You sneak into a museum filled with all sorts of strange displays, from fierce weaponry and intricate jewelry through to demonic statues and a strange obsidian monolith. You begin to take a couple of steps towards the monolith when darkness swirls around you as the museum's protections jump to life..."

This is a one-shot heist adventure in which the players must infiltrate a high society event and steal a powerful magical item from right under the nose of an accomplished wizard. They will encounter mind-bending illusory defenses and compete with a secondary heist party, all while avoiding the gaze of the guards.

This adventure is for four level 5 players (though adjusting for 3-6 players would be minimal effort) and is expected to take around five hours.

It includes:

* An exciting heist with several twists

* Two new heist-based mechanics: Flashbacks and Guard Alert Level

* Two optional objectives for the players to complete

* A new monster to fight: the shadow duplicate

* Two new items: the rod of illusia and the jade figurine of the deinonychus

* Simple rules for running a skill challenge

* Detailed maps of the manor as well as schematics for planning
