A level 7 adventure for 5E
After arriving at the seemingly abandoned trading post of Garland's Fork, the heroes discover to their horror that all of the inhabitants have been transformed into black trees! Upon further investigation, they find clues that lead them to the hidden lair of Nockmort, a treant corrupted to unspeakable evil. Nockmort has been transformed by the strange radiation of a recently discovered meteorite that has fallen from the heavens. The once benign tree folk is now twisted and evil, a diabolical force to be reckoned with! In order to save the town of Garland's Fork, the heroes must enter his sunless garden and do battle with other mutant creatures. And along the way, they might just discover fabulous treasure…
Remember the good old days, when adventures were underground, NPCs were there to be killed, and the finale of every dungeon was the dragon on the 20th level? Those days are back! This adventure doesn't waste your time with long-winded speeches, convoluted backgrounds, weird campaign settings, or NPCs not designed to be defeated. This adventure is 100% good, solid dungeon crawl, with the monsters you know, the traps you remember, and the secret doors you know are concealed somewhere.
