DHW 02: Coffee With Friends

Coffee with Friends: A Daggerheart Adventure in the Witherwild

A meeting over bitter coffee becomes the first move in a dangerous game of trust, secrets, and survival. On the trail to Wyrmhearth Crossing—a marshbound outpost where Haven’s order clings to the edge of the wild—the party’s arrival stirs more than curiosity. A desperate ambush, a whispered warning, and a sealed archive beneath the town’s boardwalks all point to something rotten beneath the lantern glow.

Coffee with Friends is a Daggerheart-compatible adventure for level 1 characters, set in the restless, spirit-haunted expanse of the Witherwild. Part social intrigue, part heist, and part moral crossroads, this flexible 20+ page scenario offers a living world where every choice pulls you deeper into tangled loyalties and buried crimes.

Perfect for groups who savor character-driven drama, factional tension, and unexpected reversals, this adventure includes:

• A complete 5-part arc, from root-choked forest trails to the guarded heart of a frontier town and the archives hidden beneath it

• Richly detailed social encounters with memorable NPCs—from weary marsh guards to wandering knights and eccentric archivists

• Dynamic adversaries and environments, including desperate street gangs, the Abandoned Grove, and the town’s labyrinth of walkways

• A heist-ready infiltration sequence with multiple points of entry, each carrying unique risks and rewards

• Discoverable lore tying the party to the Witherwild’s oldest wounds—and to the enigmatic figure known as the Fanewraith

• Optional rules for Witherwild corruption, faction suspicion, and consequences that follow beyond the final scene

This isn’t a script. It’s a scaffold for collaborative play — an invitation to brew a story steeped in mistrust, hard bargains, and the slow drip of dangerous truth. Whether you walk away as heroes, outlaws, or something stranger, one thing is certain:

The coffee will get cold before the forest forgets your name.
