Summary: Each player receives a strange and mysterious invitation from an unknown source. It looks incredibly expensive - heavy black paper with gold designs on the boarder. It states:





“High Mage Archaron commands you to attend a very unique birthday party for Lady Belladonna Archon. Terror, humiliation, perhaps even murd er will be the entertainment. With 10,000 gold pieces paid to those who survive the night at The Death House.”





  Each of them take a moment to consider this situation and see if they know anything about this Death House. Saff recalls that the house is about 3 days northeast of Waterdeep, and that a d eath cult was once based there lead by a man called Gustav Durst. Durst supposedly went mad after his wife committed suicide. He also recalls that about 30 people died there after a huge fire abou 100 years ago. Ulrich sends out his retainers who come back empty-handed, and Sulvarex finds he has never heard o f this Death House. Voron realizes that over the last century a number of people have gone missing in the vicinity or been found dead inside the Death House, and that the dead people were found in horrible and painful situations.
