+Normally I've been giving the players about 1 level per adventure(because leveling faster seems like more fun to me). This one is hard enough that I think it'll earn them 2 levels.

			"It's been there as long as I can remember."

			"It's evil. When they built the city, they just built around it."

			furtive whispers "A shade lives there..."

			Eventually one of the older locals will tell them:
			"At night you can see five war crystals within the woods. They hold the Shade prisoner... but the shade is merely guarding a greater evil."

			If pressed, the elder will tell the characters that the shade was trapped there "over a thousand years ago". The phylons that trap the shade keep it between our world and it's own domain. In our world, it is deadly and invulnerable. If a single phylon is broken, the shade will escape, and wreck havoc on the city. But if all 5 are shattered, the way to it's domain will be opened. They can fight the shade there, and win. But then they would be forced to face an even greater evil...

			*Note: no one in the city is the least bit interested in venturing in to the forest or hiring a band of adventurers to go in. If the players try to get money out of the elder he will stop talking to them.

			The forest is a maze of narrow paths and small clearings. Each clearing is a potential encounter.

	~~==To battle the Shade==~~		Encounter creatures:
	~~The module has four stages:~~		*Blood Boar
			**8/5, 4-star, deals 2d8 damage, 60 HP, 4 stars
	~~===The Haunted Forest===~~		*Blood Rabbit
			**5 attack dice, 10 dodge dice, deals 1d6 damage but attacks 3x per round. 20 HP, 1 star
			*Blood Donkey
			**Only appears on 1/4 encounters, 7 attack dice, 2d10 damage, 8 defense dice, 140 HP, 6 stars
			*Blood Tiger
			**Maybe only 1-2 of these for entire dungeon, 10/10, deals 4d6 damage and attacks 2x per round, always has at least 5 defense dice

			For each encounter, roll some dice for boars and rabbits, they'll run in to a few of these.

	Once all the Pylons have been darkened, the party will be ambushed by a horde of blood beasts. It would be wise to find a defensible position. This is an invasion-style battle, in which mobs will keep spawning for a series of "rounds". Once the battle is complete, the way into the shade's [[MRPG Domains\|Domain]] will be opened.

			==Battle the Shade==
			The shade is very powerful. On every attack against the shade, players must first flip a coin. If they loose the flip the attack doesn't happen.

			The Shade begins with 8 attack dice and 15 defense dice. On a hit, roll 1d6:

			1. 1d4 Str damage - note the players Str and weapon prof, reduce AV accordingly
			2. 6d6 damage
			3. 1d4 reduced AV
			3. 3d12 damage
			4. Target is immobilized for 1d6 rounds.

If at any time all three switches are turned down, the floor drops out and the character takes 10d10 damage and is left with broken legs.		3*'''Wind''' The character finds themselves trapped in a box.

			The locals have directed your party to the haunted forest, in order to "investigate". The forest is full of blood beasts and other dark monsters. The locals have lit several ceremonial pylons all over the forest in order to keep the darkness at bay. If you wish to confront the shade, your first task will be to darken these pylons.

			Read Aloud:

			"While exploring the city you come upon a patch of pristine woodland. Not much, perhaps 100 acres, with trees and brush so thick that you cannot see daylight within it. It is surrounded on all sides by dense urban sprawl, with no indication as to why this small patch of land was spared. It is clear from a cursory glance that it has never been built on or wood cut from it. The road wraps all around the forest, with perhaps a 20-foot stretch of dirt between it and the treeline. Trash and discarded refuse fill about the first 10 feet, but it is clear no one will dare venture closer to the forest than this."

			If the players question the locals, give them the following:
