A Cabin in the Mire
A level 1 horror adventure for four to five characters, designed for a single session. An untouched cabin stands deep in a mist-choked swamp, holding the restless spirit of Gavon Wickmoore. Investigate his fractured memories, uncover the curse left by a shattered mirror, and decide whether to free him or confront the source of the haunting.
The swamp journey leads to a compact, mapped cabin dungeon with environmental hazards and memory-based progression. The haunting can be resolved in multiple nonlinear ways, with the undead antagonist responding to the characters’ actions. Includes a story-linked magic item and GM notes for tension, pacing, and atmosphere. A 16-page PDF for fifth-edition fantasy roleplaying games.
