Shadows of Things Lost: 5e Mini-Adventure for 4 characters of levels 5–7
🕑 Added 2024-10-11 09:44:37 +0000 UTCI bring you again a cool mini-dungeon with three exciting locations where your players are confronted with cultists, a wraith, a specter, a barbed devil, and a sentinel in darkness.
The LeJaune family has gradually declined over the years, losing status, influence, and recently, its last living member. The somber crypt in the hills stands solitary and solemn, far from the nearest dwelling.
And now, it seems like the void left by the family has been filled: Rumors of hooded figures and flickering lights in the night abound. Thus, the party sets forth to bring to light what lurks in the Shadows of Things Lost.
The Cult of Lost Things. After the death of his wife in childbirth, Rodrik LeJaune started a cult to the Devil Duke of Lost Things. After his death under suspicious circumstances, the cult continued, now led by Malatrovata, a barbed devil formerly bound to LeJaune. More ambitious than LeJaune, Malatrovata plans to sacrifice thirteen people in a ritual to summon the infernal duke.

The entrance to the crypt is a semicircular recess on a hill. A pentagram in faded paint is barely visible on the floor... In the half-hour before the cult ceremony and for its entire duration, torches are placed in the sconces and two cultists stand guard on either side of the doors.
This room houses four sarcophagi bearing the remains of past heads of the LeJaune household. The secret door leads to the mirror room. The room is empty except for a large, circular mirror. A character who succeeds at a DC 15 Intelligence (Arcana) or Intelligence (History) check identifies it as a mirror of life trapping.
This long room is dominated by a statue of the Infernal Duke of Lost Things. The bridge arches slightly and has 3-foot-high railing on either side. Beneath the bridge, a 5-foot-deep pool of stagnant water divides the room. A creature that falls into the water is exposed to sight rot.
If the characters arrive during a ceremony, there are 2d4 cultists present. The barbed devil Malatrovata spends most of her time here. She is accompanied by the imp Perso, who serves as her spy and messenger.
When Malatrovata is killed (or banished), or someone attacks the statue, it animates as a sentinel in darkness. (Find the png token and Area 5. without the statue) The statue retains its Vault Keeper ability even when inanimate. If the statue teleports an object, you might have it reappear in the mirror room.
