Unveil a Sinister Conspiracy in this Gripping Dungeons & Dragons 5e Mystery Adventure

What secrets lurk in the shadowy alleys of Ironwic? With Sherlock Holmes missing and Dr. Watson in peril, will you rise to the challenge?

 

In this thrilling homage to the classic Sherlock Holmes story "The Greek Interpreter," your party is thrust into a web of deceit and danger that threatens the very fabric of the city.

 

A codebreaker named Mr. Melas has been abducted and forced to solve a cryptic cipher for mysterious captors. His only clue: a masked prisoner hidden behind a plaster façade, tortured and desperate for rescue. Summoned by the enigmatic Mycroft Holmes to the secretive Diogenes Club, you must step into the shoes of the world's greatest detective.

 

Navigate Ironwic's treacherous streets, where vampires and mechanized ghouls serve unseen masters, and steam-powered industry intertwines with arcane magic. Confront deadly traps, outwit cunning adversaries, and piece together the enigmatic Dancing Men Cipher to uncover a chilling revelation.

 

But be cautious—the notorious Moriarty is pulling the strings, and your party may be walking into a deadly trap. Will you unravel the mystery before it's too late?

 

This Adventure Features:

  • A blend of steampunk and gothic horror elements

  • Unique steampunk monsters including steamcaster mages and cogbound ghouls 

  • An immersive storyline that ties into the larger Ironwic™ Mystery Series
