From Dust You Come and to Dust You Shall Return

Farmhome is a place where stories linger.

The crows are too quiet.

The goats are restless at night.

And the trail beyond the village leads into fog and vine, where travelers vanish, and only bones come back.

The journey will not be kind.

Every hill, every cave, every fallen log may hide danger.

But the road leads forward, through wet woods and broken idols, to where the earth drinks blood and something far older than gods begins to wake.

The wilderness is watching.

The Seed is stirring.

Ashes to Ashes is an adventure for The Necromancer's Game that will challenge 2–6 player characters of levels 4–8.

This universal system is intended to serve as the basis for all Justice Gaming products in the future. It is modular, and although only the basics are available now, additional rules and systems will be added with upcoming releases. (Such as targeted attacks, mass combat, and world generation)

This system is being released for free under creative commons license. Future products will feature setting information that will be traditionally copyrighted but all additional rule information will continue to be released under creative commons.

Thieves’ Guild expands the familiar back-alley criminal trope into a full, encounter-ready hierarchy designed for 5e play. Rather than treating thieves as a single low-level nuisance, this supplement presents a complete ladder of street operatives, professional criminals, disciplined enforcers, and unseen masterminds—from lookouts and runners to burglars, lieutenants, and elusive guildmasters—each built to fill a specific role at the table.

Whether you need disposable eyes to flood an alley, agile cutpurses to harass and scatter a crowd, brutal muggers to apply pressure, skilled infiltrators to bypass locks and wards, or a calculating crime boss directing the encounter from the shadows, Thieves’ Guild provides mechanically distinct stat blocks at every tier of play. The ladder is designed to scale naturally, allowing urban encounters to grow from petty crime and street violence into coordinated operations, territorial wars, and campaign-defining confrontations.

Each guild role is designed with clear encounter purpose, strong internal synergy, and GM-friendly abilities that emphasize coordination, control, and leverage over raw damage. Use them as pickpocket rings, organized crime syndicates, shadowy city guilds, or sprawling underworld networks—the structure is provided, the city they control is yours.

Tokens and art are provided for male and female versions.

Thieves' Guild Ladder

Guild Lookout (CR 0): Unarmed sentries and street eyes who warn the guild of danger. They flee at the first sign of trouble and value survival over loyalty.

Guild Runner (CR 0): Messengers, decoys, and bait used to draw attention, deliver information, or lead pursuers into traps. Fast, disposable, and hard to catch.

Guild Cutpurse (CR 1/8): Pickpockets and petty thieves who work crowds, markets, and festivals. They rely on distraction and escape rather than confrontation.

Guild Forger (CR 1/8): Document falsifiers who create fake permits, writs, seals, and ledgers. Dangerous not for combat skill, but for the chaos their work causes.

Guild Mugger (CR 1/4): Alley predators who ambush isolated targets for quick profit. Brutal but undisciplined, they strike hard and retreat faster.

Guild Grave Robber (CR 1/4): Tomb looters and crypt crawlers who strip corpses and forgotten sites. Superstitious, filthy, and often carrying unsettling relics.

Guild Tough (CR 1/2): Enforcers and bodyguards who protect guild interests through intimidation and violence. Loyal while paid, ruthless when cornered.

Guild Smuggler (CR 1/2): Specialists in moving illicit goods through docks, borders, and city gates. Skilled at concealment, bribery, and escape.

Guild Burglar (CR 1): Professional infiltrators who bypass locks, traps, and alarms. Prefer stealth and planning to open conflict.

Guild Highwayman (CR 1): Roadside robbers who ambush travelers with threats and negotiation before violence. Confident, theatrical, and always prepared to disengage.

Guild Scout (CR 2): Reconnaissance experts who track targets, map routes, and set ambushes. Rarely fight alone and withdraw once their task is complete.

Guild Witchknife (CR 2): Criminal specialists trained to steal from spellcasters and temples. Use stolen charms, wards, and countermeasures rather than true spellcasting.

Guild Assassin (CR 3): Precision killers hired for specific targets. They strike decisively and disappear, avoiding prolonged fights whenever possible.

Guild Fence (CR 4): Influential brokers who control stolen goods, information, and contacts. More dangerous socially than physically, with reach across the city.

Guild Lieutenant (CR 5): Trusted crew leaders who command cells and coordinate operations. Pragmatic tacticians who know when to fight and when to retreat.

Guildmaster (CR 6): The unseen hand behind the guild’s operations. Rarely encountered directly, relying on preparation, leverage, and layered escape plans to survive.

The bodily remains of the Lost Mother are interred in the main tomb. Alas, the dungeon is filled with dangerous traps, ravenous undead, and a tribe of strange, underdark troglodytes whose hunting grounds lie nearby.

What's included:

• PDF and JPG versions of OP57.
• B/W printer-friendly versions
• Hi-Res Map versions
• The adventure is system-neutral, so no rules or mechanics are included.

Adventure module for 9th-level characters

West of Goldking Bay, in a dense forest of mushroom trees, the fall of a meteor has created a large crater. Amidst the cloud of ash, the adventurers discover Eneli, a girl of celestial and infernal lineage, born from the forbidden love between an angel and a fiend. Now, gods and rival factions covet her extraordinary powers. The very existence of the “Sacred Beast” confronts the adventurers with a series of moral dilemmas. They can choose to surrender her to the violence of the Chosen of Darkness, elevate her to Judge of the Worlds, destroy her, or entrust her to the guidance of the Sage of the Mountain, a mysterious and powerful hermit. In a succession of twists and turns, their choices will shape the course of the Celestial War and the very future of Nebvarasa.
