 I am inspired and influenced by the game Diablo. I love the dark and grim setting
that it presents. So I created the setting Hallowfell to present the same type of
atmosphere. Listed below are some of the other PDF’s I have created, and you can
get all of these on DrivethruRPG. Thank you for purchasing and I hope you enjoy

Synopsis
Deep in the Thawe Peak Mountains,
e
something has driven out the wolves,
and treacherous snowstorms are
becoming more frequent. A dwarven
village nearby has been attacked several
fil
times by the glacier nixies, demanding
the Arctic Spike to be handed over to
them.
Gunther “Snowbringer”, wielder of
the Arctic Spike, Ruler of Whitecrest,
has gone missing during his hunting
village. The town is hearing rumors of a
beast hiding out in the Thawe Peaks is
sending out his minions to find the
Arctic Spike. They are worried that
Gunther and the Arctic Spike might
have been taken by the glacier nixies so
the beast can complete his diabolical
crusade.
Rumors are spreading that the beast
in the Thawe Peaks has been given the
name “Frostwalker” and believe he is
responsible for the frequent
snowstorms and the spreading of the icy
tundra through the Baneful Swamps.
Frostwalker wants to turn Hallowfell
into an ice age.
The city of Whitecrest and the
dwarven village are looking for heroes
to hunt down this Frostwalker to stop
his rime frost corruption and rescue
Gunther and bring him back alive.

The Frostwalker (a shaman frost
troll) has captured Gunther
“Snowbringer”, ruler of Whitecrest,
and confiscated Snowbringer’s prized
weapon the Arctic Spike. Along with
e
Gunther, the dwarven ruler in captivity,
a frost sylphen has also been captured
to complete the frostwalker’s quest to
pl
spread frost and snow to the baneful
swamps and rule his new kingdom. The
Frostwalker’s minions, the Glacier
Nixies, have learned that the tip of the
Arctic Spike covered in blood from a
virgin frost sylphen, can pierce the
m
Umberia oaken tree during the Blood
Moon phase which then can transform
the Baneful swamps into a snow
covered tundra. The Blood Moon rises
in 3 days, and the party has 24 hours to
Sa
stop the Frostwalker before he slays
Gunther and the frost sylphen and sets
out into the baneful swamps.
Ambushing his lair will lessen the
chance of his escape. His lair is in the
Thawe Peaks beyond Whitecrest. In
addition to rescue Gunther and the
Sylphen and return the Arctic Spike to
Gunter.

Frostwalker is a 5th level adventure for
3-4 players. This adventure can be
plugged into any Iceland, snowy region,
or tundra location in your realm. But
mainly this is designed for the
Hallowfell Campaign setting with the
use of Hallowfell creatures that reside
in Hallowfell. Depending on how the
game goes (the Players) and how fast
each of the battle turns last, expect
about 6 hours of game time to
complete.
Hooks:
• The PC’s are in a tavern enjoying
good food and gambling when a
dwarven hunter stumbles in,
covered in blood and collapses
onto the ground. He mumbles
“They took Snowbringer”, he
then turns lifeless as his hand
rolls off his chest releasing a
necklace made of razor sharp
teeth.

• Gunther’s wife, Elthia, enters the
tavern looking for her husband
with a worried look on her face
and the party overhears the
conversation between Elthia and
the barkeep, Gunther,
Snowbringer , set out yesterday
morning on a hunting expedition
and has not returned yet. She
hires the PC’s to find her
husband and return him safely.
Gunther stated he was heading
towards Thawe Peak to go
hunting. Elthia offers the party
e
200gp for this quest. Elthia does
recognize the dead hunter and
states that he is from the dwarven
village.
pl
• Mr. and Mrs. Gravish’s root
cellar was broken into, and all
the townsfolk meet was stolen.
Fish, ashensquid, snow cats, and
other exotic meats were stored in
m
these root cellars for the town to
survive on but now it’s all gone.
The thieves left some tracks, and
they lead towards Thawe Peaks
region. The thieves’ tracks
resemble Glacier Nixies.
Sa
Mr. Gravish offers the PC’s
50gp. to investigate and to
retrieve their food supply for the
town.
• The barkeep states he has close
friends in the dwarven village
near Harpfish Lake in the
Thawe Peaks, he is worried for
5
his friend’s safety and would like
to hire the PC’s to investigate the
dwarven village and see if they
are safe. He will pay 50gp to the
party to investigate.

If the party decides to investigate in the
city of Whitecrest and starts asking the

doesn’t belong to them. It’s
surprising how the dwarven

fended them off, considering the
dwarves were outnumbered.
