Speak with Dead | A New 7th-Level Mystery Adventure by DMDave

Speak with Dead is a Fifth Edition mystery adventure for three to five characters of 6th to 8th level and is optimized for four characters with an average party level (APL) of 7. This is a mystery adventure where the characters will need to look carefully for clues, take downtime to research, and travel to multiple locations. Although there are plenty of combat opportunities, players looking just to bop things may not find the story to their liking.

The adventure takes place in a coastal region called The Mirror Coast, set within the DMDave campaign world of Omeria. However, you can easily fit the adventure into any tropical or sub-tropical region with plenty of space to sail and explore sweltering jungles.

Backstory

Most men want wealth. And most wealthy men want power. But what do powerful men want? In the case of Jasper Wright, he desired immortality above all else. Ninety-nine years old and wearing thin, the wealthy, powerful noble Wright knew his days were numbered. With urgency, he turned his attention to learning methods of true permanence.

A respectable spellcaster in his own right, he knew the typical means by which to extend his life: diabolical deals, lichdom, vampirism, clones, and simulacra. However, he did not want to “ruin” his “perfect self” through such paltry methods. Wright wanted a solution that would ensure that he lived forever without forsaking a part of himself.

And he found it.
