An Adventure for All Levels

Unlike most adventures, this one is designed to introduce
groups to the Cthulhu Mythos at any level of play. While the
adventure only provides 1st-level pregenerated characters, it
includes guidelines for adjusting the difficulty to suit characters
of up to 20th level. In each part of the adventure, asterisks mark
subsections that vary at higher levels; explanations immediately
proceed those changes. In the case of creatures encountered or (in
one case) treasure, a sidebar appears with guidelines for how to
scale creatures (or treasure) for each higher level of play.
This adventure assumes 4 player characters; for 3 characters,
treat the party as 1 level lower when consulting the “at higher
level” advice; for 5 or 6 characters, treat the party as 1 level
higher. This adventure is designed to challenge players without
frequent character deaths, but as always it can't account for all
possible parties.

Death Scent (Ex) You can recognize and detect creatures within
30 feet by sense of smell. The range is doubled for undead and
decaying corpses. If the creature is upwind, the range increases to
60 feet (120 feet for undead); if downwind, it drops to 15 feet (30 feet
for undead). Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can
be detected at double normal range. Overpowering scents, such as
skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at triple normal
range. When you detect a scent, the exact location of the source is
not revealed unless it is within 5 feet. You can take a move action to
note the scent’s direction. You can follow tracks by smell, making a
Wisdom (or Survival) check to find or follow a trail. The typical DC
for a fresh trail is 10. This DC increases or decreases depending on
how strong the quarry’s odor is, the number of creatures, and the
trail’s age. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC increases by 2.
The ability otherwise follows the rules for the Survival skill. Creatures
tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor
visibility.

courage is a mind-affecting ability. Inspire courage can use audible
or visual components. You must choose which component to use
when starting this performance.
Unnatural Rapport (Su) You can use your performance to
communicate with unnatural creatures within 90 ft., including
aberrations, oozes, creatures not native to your home plane, and
undead. You can communicate simple concepts
without a shared language and can even
communicate with mindless creatures.
Although you must perform constantly to
maintain the benefits of this performance, you
expend only 1 round of bardic performance per
minute of interaction. Using this performance causes
you to become shaken for its duration. This cannot
make you frightened, but if your game uses the dread
rules, it increases your dread by 1 stage, and your stage of
dread can’t decrease while you perform. Unnatural rapport
relies on audible and visual components.
