In Sympathy for the Devil, a group of level-3 adventurers meets Daniel Sands, the sacred healer. The former priest worked as a doctor in the region and one day was visited by Yal, a devil. Clever Yal promised Daniel real power and magic to cure and heal people. The human accepted for his only goal was to help others.
This adventure shall test minds and hearts. The healer and Yal become one, and they are surrounded by dozens of followers that have formed a cult. They were all crippled and withered old people waiting for death; Daniel gave them back their health and a purpose in life. But their health comes with a price; a subconscious loyalty to the devil. Daniel's entourage will do everything for him. Plus, killing the healer would undo every cure and return the townsfolk to their former state of health.
This adventure can easily be placed in any campaign setting. Sympathy for the Devil can be played as an independent one-shot or as a cool chapter in your campaign setting. The whole adventure has an estimated duration of 4 to 6 hours.
This section provides a synopsis of the chapters and how the adventure is most likely to play out:
1. The Flustered Lynx. The characters arrive at the tavern near the forest. Targo Mineman tells them about the available job and the recent disappearances. Helga Fritz introduces herself to the group as well. She looks for her missing grandfather. He left two weeks ago.
2. A Lair in the Forest. The characters delve into the forest to find the so-called miraculous healer. They find the house beside an abandoned quarry. A dark tunnel serpents its way into the ground. The healer and his followers have settled underground; in the mine below.
3. A Devil in Disguise. The characters face Daniel Sands and Yal, the devil, in the same body. Their followers are the peasants and farmers they have healed. They must make a choice and deal with the consequences.
