Don't you dare plunder the Tomb of the Opal King!
🕑 Added 2022-07-24 21:19:44 +0000 UTCTraveler! It has been hundreds of years since the reign of the Opal King ended. But the people from Haverton are very fond of their historic landmarks and their past. Today, the tomb of the former king of the territories is protected and guarded at all times. This is because thieves have tried to sack it a few times before. And there is even a crazy story going around about the ghost of the king protecting the treasure within the tomb. And today, a group of thieves led by a man named Vexan seeks the treasure. Only one of the guards protecting the place made it back.
The heroes must move fast. They must intercept the thieves before they leave with everything. Vexan's plan is to reanimate some of the dead from the tomb to fight for them while they take the treasure. The heroes must stop this and protect the place and its contents.
This is a level 4 delve-encounter that features a fantastic location but the characters should be wary of plundering the treasure, combat or roleplay with a group of tomb-robbers and cultists, and contact with strange spirits from a bygone era. Here's a low-def preview of this illustration:
Here's a close-up of the dungeon's dilapidated entrance. A group of loyalist cultists guards this area and fights the adventurers.
When the characters reach the sepulcher of the Opal King, they find the cultists performing a necromancy ritual. If the are successful, some of the bodily remains in the area rise to aid the demented tomb-robbers.
