How to run Cinderclaw Harrower
Cinderclaw Harrower is a cr 8 fiend for Dungeons & Dragons. Drop it into any urban scene; the statblock above is free to add to your compendium in the app, and the one-shot below gives you somewhere to run it.
Where it begins
- 1
Scorched claw marks appear on the city gates each new moon.
- 2
A fire cult claims their patron walks the alleys at dusk.
- 3
A smith's forge burns cold until a debt is paid.
Ember Debt
A pact-brokered devil enforces a forgotten debt, burning the livelihoods of those who refuse to pay. The party must uncover the original contract, protect the victims, and face the Harrower in a forge-lit alley.
The Blackened Door
A metalworker's shop is burned from the inside, yet nothing around it is touched. A soot-stamped notice of collection flutters on the door, and a victim begs you to keep their family safe until dusk.
Set up the investigation and a hard deadline. The party can follow the Harrower's pattern, protect the victims at sundown, and learn about the original contract from neighbors or records.
