Bitter Harvest - A Greyhawk Adventure One Shot

An AD&D 1E & 5E Standalone Adventure for 4–6 Characters • Levels 5–6

Something is wrong along the Zumker River…

A woman’s body is pulled from the reeds beneath Torven’s Ford — pale, bloodless, and marked only by shallow scratches. The villagers whisper of curses and restless spirits, yet the wounds tell a stranger story. No animals will touch the dead, and the fish themselves avoid the bodies drifting in the slow brown water.

Fear spreads through the settlement as more victims are found.

To uncover the truth, the heroes must search the riverbanks, question frightened villagers, and descend into an ancient cairn where an unnatural predator waits in the dark. But the creature that hunts the village is not merely a monster — it is a cunning horror that walks among the living.

And it is already watching them.
