Bad Moon Waning is one of the longest of the original
Dungeons & Dragons adventures released in PDF format on the Wizards of the Coast website as part of a quasi-monthly series. The adventure involves a fully detailed hamlet, and an investigation and dark secret that leads to a chase and a moral quandry. Intended for four 10th-level characters, but has suggestions for adapting it for four 8th-level or four 12th-level PCs. Uses the version 3.5 rules, but the old (pre-
Dungeons Masters Guide II) monster stat blocks. Includes a new magic item, Gnarlpaw's Claw.
From the website:
When the priestess of Ehlonna was murdered by a werewolf, the townsfolk of Deepwood lost no time in meting out justice, even though the shapechanger turned out to be a trusted friend and neighbor. But his journal has the town worried. Written in an unknown tongue, it seems to contain important pieces of information. Is it a list of other werewolves? Is the threat to Deepwood over, or has it only just begun? Drop this original adventure for D&D v.3.5 by Stan! into a forested area of your campaign world where an isolated town might exist. Suitable for four 10th-level characters.
