The Sunken Ziggurat (23) (3.5e)
 |
 |
A recent earthquake has exposed an ancient ziggurat long buried in the earth. When the heroes are called to investigate¸ they find more than just a buried structure. The dragon-queen Tiamat was slain on this site¸ and the ziggurat was built eons ago to seal her taint. Now that it has resurfaced¸ evil magics flow into the surrounding lands! The heroes must descend into this ancient edifice¸ defeat the monsters that dwell within its bowels¸ and replace that seal that prevents Tiamat's evil from leaking into the world!
An Adventure for Character Levels 5-7
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.
