Desolate Locations Encounter Pack

A pack of 3 tabletop encounters for 5e

Not every horror needs a full adventure—sometimes all it takes is the right place, the right moment, and the wrong thing waiting in the dark. This encounter pack from The Midnight Archive delivers three eerie, drop-in locations designed to unnerve your players and enrich your world with a creepy atmosphere.

Inside, you’ll find:

• The Haunted Forest — Twisting paths, whispering trees, and a presence that hunts the living.
• The Abandoned Village — Empty streets and shuttered homes, but something still lingers in the silence.
• The Foggy Dockside — Black waters slap against rotting planks while shadows drift beneath the surface.

Each encounter is written to slot easily into any ongoing campaign or to stand alone as a short, chilling side trek. Perfect for one-night scares, spooky session openers, or to lace your world with dread between larger adventures.
