The Falcate Idol (CE-1)
Campaign Element - 1 - The Falcate Idol
The Cult of the Harrower is ancient¸ and each of the eight eyes of its spider-idol is rumored to be a moonstone gem the size of a pigeon's egg. Moreover¸ somewhere within the cult's sanctuary¸ a pool flows from the Egg of Creation. Will your Thief seek to make a legendary score? Will your Wizard pursue the shards of the Egg? Will your Cleric join the cult? Or will your Warrior fight his way through the web-covered passages to rescue them if they fail? Any or all of these scenarios are possible!
The Campaign Elements series is designed to help judges create persistent campaign worlds¸ as well as deal with patron quests¸ divine requests¸ and the sudden need to "Quest For It". Whether it is because you are short on players one evening¸ or the wizard needs to locate a new spell¸ the Campaign Elements series has you covered.
Each of these areas is short enough to be played through by most groups in only a single session. That doesn't mean that the value of the area is limited to a single session - each adventure includes notes on "squeezing it dry"…effectively getting the maximum re-use from your investment.
An adventure for 2-8 level 2 Dungeon Crawl Classics characters. This adventure is also suitable for 1-2 level 3 characters¸ or a solo level 4 thief who relies primarily upon stealth and caution.
