This is a Non-Adventures League Adventure

Commentary:

One day in 2017, my friend Ellen told me that she did not like D&D because of all the combat.  I knew that D&D had more to offer.  And so I took it as a challenge to show her that D&D could be fun.  

A couple years went by and I hadn't done anything towards that.  But then I came across a Dungeon Dudes episode on YouTube where they mentioned that a siege is a great one-shot adventure idea.  I then remembered Ellen's comment and I immediately accepted that challenge.  A siege would make a great setting for a mystery - the PCs have to solve it to lift the siege.  I chose an inn as the focus location as inns are a common trope in D&D.  Now in the process of figuring out the mystery, I came up with a fun, very mythic feeling, world.  

Et voilà!  A The Siege of the Lonely Maiden Inn was born.

Ironically Ellen has yet to play it.
