Adventure Summary: At Death's Door is a dungeon crawl that takes place almost entirely in the upper chambers of the Lair of the Keeper. This lair belongs to an ancient dracolich that perhaps styles themselves after the legends of the Keeper¸ or perhaps even inspired them. Stormhome. The player characters are called to the home city of House Lyrandar to meet with Guild Handler Lhara regarding their quest for an artifact tethered to Dolurrh¸ the Realm of the Dead. The Descent. Traveling by airship over the horrors of the Demon Wastes¸ the party descends into a vast canyon to find the Lair of the Keeper. After agreeing on a pickup point¸ the party skydives into the hellish landscape and hides to avoid the notice of a would-be god¸ then explores the surrounding area. The Lair of the Keeper. The bulk of the adventure takes place in the upper chambers of a dracolich's lair in a manifest zone tied to Dolurrh¸ the Realm of the Dead. Surviving the horrors of this place is the main challenge of the adventure. The Ghaash'kala. There is one last challenge standing between the players and their escape to the airship. The orc tribes called the Ghaash'kala consider it their holy duty to protect the rest of the world from the horrors of the Demon Wastes. They will attempt to stop anything from escaping the Wastes¸ unfortunately including our heroes.
