ON THE COVER
This is The Witch’s Brew amongst a swamp in all
its glory, I didn’t illustrate all the establishments in
this book as I am sure the description and the
imagination of the players would suffice.

group must figure out how to break the spell and
return the item to The Apparition Emporium before
it's too late.

purchased from The Apparition Emporium has a

seeking the item, and the party must fend them off
to keep it out of their hands.

Apparition Emporium is a ghost herself and has
been trapped in the store for centuries. She asks for

foreboding, with themes of death, betrayal, and
madness.
The Ventriloquist's Visions: At this carnival, the
ventriloquist and his creepy wooden partner put on
a show that seems to blur the line between reality
and illusion. The puppet's eyes follow you
wherever you go, and its voice seems to speak
directly to your mind.
The Maze of Mirrors: A twisted, and disorienting
maze made entirely of mirrors, where the
reflections seem to move on their own and lead
you astray. Be careful not to get lost in this sinister
attraction.
The Puppet Master's Workshop: A workshop
where the puppet master crafts his eerie and
lifelike creations. The workshop is filled with
strange tools and materials, including a rare wood
rumored to have come from the forests of the
Feywild.

showcases gruesome scenes of torture and death,
acted out by lifelike puppets. The puppeteers take
great pride in their attention to detail, making the
scenes as realistic and terrifying as possible.

discover that the puppets have something to do
with it.

them from their torment.

• During one of the puppet shows, a group of

adventurers notice that the puppets seem to be
acting out a scene from their own past. As they

somehow gained access to their memories.
