Dark Clouds Over Castle Talbot for 5e

The Lord and Lady Talbot are the last of their line, wealthy owners of a remote but productive silver mine. Over the past decade or so, things have changed. The Talbots have become reclusive, packs of wolves howl throughout the nights, and people have vanished without a trace.

The Talbots hide dark secrets. Approximately twenty years ago, Lady Talbot was cursed with lycanthropy and subsequently cured with a simple remove curse spell. Unknown to her at the time, she was newly pregnant with triplets. The remove curse spell did not convey to the triplets, and all three of her children were tragically born with the curse of lycanthropy. Only a wish spell could cure them, and the Talbots, although quite wealthy, were not wealthy enough to pay for three castings of wish. Lady Talbot’s grief consumed her, driving her to seek the aid of dark powers in a futile effort to bring the children back. Her single minded pursuit of a cure for her three children led her to make pacts with dark powers. Lady Talbot was betrayed by those powers and transformed into a ferocious and bloodthirsty vampire-like creature called a nosferatu. Lord Talbot’s mind broke when he saw his wife’s vile new form. He used his alchemical skills in a twisted effort to make “children” who would be immune to lycanthropy forever.

This adventure is compatible with 5e.
