Just finished reading LoT....all I can say is..AWESOME!
Also started the (contact) version Return to the Temple, with a few modifications:
- set around the time of the siege of Chendl during the Greyhawk wars.
- replaced the prazraelians with cultists of Orcus who are spying on the cultists of Graz'zt in the Temple.
- a couple earthquake spells have collapsed the upper temple and part of the dungeon complex (making it significantly smaller)
- got rid of the water elemental faction, so there's only the Iuzians, the Graz'zt folk, and Anchel the cultist of Zuggtmoy (a cleric/oozemaster)
- not gonna do the doppleganger event
- Xenvelen's goal is to reopen the gate located in Zuggtmoy's prison, thereby allowing a flood of demons (from Graz'zt's abyssal layer) to enter the world and tip the war in his favor.
- Planning on including Lucius once one of the Sister's is killed, and Jespo at some point as well.
- PCs are 6th level
The first adventure went pretty well. They fought some brigands in the Moathouse, made it to the torture room in the dungeon level, and r-u-n-n-o-f-t with some former prisoners/ghoul snacks. Little do they know, the forces of Orcus aren't going to merely wait for them to return. A spell-stiched ghast sorcerer, 4 ghasts, and 4 ghouls are currently tracking them... I predict 1 PC death.
