Tether: The Mystery of Skirvin Manor is a Fifth Edition mystery adventure for three to five 3rd-level adventurers. The characters should reach 4th level by the end of the adventure. While the adventure can be custom built to support all types of adventurers, rogues and clerics will find their features especially useful. Also, there are a lot of Insight, Investigation, and Perception checks required, so characters who have proficiency in those skills will also be valuable on the adventure.

There is no one way to solve the mysteries of Skirvin Manor. As the GM, be sure you read the entire adventure before running it, as there are many details and clues that the characters will need in order to progress.

Adventure Background

Forty years ago, almost all of the population of the village of Camor mysteriously vanished. Even then, the few that remained weren't willing to discuss what happened that night. Ghost-hunters and adventurers speculate whatever happened in Camor had something to do with the strange, old estate atop Camor Hill. Once known as Skirvin Manor, the inhabitants of the old home vanished, too. Only an old man named Earvin Skinship lives in the manor with his servants. And no one has actually seen him.

Occasionally, travelers caught in winter storms or exhausted from traveling through the thick forest surrounding Camor stay at Old Skirvin Manor. While they say the staff is friendly, they do feel that the place is haunted. At night, they can hear the laughter of a small child, tiny footsteps running through the balustrade. Others swear they saw the figure of a woman overlooking the courtyard from the second-floor ambulatory. And then there are those who hear heavy breathing from behind the walls.
