The Tomb of the Ancients
Level 1
After a recent earthquake, a massive silvery dome has ap-
peared at the base of a nearby mountain. It appears it had
once been buried beneath a portion of the mountain itself,
but the earthquake has exposed it. Many are interested it
what secrets the structure may possess.
Exterior—The exterior of the dome is perfectly smooth and per-
fectly round. There are no visible doors anywhere on the exterior.
Several expeditionary forces have already encamped around the
dome. An inscription, written in a flowing golden script reads, “At
mornings first light, my shame casts my eyes down.”

Main entrance—only
visible at morning’s first light and only
visible from the south. From the inside it appears to be a nor-

guard of a dozen ghostly figures will march past along the outer
ring. They can not be interacted with in any way.

Vortex. Anyone may enter room 18 but leaving is much more difficult. The
center of the room is occupied by a magical vortex that seems to suck light
and life into itself. Anyone standing in the room takes damage from the
negative energy it creates. On either side of the vortex stands a candle
stand. The candle on the east side is missing (can be found in room 15 if
searched well). Replacing the candle will end the effect, but release the
vampire
that resides in the sarcophagus within the vortex. Anyone at-
tempting to use any door to exit area 18 must roll a d8 and a d6. For the
d8, count clockwise around room 18 to determine the door that is actually
used. For the d6, 1-2 is outside room 18 and 3-6 is inside room 18. Exit
from room 19-22 use these same rules. Doors function normally if candle
is replaced.

adorn this room.
Spells that heal or
restore do not function in this room while the vortex is active.

Hallways of the dead.
The four hallways leading to the central chamber
are packed with ghostly mourners. They can not be interacted with in any
way, but occasionally, among their other wailings, shout, “Woe to those
who would approach the final resting place of the High King with out bless-
ing.” Rest is impossible in these hallways. The doors leading into room 18
from the
south, west and north are all trapped.
