Key of the Fey, The

4e Mercenary Adventure (Heroic, Levels 1-3)

Not everyone needs a hero and not every quest saves the village. When darkness engulfs light, mercenaries heed the call and perform the deeds no one else has the stomach for.

Hired by an orc “merchant” to steal a portal key from innocent cultists, nothing is what it seems.

Recommended for mature players, this adventure provides unique subplots and PC interaction never allowed in most adventures. Switch employers midway through or manipulate everyone to double the payday. Engage in honorable combat or stab 'em in the back. Receive minor quest rewards for keeping secrets or make a name for yourself and earn extra gold. Remember that it’s not about who wins or loses, it’s about getting paid. Do you have what it takes?

Risen: The Guide To Resurrected Characters

4e Character Supplement (Paragon)

The battlefields of the multiverse yield more than fallen orcs, necromancers and demons: uncounted heroes have taken to their graves in the quest for adventure, a reminder of the consequences of bravery. Rather than slip into the Void of death, powers exist in your campaign to resurrect these individuals in grand, powerful forms, returning them to theri rightful place as heroes.

Risen: The Guide To Resurrected Characters presents seven paragon paths - known as resurrection paths - specificially designed to bring your character back from the dead with vigor and focus. Each path provides a means for your favorite character to wield his sword or implement once more through the powers of gods, arcane magic, or sheer willpower. Along with new features and powers, each path provides you with unique roleplaying opportunities to enhance and augment your character's presence at the table - rather than denying your demise, you can embrace it and incorporate it into your character's personality.

Each resurrection path includes roleplaying notes, sample character motivations and possible conclusions for your character at 30th level.

"...a good buy for Players and DMs that want to explore the far side of a Raise Dead Ritual."
