Cl-aroo!

Cl-aroo! is a horror-mystery one-shot adventure for 3rd-4th level characters. 

It's basically Clue with lycanthrope monsters. 

Characters are invited to a dinner at the "One Away from the Answer" house outside of Eveningstar, where it's revealed they're being blackmailed.

What starts out as a mystery turns into a creature feature horror as the staff reveals their true, savage machinations.

House

There are eight rooms to explore in the house, each with clues that slowly reveal the host's true intentions.

Character Prep

Before play, players should come up with a fun, pun name for their PC and a secret that could be sold for blackmail. Nothing serious, just something that could get them in trouble. They will reveal it to the DM, who will assign it to one of six NPCs. The character will have an opportunity to confront the one who sold their secret, but they may end up facing a lycanthrope, or something worse.

Offer

Characters at some point may be given the opportunity to become a werewolf. Whether or not they accept that offer is up to them.
