Assault on the Umbral Fortress | New 5th-Level Adventure for Fifth Edition
🕑 Added 2020-04-22 16:23:36 +0000 UTCThe Demiplane of Shadow is home to countless spiteful creatures whose cruelty is limited only by their imagination. While it's unusual for shadowkind to band together, occasionally a singular goal will arise that will draw multiple forces together. When this happens, the races of shadow might build a fortress of shadow. United under one dark roof, the creatures of shadow can plan, prepare, and execute their depraved designs.
Where to Add This Encounter
This side trek is designed for three to seven 5th- to 10th-level characters and is optimized for five characters with an average party level (APL) of 5. The Shadowfell Fortress design works best when it is placed at the front of a larger dungeon. Because it requires the characters to charge headfirst into multiple waves of creatures, the characters will need to have access to rest following the siege or, at the very least, plenty of healing supplies.

@DM Dave, just pinging this again! Would love your thoughts on this!

Hi! Excited to use this. A question: I have a VERY STRONG party of soon to be 7th level characters who have been on an undead adventure, and this is JUST WHAT I NEEDED! So, first, thank you! Second, if I were using the Assault on the Haunted Fortress encounter, suggestions for how to tailor it down? (I'm trying to triangulate between the Umbral fortress and the Haunted Fortress and happy for any ideas/suggestions. (I'm new to DMing second tier dnd).
Nevermind, I found it! I had just downloaded the wrong tier and only got the Umbral Fortress pdf. Downloaded the correct zip file and it had it all in there. Definitely looking forward to getting into some heavy siege combat!
I'm a bit confused on this, it says that Assault on the Umbral Fortress is for level 5, Assault on the Haunted Fortress is for level 11, and Assault on the Infernal Fortress is for level 17, but when I open the pdf, it only has the adventure for Umbral Fortress. It says that anyone at the Trinkets level or above will have access to the other, higher level versions, but I'm not able to find any info for those. Am I overlooking something somewhere? Thanks!
