What secrets await in thechambers of the Temple of the Ancients?
🕑 Added 2022-03-18 20:56:59 +0000 UTCTraveler! An arcane cabal of druids known as the Circle of the Ancients has been charged throughout millennia to guard the Material Plane against otherworldly entities. These aberrant beings last attempted to invade our world a thousand years ago. Back then, the last six members of the Circle of the Ancients sacrificed their lives to enact a druidic ritual. The result of this magical ceremony drove off the horrors from beyond the veil.
This day, no member of the druidic circle is in active service. They come together in times of need. Unknown to most, the protection between worlds has eroded to the point that aberrant scions loom closer to the decrepit gates of yore. Soon, they will be able to step across the fabric of realities and into our world. Unless a group of druids reform the Circle of the Ancients and replicate the forgotten ritual to drive them away once more.
This is a level 4 adventure with a bit of exploration, dungeon-crawling for fights and treasure, and the opportunity to save the world from an otherworldly menace! Here's a low-def preview of this illustration:
Here's a close-up of the ritual room's antechamber. The bodyguards of the six druids were interred here. Now, their decrepit remains have been tainted by a foul influence from beyond our world. They rise to battle with trespassers and would-be tomb robbers.
The great altar to the ancients is a complex incantation circle that bears the marks of the great druids of the past. In it lie the bases to numerous protection rituals that guard our world from perils no mortal should ever face!
