Howls in the Night is a 32-page adventure for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition released in December 1994..

Official synopsis[]

The Mists of Ravenloft draw close, surrounding unfortunate travelers in their clammy embrace. When they part, they revel the land of Mordent, a domain of rolling moors and woods, beautiful by day and terrifying by night. The moors surround Westcote Manor, whose owner seeks your aid to break a curse that has beset his family. A new danger lurks in the haunted moors: hounds whose mournful howls and murderous jaws trap the townsfolk in their homes at night. At the heart of it all lies a curse laid a century ago, a tale of bitter tragedy.
Even now, you can hear the howls in the night. "Howls in the Night" is a dark fantasy murder mystery - but one in which the victim has been dead for 100 years! Alternate adventure backgrounds allow the Dungeon Master to choose one of four possible conclusions.
The adventure is designed for 4 to 6 player characters, levels 3rd to 5th.
