The Undying Maiden
A ShadowDark Plug and Play Adventure.
The Towerfall ruins are a cursed location that supposedly has treasure, but almost no one returns alive from. The Undying Maiden was one such returnee who has been cursed to die every 28 days in some horrible manner. She's tried to die in less traumatic ways, but something invariably goes wrong to make it lingering and horrible. She has sought magic users to break the curse without success. She's even died repeatedly to those who thought she was a demon or witch, but always she returns alive the next day. Townsfolk avoid her, but she has used many means to try finding someone to help her break this curse.
The Undying Maiden is an adventure designed to slip into any existing game with minimal adjustment, regardless of character level. Use it to add a bit of depth to one of your cities or as a small side-story for your game. There's no single solution, but instead a number of variables that will allow your players to work out a solution that fits their play style.
The Undying Maiden - Free Edition (pdf)
The original version of the game, released as part of a game jam in 2024. It is a solid work that placed 17th out of over 120 adventures. The rules of the competition meant I had to drop a number of aspects I had wanted to include originally. Still, it is a good piece and well worth picking up since it's still free.
The Undying Maiden - Expanded Edition (pdf)
For those who want something a bit more complete, this is the one to get. All of the items I had wanted to add in the original have been included, doubling the page count. If you liked the free version, you will love this one. The expansions add a lot more to the overall work and the layouts are a lot cleaner.
