Now for the next Zine of the year I present, in single page zine format, Wolfberg’s Gift. I still believe that these provide DMs a lot more freedom to tinker with it how they want and open up the adventures to be more free formed and flowing than the larger booklet zines.
There is references to the blog nights which are D&D centric (regarding Friday night’s Stat-blocks) but this adventure can be used system agnostic more so than my regular Zines. As always Kobold fight club can be used to quickly balance an encounter for Dungeons and Dragons and Tetra-cube provides the stat-blocks for many of my D&D creatures.
So I hope you enjoy this weeks adventure, Wolfberg’s Gift, and that all your rolls are made with advantage.
Wolfberg’s Gift

The party knocked the coded sequence on the warehouse door, stepping into the dimly lit space where guards and hired escorts gathered. Their mission seemed straightforward – escort the king’s enchanted wagon to Wolfhall. The wagon itself, a blend of dwarven craftsmanship and gnomish engineering, pulsed with strange magic. Though its contents were unknown, the reward was substantial, with a portion withheld until the king’s wizard inspected the protective spells. However, unease settled among them as the transport guild’s captain revealed a troubling detail – a counter bounty had been placed, offering a hefty sum to anyone who could claim the wagon’s cargo.
Trouble began before they even left the warehouse. A disguised thief attempted to break into the enchanted wagon, but the group quickly caught and subdued him. Under questioning, the thief revealed that the bounty for stealing the wagon’s contents was double their own payment, shaking the group’s confidence. The danger ahead was far greater than expected, and what had seemed like a routine escort mission now felt like an impending battle. Handing the thief over to the authorities, the true test began as they set out towards Wolfhall.
Among the guards was Ymerman, a palace soldier hoping to redeem himself after failing to protect a prized foal. Many palace guards had similar stories of past failures, adding tension to the mission. The attacks grew fiercer—one guard was gravely injured, and a mercenary lost a limb in an ambush near the market. Even local guards fought alongside them, showing how desperate people were to claim the wagon. Outside the city, the danger only worsened. Traps littered the road, passing wagons launched surprise attacks, and an eerie sense of being watched lingered. Captain Edward Argent and his second-in-command, Anna, led with unwavering precision, arranging fresh horses in hopes of reaching Wolfhall ahead of schedule.
The party arrived in Hollowglenn, a small farming village, to collect replacement horses. But as they pulled in, firebolts and necromantic magic struck the guards, and zombies lurched from the buildings, attacking those protecting the wagon. After escaping the battle, they found momentary peace. But as night fell, they discovered guard Buhfed sneaking away. He confessed that the king had placed the bounty himself—not for the cargo, but for the violence surrounding it. The magic on the wagon wasn’t just protective – it allowed the royals to watch the chaos unfold. Buhfed warned that the king planned to leak their location, ensuring the final stretch was the deadliest.
Captain Argent and Anna devised an alternate route, one that would slow them down but allow no prolonged rest. As they travelled, the true reason for the path became clear – large carved stones disrupted magic, shielding them from the wagon’s tracking spells. It seemed they had finally gained an advantage. But then, the first howls of the hounds echoed through the air, forcing them to prepare for battle once more.
