Can’t Sleep – Clowns Will Eat Me is a fun 4 page adventure for Elemental (DriveThruRPG, 168 pages). To solo this, I used the Flextale Solo Adventuring Toolkit (same place, 600+ pages) . I did use the six characters included in the module. So, the characters came into the town of Juniper’s Crossing and talked to several NPCs (four) before finding the quest. They also figured out that if you try to sleep in the town, the attempt will fail and you will not get any rest. They continued their investigation, talked to four more NPCs, and entered another structure (I am trying to avoid a spoiler, but there is a circus in town). Within minutes, they were attacked by a mimic. They killed it, but were soon attacked by two doppelgangers (killed them too). So, now they were damaged and ready to escape. They searched for and found the exit, left town, set up camp, and did get some rest.

On the second day, they went back to “the structure” and discovered two more doppelgangers. After killing them, they had had enough. They exited, cast healing spells, and came back to it at dusk. They torched the place and it did burn down. Unfortunately, the area where the circus performers sleep caught fire as well and was destroyed. Oops. No circus performers were killed or injured. But they did chase my characters into the woods. Hesp would not give up the chase, but Za “persuades” him to not do that. The adventurers decide it is time to go to the next town. The last scene – one of the mad wizards from the circus starts digging through the smoldering remains of the structure. He finds The Dream Eater’s Crown (the Eater died in the fire). The mad wizard puts it on. What could go wrong?
