All Hallows Eve: Regrowth

It’s still crazy to think that we first played this adventure over 5 years ago. And with each passing
year this fun and twisted Halloween Adventure for 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons has continued to
grow. After updating and running it for a fifth year as All Hallows Eve: ReGrowth, my playgroup can’t
wait to see what ridiculous terrors await in dark this time around. All Hallows Eve: ReEnactment is
the sixth variation of this adventure. As usual it has been expanded with new monstrosities, new
mechanics, new event items, and new locations whilst maintaining the continuation of the
adventurer’s story from the previous editions. I hope you enjoy!

Caution is always advised when engaging
these two. Unlike many of the other horrors,
Alex and Axel both specialize in ranged attacks
and have actions designed to keep them out
of melee range of the players.

The blade brothers should engage in hit and

run tactics while making use of their ranged
pack tactics. Additionally thanks to the
environment, the twins will never run out of
knives to use. This will often force the players
to chase them around the battlefield and also
give ranged users a challenge.

Players where possible should make the most

of ranged attacks or effects that will reduce
the movement of the twins. Focusing damage
on one twin to remove them from combat is
also a valid strategy.

APPENDIX J: Random
Encounters
Each point of interest in Hallowgrave has been
assigned a zone that corresponds to one of
the following tables. These are random
encounters that can be used to make
exploring or adventuring in the Hallow more
random and exciting for players.

This rule is completely optional. If wishing to

use the random encounters I have found it is
easiest to roll on the corresponding table
whenever travelling to a point of interest for
the first time or if players wish to spend time
exploring a specific zone.

Corpse Carnival Encounters

ROLL Random Encounter
(1D6)
1 A flamboyant zombie is handing out inflated organs to patrons of the carnival. It will offer
you either an inflated stomach, kidney, liver or lung for 10 CCP. It is cool, but useless.
2 An extremely muscular minotaur is challenging patrons to arm wrestle for 5 CCP. A DC22
Strength check will earn you a Bull Ring. Failing will leave you feeling sore and defeated.
3 A nearby tent exudes noxious fumes and colourful explosions sporadically erupt from its
interior. If the party checks inside they will be caught in one of the explosions. During the
kerfuffle a small creature rushes out and drops 2D10 Boneworks items before disappearing.
4 Some smaller monstrosities are kicking around a leathery head shaped like a ball. The head
seems to be muttering numbers. It appears to be keeping score in whatever game this is.
5 Amidst a small crowd a ghoul is demonstrating its ability to juggle heads. Unfortunately for
the patrons when the ghoul runs out of heads for the act, it will add some extra’s from the
crowd. Don’t worry they will be reattached later. The party should not stick around long.
6 A tiny sized imp is riding around on a spider legged keg offering free Pumpkin Punch.

Hallowgrave Hospital Encounters

ROLL Random Encounter
(1D6)
1 The ghost of a nurse is convinced that one of the players has escaped the ward and will
chase them around trying to drag them back, casting the sleep spell 3 times before giving up
and going away.
2 A vampire is complaining about a severe toothache. If the party heals them or uses a healing
item, they will be given a rare Vampiric Tooth.
3 One of the party is pushed by a ghostly nurse into an operating room claiming that they
need to reattach a zombies arm. DC18 Sleight of Hand.
4 A new mother Cloaker kindly asks the party to help round up her 1D8 children. DC13
Athletics for each. They are given 2 Pumpkin Punch for helping.
5 The doors at the end of a hallway never seem to get any closer no matter how far the party
runs towards it. Walking backwards gets them straight to the door.
6 Unearthly screams can be heard behind a door to the side of a hall. The door has no handle

162 | P a g e
Property of JR-K
 to open it with. On the other side is a Zombie Doctor performing a throat check up on a
Banshee patient.

