2 History of Benson Manor The Benson family manor has stood for generations on the outskirts of the village of Ballynoe. The manor has fallen into disrepair, wolves stalk the grounds, and the last of the Benson line, Lord Robert, has not been seen in over a decade. He is assumed dead by the locals and due the wild animals that regular drag off wayward travelers, none from Ballynoe have ventured to check. The truth, however, is far more sinister. On the night for a terrible storm, an old woman sought shelter at the manor. Lord Benson took pity on the crone, inviting her to warm herself by the fire in his den and ordering his servants to prepare a meal. To repay his generosity, the old woman placed a curse on Lord Benson, using an enchanted gem to bind him to her will. Together they imprisoned the servants. One by one they were used to fuel the hags dark rituals, extending her unnaturally long life and transforming the kindly Lord Benson into the monstrous creature he is today. The accursed gem resides somewhere in the manor. A cruel joke by the hag Belladonna, Lord Benson is bound to protect the one thing that can lift his curse. Getting the party there A young human Scout by the name of Yast has come from the village of Ballynoe seeking brave adventures. His bride to be and her merchant father never returned from a recent trading trip, their upturned wagon found off the road through Benson Forest. The locals believe the pair have been dragged off by wolves. Yast they may have been driven off the road during a recent storm and sought shelter at the nearby Benson Manor. He begs the party to search for any signs of his beloved. will follow closely until tha players reach the end of the forrest. The forest comes to an end at a shear cliff. A long stone bridge crosses the valley below. On the opposite side of the bridge stands a 10 foot tall iron gate set into a stone wall. A massive gothic house stands beyond the gate. The valley floor is a 200 foot drop. The iron gate is unlocked and pushed open easily. The squeal of the rusty gate echoes through the valley below. You enter a court of cracked and worn stone. The darken manor looms before you and stone gargoyles leer down at you from ledges high above. 10 foot tall iron banded doors stand at the portal to the manor. There are 3 Gargoyles perched along the roof of the manor. The will not attack unless a character attempts to leave the house while Belladonna still lives. The iron banded double doors are not locked and lead to the south entrance to area 1. Approaching the manor The road east of Ballynoe is well traveled and winds through a thick forest. Trees uprooted by a recent storm lie on either side of the road. A wagon lays on its side around a bend up ahead. The wagon has a broken wheel and whatever animals tasked with pulling it are long gone. Searching the surrounding area will reveal an overgrown road that has not been used in many years. Any character that makes a successful DC 12 Survival (Wisdom) check will find signs of recent movement down this path. Characters will need to proceed by foot and the entire road counts as difficult terrain. The sun begins to set as you make your way down the overgrown road. Wolves howl from the woods. As you continue on the path, the howls seem to get closer and more numerous. If the players stop to rest or investigate the surrounding woods, they will be attacked by 2d6 Wolves. The wolves 2
