First Watch
The patrol was supposed to be routine.
Six miles out on the Grey Road from Greyhaven. One overnight shift maintaining the torches at a waystation. The assignment is simple. The paperwork is already filed. The night is not what anyone expected.
First Watch is a two-session introductory adventure for levels 1–2. It is designed to teach the mechanics of Sunderwake through play — the torch, the dark, and the things that wait in it.
Overview
First Watch is a tightly structured, two-session adventure that works as both a standalone mission and the official introductory scenario for the Sunderwake Quick Start Guide. It puts the party on a torch-maintenance patrol that goes wrong in all the right ways.
The adventure is designed to introduce new players to Sunderwake's core loops: torch management, combat in darkness, rest decisions, and the basic shape of Warden work. It is efficient and purposeful — every encounter teaches something, and none of them are filler.
