Hello and welcome, adventurers and Game Masters!

I am very happy to announce the release of "Wayward Maiden", a brand new one-shot adventure for use in your OSRIC; 1E and 2E compatible; and retro-clone campaigns. This high-level adventure is intended for 4-6 stalwart adventurers of 6th-8th level. In this adventure the party is called on to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the Shield Maiden of Iasgairen. The young warrior maiden has been kidnapped by scurrilous pirates who intend on executing her. Can your players save the hero of Iasgairen before it's too late?

Synopsis: While visiting the coastal village of Iasgairen, which lies along the sea on the southern coast of The Red Eagle Barony, the party is asked to investigate the disappearance of the town's leader, the Shield Maiden of Iasgairen, whose given name is Eimhear Iskara.  Living as they do, far from their nation's capitol, these hearty sea folk are vulnerable to attack, but the Shield Maiden has repeatedly lead her forces to success against pirate invaders. She is a symbol of bravery and self reliance to her people. 

Because of her opposition to their plans, the pirate captains who prowl these waters placed a bounty on her head, offering a hefty sum to anyone who brought her to them alive. They plan to torture her and gain information on the Barony’s forces before killing her and displaying her broken body to intimidate the villagers. The merciless pirate known as Pegleg Peggy, feared by sailors and fishermen throughout this Realm, decided to claim that bounty and has kidnapped the Maiden.

A local fisherman spied one of Peggy’s goons heading back to their hideout: an old smugglers den hidden beneath a natural cave system in the wooded area near to Iasgairen. The place is shunned by locals as rumours claim an actual dragon dwells therein! Word in the underworld is that Peggy is expected to make the the exchange shortly. So if there is any hope of saving the Shield Maiden, the players will have to strike quickly! Are your players up to the challenge?

Table of Contents and Adventure Maps

SO4_toc SO4_map

This supplement contains a completely original one-shot adventure, ready for immediate use with very little preparation by the GM or the players! This book contains great Old School art and maps, done in the old blue & white style, with detailed encounters for each area. An Old School hex map of adventure’s locale, The Red Eagle Barony, is also included, with information on geography, local settlements, and showing areas for further exploration. Lastly, the scenario includes a carefully crafted set of 6 Pre-generated Characters; each of them is presented with all necessary stats and gear, ready for immediate use by players or the GM. As a bonus these PCs are specially laid in a handy mini character format, so the GM can simply print out the page, cut out the sheets, and hand them out to their players.

This book features 20 pages of excitement and thrills, with players facing some of the mightiest of foes, and it is sure to please discerning GMs and players everywhere!

PLUS you also get a free copy of my 2021 Starry Knight Press Catalog, which has information on all of my modules and supplements, as well as maps of the known portions of my campaign world of Terrans, and bonus content (new monsters and magic items for OSR/5E) from my published books!

Finally, I would like to acknowledge that this is my twelfth book released this year, a challenging goal I set myself and one which I do not think I could have met without the support of my patrons here. Thank you for your support of Starry Knight Press!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
