Four to six PCs of 8th level.  This is all before the tomb itself, which is very nasty (in one room if you look up, you get whisked away to Hell).  So, somehow, the party survives, and finds the treasure... It's a powerful magic sword that just happens to be possessed by a Hobgoblin Psion (Kruk-Ma-Kali) who has a King Arthur complex (the Once and Future King....).  That said, it's worth owning for source material (all Kalamar adventures are about half background/area statistics - and they all have wretched "adventure hooks").-I also second the Heart of Nightfang Spire, as well as the other adventure in that series whose name I cannot recall, the one with the bat-people.... Ugh!</blockquote>
