Legacy of the Savage Kings (DCC17) (3.5e)
 |
 |
An adventure for character levels 4-6
Remember the good old days¸ when adventures were underground¸ NPCs were there to be killed¸ and the finale of every dungeon was the dragon on the 20th level? Those days are back. Dungeon Crawl Classics don't waste your time with long-winded speeches¸ weird campaign settings¸ or NPCs who aren't meant to be killed. Each adventure is 100% good¸ solid dungeon crawl¸ with the monsters you know¸ the traps you fear¸ and the secret doors you know are there somewhere.
For centuries¸ the Great Swamp has hidden hints of an ancient culture of barbarian kings. While passing through this miserable bog¸ the PCs encounter Stygoth the Damned¸ a half-dead black dragon driven mad by a mysterious disease. Delving further¸ the heroes discover that the disease is tied to the very swamp itself. A great corruption once infested this place¸ destroying the savage barbarian kings and leaving only mighty statues as their legacy. Now this corruption has returned¸ and a terrible Witch Queen is mining the corrupted swamp-earth to produce evil¸ blighted artifacts. In order to stop the spread of these evil weapons¸ the heroes must enter the ancient caves of the savage kings¸ put to rest the corrupt legacy of their downfall¸ end the disease that scars the land¸ and then face off against the Witch Queen herself.
