The Sun Road
The construction of powerful magical artifacts requires unusual ingredients. In this case it is the heart of a king ‐ but how is one to obtain such a thing without committing regicide? The answer lies deep in the wastes¸ where a long lost civilization of gnolls known as the Tzakar-buru has left behind monuments to their forgotten royalty¸ as well as the preserved organs of their kings within ceramic funerary jars. This free introductory mini-adventure acts as a lead-in to R.A. Salvatore Presents: The Vile Crypt of the Reawakened Sisterhood. Contained within are a few short encounters that will lead the players to the crypt¸ and introduce them to ancient culture of the Tzakar-buru. It includes details of a new monster¸ the Spectral Gnoll Priest¸ one of the many custom undead gnollish creatures to be found within the crypt. It also acts as a means of delivering to the party The Prayers of Yeenoghu¸ which is included in The Vile Crypt of the Reawakened Sisterhood as a player hand-out and can be used by a canny party of adventurers to gain further clues to the nature of the crypt. The Crypt of the Reawakened Sisterhood was developed by and for R.A. Salvatore's own gaming group. It will challenge a party of level 6-8 characters¸ especially if they do not have magical weapons¸ as the encounter with the Spectral Gnoll Priest will reveal. If your players enjoys the ancient Egyptian themed gnolls introduced here¸ you will find much more to delight them in R.A. Salvatore Presents: The Vile Crypt of the Reawakened Sisterhood.
