Something moves in the darkness between the trees. You’re not alone in this cursed forest. Branches creek, rough bark scrapes and roots writhe just out of sight. Will these wretched creatures find you ready?

Spend a short while in this forest and your gut will warn you even where your good sense fails. A sense of unspeakable wrongness hangs thick as the canopy overhead, trailing tendrils that tug ancestral memories from your bones. The twigs snapping beneath your feet are not twigs. And the prickling at the back of your neck is not from the cold.

In an Epic Encounters first, Forest of the Damned was created by guest writer, Jason Charles Miller.

Run this set as a thrilling standalone encounter, as part of an existing roleplaying campaign, or combine with the paired boss encounter, Glade of the Evil Oak, for a mini campaign that’ll have your players rooted to their seats!

Inside this box is everything you need to run roleplaying encounters against this ferocious foliage. Perfect for new and experienced players, Forest of the Damned is ready to play, right away, as part of a new or existing campaign. Turn a walk in the woods into a heart-stopping encounter and test your adventurers against the ferocious foliage lurking in the undergrowth.

Discover a complete, D&D 5e-compatible adventure-in-a-box ready to unleash on your roleplayers. Including a fully-statted, scaleable encounter with story hooks and tips, a double-sided battle map, and 17 highly detailed miniatures, you can be ready to run in minutes.
