Hi everyone!
TLDR: Help me design a fun monster hunt in a city for level 4 adventurers!
You want more backstory?
After meeting with an information broker called the Domino, the party has been tasked with hunting down whatever has been killing the Eyes of the Domino (they act as information gatherers & receptionists in a way, facilitating meetings between the Domino and clients). The location this takes place in is a pirate-cove/city of thieves/den of iniquity called the Anchorage. It's an chain of asteroids that are connected by floes of ice. This is high-fantasy sci-fi, so lots of wiggle room to do lots of fun things.
I'm currently thinking that the monster is a demon summoned by someone in the city who would prefer to make their next move in secrecy, so they are "blinding" the Eyes of the Domino to set up whatever step 2 is.
The Party
Within the party, we have a cleric, bard, artificer, sorcerer, mystic, and a Blood Hunter, a skillset that this stint is supposed to highlight.
What I'm Looking For
Good ideas for demon attack/crime scenes, clues to find. Basically those scenes in the witcher where they hunt down a monster, I want to replicate that feeling. I haven't totally determined what monster they are hunting, so I'm willing to take suggestions, but it should be tough. CR 9-10 I'm thinking. This party punches way above their weight.
I'm happy to answer any follow up questions, but... Yeah! Let's brainstorm!
