Basically, the end of the module plays out at the same time as the finale of the novel The Verdant Passage, but the stuff that happens in the novel works mostly as a backdrop to the stuff that happens in the adventure. I'll put the specifics in spoiler blocks, just to be on the safe side.[sblock]The main part of the adventure has the PCs enslaved, working on the sorcerer-king Kalak's ziggurat. Toward the end of the adventure, the ziggurat has been finished, and king Kalak has everyone in the city of Tyr watching the inaugural gladiator games. In the novel, during these games the main characters make an assassination attempt against Kalak, who retreats to the interior of the ziggurat where he starts a fell ritual designed to turn him into a dragon. Chaos ensues, and the protagonists seek out Kalak and kill him. The adventure has the characters trying to navigate and survive in the ensuing chaos.[/sblock]</blockquote>
