How to run Moonbranch Sylph
Moonbranch Sylph is a tier 2 support for Daggerheart. Drop it into any fitting 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
A grove falls silent each full moon, and those who enter return changed.
- 2
The local wardens seek a blessing for a failing harvest.
- 3
A child followed a song into the woods and never came back.
The Moon's Bargain
The forest's fortune has faded, and the Moonbranch Sylph offers a remedy at a steep, mysterious price. The party must reach its hidden glade, learn its terms, and decide what to sacrifice.
The Silent Grove
Moonlight spills between the trees, and the usual chorus of insects is gone. A soft melody drifts through the branches, leading to a child's footprints that end at a ring of thorned vines.
This is an exploration with a rescue at its heart. The sylph is present but unseen, testing the party's intent. The party must find the missing child, bypass the thorn ring, and prove they mean no harm.
