[QUOTE="Ampolitor, post: 903446, member: 11758"] [b]hmmmm[/b] hmmm, Sea of Death, a sea of rough waters (hence the lighthouse) where many ships were smashed against the rocks (further adventure hooks here). A graveyard of ships, broken masts can be seen at low tide from the surf. Stone Nomads, a race of nomads who were driven from the area (need name where the goldworms now occupy.) A nomadic people who herd animals and are vital trading partners with the local town, or they could be gypsy type people, who know all about the old pyramids to the south. Goldworms, instead of the obvious worm type creatures how about small creatures that were let loose from Stone nomad interlopers into the temples. These small worms were set free. Once they hit the sun they now grow to large sizes. They burrow under the ground like Ant lions and set traps. or maybe it could be a spelling error and be (gold Wyrms) which could set up a dragon encounter, the reason the stone nomads left etc... Remember dont ever state the obvious to a group of PC's, never let them expect what or where anything will happen. The ancient lighthouse can be overun with undead from the sea, etc,, or sahaugin who would sometimes crash the ships to claim their victims. the temples could be a entire adventure in itself. Maybe a lost civilization that was wiped out by the goldworms before they were trapped and the survivors moved away. Lots of ideas here. [/QUOTE]
