The Covered Bridge
The Covered Bridge is an adventure designed for a party of four to six characters of 4th to 6th level. Any character classes work in this adventure, but the difficulty will vary depending on those classes. Many of the opponents the characters may fight require magic weapons to strike; you may want to either include additional magic weapons to the treasure listed, or save this adventure until the characters have magic weapons of their own. The adventure is concerned with solving the centuries-old murder of a historic hero. Within the adventure, the characters are caught up in the haunted memories of the ghostly knight and help him to accomplish his heroic deeds. While doing so, the party becomes familiar with his world and the murder suspects, picking up clues to their motivations and actions along the way. At the end of the adventure, an enraged spirit confronts the characters and demands that they name his killer. If they can do it, they are richly rewarded; both in treasure and the knowledge that they let a good man finally find rest. If they fail, they must face the chilling wrath of the deathless phantom.
The adventure occurs in a little-traveled valley off the main roads that was once the prosperous fief of the Loga family. It fell into ruin and abandonment long ago and has since become a part of another lord’s larger domain, though it remains uninhabited, its fields fallow. Of the few travelers it sees, many of them tend to disappear mysteriously (no doubt, attributed to bandits or wild animals), so it is even more desolate as a result. If you are playing this as part of the Lost Lands campaign setting by Frog God Games, then Saymere Valley lies north of Nains on the western fringe of the Kingdom of Foere, in the rolling ground where the Elderwood meets the Old Tors. The old road once provided a means of travel between Nains and distant Panetoth in the Grand Duchy of Reme but has long since fallen out of regular use.