Half-Moon Woods Encounters

ROLL Random Encounter
(1D4)
1 An odd looking tree starts moving but only when the party isn’t looking at it. It starts
stealing the player’s coins or CCP with a +8 to Sleight of Hand checks. If caught it will give all
the stolen goods back plus 4D6 CCP.
2 A group of living roots trips and binds up the players. Strength Check of DC15 to escape or
AC13, HP 10.
3 A hungry raven is following the party ominously. If the players offer it food it will trade them

players back to the town square for 5 CCP.

you a Blood Flask. If you lose they will take your pants. Challenge DC15 Performance check.

it will give them 1 CCP before sprinting off and blowing up the nearest building.
3 While travelling, the party seems to end up back where they started.
4 A severed hand sneaks up on the party and makes a dash for it after stealing 4D6 CCP from
random players. HP 1, AC 18, Speed 40.
5 An animated manhole cover latches onto one party member’s foot and refuses to let go. DC
14 Strength to pull it off. Speed reduced to half while it is attached.
6 A single dark raincloud follows the party while they are travelling outside. It is constantly
providing a light drizzle and every 1D12 minutes it lets off a boom of thunder.

interested she will give the party a 5CCP coupon.
8 The party disturbs an aggressive swarm of bats (MM p.337).
9 A business zombie approaches the party trying to sell death insurance for 100 CCP each.
While in the Hallow, if a party member has death insurance they will automatically stabilize
at the beginning of their next turn after being downed.
10 The party finds a mysterious bucket in the street containing 1D4 Sickly Sweet Candies.
11 A ghoul throws up on a player and apologizes profusely. Offering 10 CCP for the cleaning.
The Player must make a DC14 Constitution check or be poisoned for 1 hour.

Outer Hallowgrave Encounters

ROLL Random Encounter

refusing to move. It will take at least 3 players with DC16 Strength checks to move the beast.
If they help the farmer gives the party a Bovine Bullwhip.

party does not give them candy, they will throw rotten eggs, making them smell so bad the

163 | P a g e
Property of JR-K
 party automatically fails stealth checks until they are washed.
3 The pale essence of a spectral figure dances slowly under the moonlight. If the figure is
disturbed they will flee. If the party waits until the figure finishes and bows they will be
given a Deathly Bouquet.
4 At a fork in the road is a small weathered stone shrine. There are fresh pumpkins stacked
around it in offering. If a player leaves a pumpkin by the shrine they will receive a small
blessing granting 5% more CCP (rounded down) obtained when defeating horrors during the
event.
5 Two cats cross the path of the party. One cat turns left and one turns right. Following the
left cat will give each member of the party disadvantage on their next roll. Following the
right cat will give each member of the party advantage on their next roll.
6 A heavily clothed and heavy booted humanoid is pulling a small cart laid with covered
corpses. They ask if the players have any dead to bring out. If they do he will take them
away free of charge, but Living ones cost 25 CCP. All the bodies are left outside the
Hallowgrave Cemetery.
7 2D4 ravaged ghoul’s (MM p.48) ambush the party demanding they hand over any candy
corn or be eaten alive. 2D12 CCP treasure.
8 A young vampire is moon gazing on a nearby hill. Unfortunately the vampire is completely
blind and unable to see the moon. If a player sits and vividly describes the moon with a
DC17 Performance check the vampire will give them a valuable Vial of Vampire Tears.
9 The party passes by a scarecrow cradling a clay jug. If the party stop, the scarecrow silently
offers them a swig from the pungent smelling jug. Any player who drinks from the jug will
gain True Sight up to 60ft for 1 hour.
10 The party feel as if something is following them. But each time they turn around there is
nothing to be seen. A DC18 Perception check will reveal that an eyeball like slime has
attached itself to the back of a random party member. The eyeball slime is harmless and will
grant it’s carrier a +10 to Perception, but it will flee at any sign of danger or if taken off.

Terra Marsh Encounters

ROLL Random Encounter

elsewhere in the Terra Marsh. The party is now lost and require a DC16 Survival check to
once again find their way.
4 The party comes across a dimly lit grove where 1D8 large yellow flowers are each growing a
single candy corn from their centre. It takes a DC15 Dexterity check to snatch a candy corn
away before the flower shrivels shut and refuses to open back up regardless of damage.
5 While trekking through the marsh the party is plagued by 1D4 Swarm of Insects (MM p.338)
