Fiery Fears | New FREE 4th Level Adventure for 5e

Hello patrons! We have a new adventure for you - 29 pages of pure role-playing.

"Fiery Fears" is designed for four 4th level characters. It will be challenging for 3rd level adventurers and too easy, without serious modifications, for a 5th level party. In the adventure, the PCs follow different clues, discovering bugbears hiding within the town and the disturbed phoenix nest in the volcano. 

They must save the town by getting rid of the monsters and placating the phoenix or escape Serinok before flames engulf everything. Throughout the adventure, the PCs must also repeatedly deal with fires in the town. The adventure should take your group about 4-8 hours to complete. 

To make it easier to adapt to your setting, general terms are used for places or names of deities and such. Just insert the name that is valid in your campaign and continue! This adventure does not follow a rigid sequence of scenes to play through. 

Instead, it explains the stakes and the situation, as well as motivations of the villains. It also presents two “Count5 downs”, or event chains that occur at intervals, one for the bugbears, one for the phoenix. 

Once you insert the PCs into the mix, the adventure unfolds. In the end, the text discusses several most likely endings, but you will probably need to adapt them to the events in your game. Some of the monsters in the adventure are resistant to normal weapons. 

If the party doesn’t have access to magic, the fight might be unnecessarily prolonged and difficult. Remind your players that they can ask the Champion or another ally from Serinok for help: they can loan a magic weapon to the party or procure a scroll of magic weapon for them. 

As always when running a premade adventure, be open to your player ideas and use this text and Spellarena’s maps as inspiration!
