The Tower of Bondage ๐๐š๐ซ๐ญ ๐Ÿ โ€œFane of the Jailersโ€ takes you deeper into Aumvor the Undyingโ€™s dungeon of terror. As your players draw closer to the tower below, they will meet new horrors that include: โ— 15 encounters with dark denizens including undead โ— New Monster, โ€œWalking Oozeโ€ โ— Margoyles of the AD&D era converted for 5th Edition. This adventure is part two of a six-part series that comprises six levels of dungeon and culminates in the PCโ€™s escape from an underground prison of torture and madness, and if they choose, the destruction of the Lich known as Aumvor the Undying. In early 1320 DR Aumvor the Undying collected the greatest of all of the relics and lore of the Netherese Empire and secreted it away in his domain in Endless Caverns. There he awaited the return of the City of Shade. He did not have to wait long for it was but thirty eight years when it appeared. The undying one saw this as his long awaited opportunity to return and bring the Netherse Empire to its full glory. As quickly as it rose, it also fell, for even Aumvor could not foretell the advent of the second sundering. This change in the weave left him weakened and the nations placed under his yoke, rebelled. By 1487 DR the City of Shade fell and the end of Netheril was not far behind. From the ashes of an empire two times fallen, Aumvor the Undying plots again to restore Netheril. His ancient portal traps still in operation, he feeds on the living and grows strong again. Who can stop him? ๐…๐จ๐ซ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐จ๐ง ๐€๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐”๐ง๐๐ฒ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐„๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐๐ž๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ฅ, ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ ๐‚๐ก๐š๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐•๐š๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐’๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐‚๐จ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ ๐€๐๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž๐ซโ€™๐ฌ ๐†๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ž.

When you are successful , your reputation will spread farther and more widely than you might imagine. And when that reputation reaches those who believe that โ€œthe enemy of my enemy is my firend,โ€ you might just find yourself working with and for some interesting people. So when the village go-between for the mayor of Rybalka and local Vikmordere tribespeople asks the party to recover an item, you canโ€™t be sure exactly who you are going to earn your coin from. The PCs find themselves having to tread a very thin line to be successful with this job; the Monachyโ€™s agent in Rybalka is very interested in what they are doing, as are other, less friendly tribes; but the PCs donโ€™t know this. In fact, there is much they donโ€™t know and they will only become aware of some of the implications of their actions when potential problems become reality. Of course, if theyโ€™d know they were meant to find a ship buried in a cliff face, defeat its entire crew before finding great beauty in physical and material form, take what belongs to a king and then return unnoticed through territory claimed by old enemies and new allies, they would have prepared quite differently, wouldnโ€™t they? Ah, hindsight is a wonderful thingโ€ฆ Also included in ""Search for the Tri-Stone"": Maps by 3x ENnie Award winning Cartographer Todd Gamble New Runic Language introduced through a Runestick which PCs may use on their journey to decode puzzles and find clues in their search for the Tri-Stone High resolution map of the Thingallor Burial Shrine New Monster: Zombie Handmaidens Numerous New Maps and Illustrations!

This tongue in cheek adventure brings new PCs into a small town after an adventure. Upon arrival they quickly discover that the small agricultural community has just been robbed of its harvest supply. With the seasonal change coming those supplies are necessary for the townโ€™s survival. One of the victims of the attack was an alchemist. Contained within his bag were a few Potions of Growth. The bitter taste of the potion disagreed with the bandit who discovered it and he flung it into a field. Unfortunately for the PCs oversized fowl must be overcome before dealing with the bandits. Used as a fun one-shot for my group this scenario can be quite deadly if played poorly. Will your players save the day and feast on a Giant Turkey? Gobble this adventure up for free!

Welcome to Cirriaโ€™s Gambit, a four- to six-hour adventure for 2nd-4th level characters, designed for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition! This adventure invites you and your players to a fiendishly fun party with revengeful devils, a succubus who just wants to go back to hell, snobbish nobles, intoxicated socialites and one really irritated banshee! Cirria wants to go to hell! There is only one tiny problem: her mistress Glasya, archdevil of the sixth layer, has banished her for insubordination. So, whatโ€™s a succubus to do in Cirriaโ€™s place? Take over a local noble family and organize a grand feast like this boring plane has never seen before to channel the emotional energy of her guests into a ritual to open a portal, of course! Isnโ€™t it obvious? Cirriaโ€™s plan only had one tiny unaccounted for issue: Lady Kaera, matron of the noble house Cirria targeted, is a banshee. Cirria found a momentary solution โ€“ but that will only hold so long as no intrepid group of adventurers disrupts itโ€ฆ This adventure can be run as a one-shot or inserted into an on-going campaign. The theme fits Baldurโ€™s Gate: Descent into Avernus particularly well!

In Flight of the Magpies your party is employed by a famous band of sky mercenaries to do a simple job: find out which airship will be transporting a mysterious prisoner. Simple jobs turn into crazy adventures in Eberron though, and this module is no different. Will the party rise (or fly?) to the challenge? Flight of the Magpies is an adventure for a group of players at level 3 that can be played early in an Eberron campaign to start things off with a bang. It was originally devised as a one-shot and can still be played as one, while also being a fun introduction to this game for new players. It will take 3 to 5 hours to complete as a single session, or it can be split in two shorter ones. This adventure is appropriate for beginners as well as experienced players, and contains enough information on the World of Eberron that you don't have to do any "homework" to play it. Statblocks for all the custom enemies you may fight in this adventure are also provided, so that you can start playing without having to own any other book.

Deep in these caverns overrun with all sorts of foul creatures are two sister hags. Once of the same coven, they now have a bitter rivalry but both refuse to the leave these caverns they call home. The cave received its name thanks to the terrifying sounds that echo through it. Some say it is just the wind brushing against the stone but the rumors all speak of two horrifying sisters casting curses and performing diabolic rituals with human sacrifices in a never-ending hatred. Heroes will face goblin, hag, bat, hook horror, and other terrifying monstrosities deep within the tunnels of The Shrieking Caverns. This dungeon does not contain any of the puzzles from the puzzle section, though there are a few situations the players will find themselves in that will require more than phsyical strength. That being said, this dungeon contains many combat encounters and is expected to take multiple nights to complete.
