The Pale Shepherd is a one-shot adventure for Sandy Petersen’s Cthulhu Mythos for 5e. It can act as a curtain-raiser to the longer Ghoul Island campaign or be played as part of any ongoing fantasy-based Mythos game.

It is intended for a party of four 1st-2nd level characters — several pre-generated characters are provided in the adventure’s appendix.

“A band of weary adventurers learns that evil can lurk in the most hospitable of places when they seek refuge at the Pale Shepherd Inn. To survive a night of terror, the adventurers must risk their lives and sanity to face the horrors of the mythos. Pray that dawn comes soon.”
