• RETAIL PRICE: $5 each
• DESCRIPTION: Crypt of the Crocodiles is a network of tombs of forgotten desert royalty that emerges from the sand for just one week every 13 years. It is deadly dangerous but rumor has it that those who survive return with enough riches to retire. It has been sighted and the PCs’ chance is here. The Unliving Court of Graemr is revealed after a collapse reveals a hidden system of tunnels. Few who went in come back, but those few brought back gold and stories of giants still living down there in the deep. The Prison-Crypt of Mu-Ye is found far in a marsh where there is a cliff with a large gate few dare to look upon. Baron Mu-Ye was an ancient warrior, tyrant, and immortal vampire buried with all of his stolen treasures. Likely the PCs would dare to rob such an ancient evil.
