 WENDIGO BOUTY HUNT
ADVENTURE SUMMARY
The adventure is set in two parts and is
intended to be completed in around 3 to 4
hours.
This adventure works best in one of the
Ten-Towns set around Icewind Dale.
The local law of�ice is eager to maintain a
level of order and plans on paying well for
the services of bounty hunters.
The players will gain info on the bounty on
offer from locals and the barbarians who
live out with Ten-Towns in Icewind Dale.
The adventurers will then set out onto the
frozen tundra north of the Spine of the
World to hunt the Wendigo and possessed
hunters with the bounty on their heads.
ADVENTURE HOOKS
Recently a series of murders around Ten-
towns has got law enforcers jittery. The
ferocity and cannibalistic nature of the
murders happening around Ten-towns has
been sudden and becoming frequent.
This is the �ifth of this type where a local
interrupted the last attack. The suspect �led
immediately into the wilderness.
Characters who have backgrounds related
to whichever town the DM sets the
adventure will give over information about
that town and the Reghed Barbarians who
live on the frozen tundra hunting reindeer.
They will also note that murders of this
level are not common within the mostly
peaceful communities.
Use any of the following hooks to capture
the attention of the players. As the players
ask around about the murders it should be
noted all the suspects who have since
disappeared were all local hunters or
commuters with the Reghed Barbarians.
BOUNTY
The local lawmen have set a bounty of 200
Gold on �inding the suspects and bringing
them to justice.
JUSTICE
The nature of this murder is foul. Surely
whatever caused this is of great evil. It must
be dealt with in the name of justice.
HUNTING THE BOUNTY
SPEAKING WITH THE WITNESS
The witness home sits sullen on the edge
of town. Snow showers heavily around and
the temperature is dipping as the day
wears on. The small house has little light
coming from inside.
• The witness is inside and will answer the
door to the adventurers.
• The witness is frightened.
• The witness should describe the suspect
as looking almost beyond human,
creature like. They were pale and gaunt
(The suspect was topless). Their mouth
wide and smeared in blood.
• They last saw the suspect as devouring
the victim in the victim’s home. The
suspect was startled by the witness
coming into the home and �led through a
window into the snow at an inhumane
speed.
• The witness doesn’t know who this
person was.
• Their house is frozen cold, the witness
just wishes to be left in the dark as a way
of getting over what they saw.
• The victim was their friend.
THE VICTIM AND
THE VICTIMS HOME
Mourners stand outside the victims home
with lanterns well each saying quiet
prayers. Heads dipped with hoods in the
snow makes it hard to see any of their
faces.
The house sits wide for anyone to walk in.
No one dares enter with the stories
spreading around town.
Entering the home brings with it a rancid
smell of death. The victims body is still
spread around the room clearly torn to
pieces.
The climate has claimed the house with
much of the room now frozen over with
snow drifting in through a broken window
at the back.
Dried and frozen blood stain the living
room.
• DC 12 Medicine check will determine the
victim has vital organs missing.
• DC 15 Investigation of the window will
reveal tracks in the snow outside leading
out to the frozen tundra.
• Town folk outside will note a rumour has
been spreading it was one of the hunters
who met freaquently with the
barbarians out on the snow wilds.
THE REGHED CAMP
This small hunting camp is comprised of
four small tents on either flank of a larger
main tent.
A group of four hunters stand by the large
tent watching you approach from the
frozen turndra.
• The hunters are not violent or against
the adventurers approaching.
• The hunters will gain the reason the
hunters are here before they let the
adventurers into their main tent.
REGHED CHIEF AND SHAMAN
The main tent is large and warm filled with
main aroumas ranging from cooked meat
to others which are not so pleasant.
Two older hunters sit beyond the central
fire. Their faces tell of their hard life on the
tundra and their wisdom beyond the
younger hunters outside.
Reghed Chief: The Reghed Chief is a proud
leader of these barbarians. Speaking with
the Chief will reveal hunters from ten towns
have been helping with their hunting
parties lately.
Recently a blizzard hit a hunting party and
as the blizzard blinded them the party
separated in the snow.
His barbarian hunters were able to return
within a day of the blizzard, but the hunters
of Ten-Towns were out there for over a
week.
They eventually returned passing by the
barbarians but the Shaman of the camp
advised an evil spirit hangs over them.
Reghed Shaman: The Shaman is old and
any attempt to communicate with the
Shaman leads to him speaking in a language
exclusive to Shamans of the Icewind Dale
tundra.
• He will give them a liquid to drink, which
will put them into a dream like state.
• A DC 15 investigation of the liquid
con�irms it is reindeer urine.
 REGHED TEA DREAM
The Shamans tea goes down hard and
burns the back of your throat. Without
warning the heat and smell of the tent
disapear as you are beginning to see
beyond the tent.
You are now flying high above the land
with all its beauty and awe in your sight. A
sudden pull draws you back down to the
frozen landscape as you see four men
standing in the centre of a black mass
within the snow.
Dark spirits linger over the hunters as
though possessing them as vessels. The
dream now draws you down into the dark,
even as you resist you cannot stop.
Within the dark a boiling pool of flesh
strives to form around various animal
bones and organs.
Suddenly the vile dream ends and you are
back in the Reghed Tent.
The Shaman Reveals:
• While out on the frozen landscape the
hunters were forced to survive by eating
one of their fellow hunters. This
conjured the spirit of the Wendigo long
lost in the ice. Finally the dream will also
reveal the location of the hunters and the
spirit out in the landscape.
TRAVELLING THE
FROZEN TUNDRA
The snow is deep in parts and in others
frozen over making footing easier. The sky
is overcast light and grey. Judging
direction becomes harder as seeing where
sky and land meet becomes indiscernible.
The only sound is the clumping of snow
beneath your feet and the cold is bitter on
any exposed parts of your body.
• The �irst sign of the hunters will come
as fresh tracks in the ground.
• The possessed hunters are found
twenty miles North East of Ten towns
and north of the Spine of the World (See
Forgotten Realms map).
• It should take 14 hours to get here on
foot.
• The hunters are found standing in a
circle in an indiscriminate location in
the snow and ice. Eventually following
their tracks the �igures will become
visible within �ive miles.
• If snow is blinding their way the party
will not be able to see the hunters from
a distance
HUNTERS CIRCLE
The hunters can be seen standing in a
circle. None of them move and appear as
though they are staring at one another.
If the players approach they will witness the
materialization of the Wendigo.
Each of the hunters begins to vomit dark
red liquid that spills into the center of their
small circle. As you watch on you witness a
being form from the snow covered in
blood. It stands at seven feet tall. Long
disproportionate arms slump before its
hide skin and hooved legs. On its head a
skull of a Reindeer sits where red eyes
shine within the darkness of the skull.
The Wendigo now hides using the snow the
players are standing on.
The possessed hunters now separate and
begin charging wildly towards you. Their
nature is beastly and they appear to have
no human sense left.
For the hunters use a commoner stat block.
Development. If the hunters are
incapacitated and not killed they can have
their possession from the Wendigo removed
by the adventurers killing the Wendigo.
WENDIGO BATTLE

WENDIGO

Tall and fierce, this creature is of a large size. It

has long arms with claws, a thick hide covering
its body, legs with hooves and a creature’s skull
where its head should be. This could be part of
the creature or another it has found in place of
its head.

What it wants. The wendigo will not stop until

it has corrupted all beings it can. It will use
every technique it can to make the players
either die or succumb to its will of canabalism.
