As relatively new adventurers you find yourselves in a tavern.

There you see a job posted on the board:

Please help me find my missing skeleton.

Weave through the city on a mission to find Steve the Skeleton. Help shopkeepers along the way to follow the trail of the missing skeleton and return him to the wizard who hired you.

This is the perfect game for folks who love role play, investigating and a series of skills check challenges and one easy puzzle.

Ideal for starting a campaign or as a stand-alone one-shot with a light-hearted feel.

About The Case of the Missing Skeleton

 A light and wholesome fantasy one-shot for 2 to 5 level 3 adventurers, plus GM

The city of Four Rivers is the hub of trade and industry on the continent of Ouro. Built on the banks where the four major rivers merge, this city is a melting pot of cultures and commerce.

In this one-shot, you visit some of the colourful local stores and meet the influential wizard who can become a patron to the party should you wish to use this as a jumping-off point to a longer campaign.

In this one-shot the wizard offers the party a light quest in exchange for a treasure.

Take your players on a tour of colourful stores in the city of Four Rivers as they complete a series of skills-based tasks in order to help shop keepers and gain information on where Steve the Skeleton may be.

This game includes a light puzzle and an optional combat encounter. It’s perfect for GMs who are new to the game and new players who are still getting used to the mechanics of the game.
