Info

Skills & Feats: Diplomacy +6, Hide +11, Intimidate +10, Listen +12, Search +10, Sense Motive +8, Spot +12, Survival +2 (+4 following tracks); Alertness B , Blind-Fight, Combat Reflexes, Improved Initiative B . Constitution Drain (Su): Living creatures hit by a wraith’s incorporeal touch attack must succeed on a Fortitude saving throw (DC 14) or be dealt 1d6 points of Constitution drain. The saving throw DC is Charismabased. On each such successful attack, the wraith gains five temporary hit points. Create Spawn (Su): Any humanoid slain by a wraith becomes a wraith in 1d4 rounds. Its body remains intact and inanimate, but its spirit is torn free from its corpse and transformed. Spawn are under the command of the wraith that created them and remain enslaved until its death. They do not possess any of the abilities they had in life. Daylight Powerlessness (Ex): Wraiths are utterly powerless in natural sunlight (not merely a daylight spell) and flee from it. Unnatural Aura (Su): Animals, whether wild or domesticated, can sense the unnatural presence of a wraith at a distance of 30 feet. They will not willingly approach nearer than that and panic if forced to do so; they remain panicked as long as they are within that range. Note: The above does not include the benefit of the desecrate spell. When within the desecrated chapel, the wraiths attack at +7 melee, deal 1d4+2 points of damage plus 1d6 Constitution drain, and have 42 hit points and the following saving throw bonuses: Fort +3, Ref +6, Will +8. Shikzen’s Divine Focus: This strangely primitivelooking spider carving has been made from a piece of black mineral that glows (if that is the right word!) with darkness. It emits darkness as an ember emits light. It has a strong aura of evil. Any character who has seen tenebrium knows that the divine focus has been made from that substance. In addition, any Starborn present (which should be all of the Player Characters) may make Intelligence checks (DC 15). Those who succeed instinctively recognise the object as a piece of the Abyssal Altar. The obvious conclusion, which the players should be left to figure out for themselves, is that the Abyssal Altar is actually made from tenebrium. If the Conclave really can come up with a device that emits energy specially tuned to shatter tenebrium, perhaps it could be used to destroy the Abyssal Altar itself! 11. Entrance to the Mine Complex The passage here slopes downwards and the walls become increasingly rough. At the end of the passage a gate of metal bars stands open, with a heavy chain and padlock hanging from it. In the room beyond you can see a row of drow soldiers stationed behind a makeshift barrier made from sandbags. The soldiers stand with their backs to you, training heavy crossbows on the area beyond. From far off, the sound of battle reaches you. It echoes up from the caves beyond the gate, so distorted by distance that you cannot tell what direction it is coming from. The ten drow soldiers here are assisted by a warlock (a wizard with fighter levels). They are holding this area against a possible dwarf rush from the mine caves. This is intended to be a fairly tough battle for the Player Characters; the drow will not yield this position easily. They are, however, expecting an attack from the other direction, so the Player Characters have the advantage of surprise, if they are wise enough to work with it. If battle does break out, the warlock’s first action is to cast haste on his comrades. If the battle appears to be going in the drow’s favour, they try to capture the Player Characters for interrogation, inflicting nonlethal damage and then fetching manacles from the storage room (Room 11a). If the drow appear to be losing, they fall back into the mines, trying to meet up with the main force at Area 15. Anvil: Once the Player Characters can see the rest of the room, they notice an anvil at the point marked with an X. This is used to fit chains on the prisoners. If the party members are above 17 th level on average, the Games Master should increase the number of drow soldiers to 14.
