[![red sails at dawn cover mock-up](https://forums.hexed.press/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3723ca1a38f005a8128cfe50d496be22f8601fcb.jpeg)](https://hexedpress.itch.io/red-sails-at-dawn)

Huzzah, I managed to push through and get it done before the deadline!

## Synopsis

This adventure takes place over a roughly six-hour period, consisting of a single night in the town of **Wulfarrow** during the summer solstice. The events begin at twilight and end in the hour after sunrise.

During the holiday celebration, a relic, the sacred blowing horn, **Swansong** , is stolen from the mausoleum of **Wulfruna** , a sanctified hero. This triggers a supernatural reenactment of violent events from the town’s past.

> The horn, hear it blow!  
> It calls us, we must go!  
> To ruin! To plunder!  
> Its voice is as the thunder!  
> **Swansong! Swansong!**  
> Once denied again we rise–  
> A blood red tide! You cannot hide!  
> **Swansong! Swansong!**

## What’s Included

Per the rules of the game jam, this adventure is formatted for A5 paper and is four pages long.

**The extended cut** of the adventure is **24** digest pages long, including notes and prized possessions for each inhabitant, extended referee guidance, and more.

## System

This adventure was written for my [Troupe: Doomsday](https://hexedpress.itch.io/troupe-doomsday) system but is broadly compatible with most **OSR** and **NSR** games. [The rules are freely available online](https://hexedpress.github.io/dad6/troupe_doomsday_overview.html).
