Bloodthirsty Garden [HBA-4]

Halo of the Blood Angel: Bloodthirsty Garden [HBA-4]

A 3-6 hour 5th Edition adventure for level 14 characters.

This adventure is part of Halo of the Blood Angel, a level 11-16 adventure path for 5th Edition.

Vampire nuns are kidnapping common folk and dragging them back to Hibiscus Abbey, which was once the center of worship for a hungry nature spirit called That Which Grows Beneath. In those overgrown halls, the Red Humor, a fearsome witherhenge druid, performs awful sacrifices to resurrect the Abbess Belladonna, an ancient vampire lord. Can the party stop the Red Humor and Abbess Belladonna before it's too late? Or will the Shadepoint Mountains be swathed in thorns, its people slaughtered by vampires cloaked in rose petals?

 This adventure is the fourth installment of Halo of the Blood Angel, an adventure path designed to take characters from level 11 to level 16. Halo of the Blood Angel centers around a cult called the Creed of the Crimson Tear whose leaders, the Four Humours, are ushering in the apotheosis of a violent and bloodthirsty angel. These adventures can be run individually or tied together into a campaign about stopping the Creed of the Crimson Tear from enacting their deadly plots.

Hibiscus Abbey Dungeon, filled with occult monsters and vampire magic

A Two-Stage Boss Fight for Level 14 Characters
