Shavaka Rises
A tier 1 horror themed adventure for Dungeons & Dragons designed to be completed in about 4-6 hours of play.
 
The heroes have been approached by a finely dressed human wizard named ‘Elel’. He advises that he has been searching for the group for some time, having learned of their bravery in recently overheard bard’s tales. Elel offers the party a mission; enter the Tomb of Shavaka at the edge of the desert and retrieve the lost Amulet of Shavaka.
 
The amulet was last seen many years ago disappearing into an ancient tomb deep within the desert. It had been hung around the neck of a daring adventurer in search of the wealth of a long-dead king. It and its wearer were never seen again. They say that the undead now walk the tomb's passages and no local villager will go near it.
 
Are your players ready to enter the tomb in search for the Amulet of Shavaka?
 
The King awaits!
