A Dark Reflection

You were sleeping soundly in the village where you stayed, but when you woke up, it was all bleak, dark and ominous. You could hear it, smell it, and feel it in your bones. When you looked or went out, you realized you were not in your home plane any more.

What's more, hundreds of dark-clad warriors were all around, watching you and others confront reality.

As you try to comprehend what this means and where you are, a gray-green clad mystic walks up the street to greet you.

"You are now in Dratreme, our village in the Shadowfell. If you wish to return to your homes, listen to what we have to say."

This is a one-shot game, but can last quite long depending how much the players and I enjoy it. I didn't even define where the village is where you were sleeping, so who knows what happens when the PCs manage to return 'home'. I have an exploration and other larger-scale encounter system for this game: often rolls are not going represent success or failure, but different amounts of progress. Time will matter, the Shadowfell has its way of gutting visitors' souls, so choose wisely what you explore and how long.
