The Lost Tomb
Note: the map will look fine when the Courier font is fixed. Courier is the mono font, right?

After many apologies from the church elders who didn't try to put you in a grave, and explanations that the prophesy that great peril will come "when the mission fails," you are asked to retrieve the peg-leg of Saint Randall the Long-Suffering.

Encounter 1 – Goblins (Ranged Combat)
A group of Goblins has taken up residence on the top of the mound and will shoot arrows at the group and drop rocks if the group is close enough. The sides of the mound are too steep to run up and must be climbed.

Encounter 2 (1) – Bone dump (Swarm)
A pile of goblin bones and corpses in various states of decay. If disturbed, Rats swarm over the party. A search (A6) through the pile turns up a Mace+1 (d3/d10).
Rats (Pest): Sd2,Wd24/1,Ad4,D1,H30+10/dP – 10+ damage, Resist W4 at a -1 for every 10 damage over 20 or -1 Warrior every day until Cured (TN: 4+1 for each penalty)

Storage Room (2) (Time Waster)
Old, rotting barrels and boxes, digging supplies, etc. Nothing of any value or use. Attempts to open, carry, or move anything causes it to crumble, raising a cloud of dust causing a coughing fit, but otherwise harmless. Ancient graffiti on the wall (S4) reads, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, but it's the second step that'll kill you,” and “Kilroy wouldn't be caught dead here.”

Trap 1 (3) – Fountain
Seven steps lead up to a dry fountain. Stepping on the second step causes the fountain to shoot a stream of oil as a flame shoots up from the steps. Resist A8/d3-1/1, A4 to find, A6 to disable.

Trap 2 (4) – Watch your step
The second step on the stairs down is loose. Stepping on it and failing a Resist A8/d1+1/2 results in tumbling all the way down. A4 to detect.

Trick 1 (5) – Guardians
Square room with four statues of knights in armor holding a sword line the west and north walls (eight total). When everyone who is going to enter has, the door slams shut and cannot be opened until solving the puzzle by sliding a rows and columns to form a square of statues.

Statues cannot pass through walls and remain the same distance from each other on a row or column. The “lines” in the “illustrations” above show rows that cannot slide.
Smashing Door – D8, H128, Damage Reduction: -4, for every 1 rolled roll Resist W1 to prevent the weapon from breaking.

Secret Doors
Requires A4 to detect from outside. Readily obvious from inside and should be a clue that the party is looking in the wrong place. Another clue (S2 if anyone asks) is that the openings to tombs always face east toward the rising sun.

Encounters 3 & 4 (6a & 6b) – Sarcophagi
These rooms are mirror images of the other. The walls have tapestries depicting great hunts and fierce battles, the chests at the foot of each sarcophagus are filled with much lucre. The sarcophagi contain weakened ghouls.
Ghoul – Sd12,Wd12/d1,Ad4,D4d2,H10/dP – Opposed Sorcerer on successful hit, paralyzed 1 Turn/PoF.

The Tomb of Saint Randall the Long-Suffering (7)
The room is spartan, though the carving on the sarcophagus is quite detailed. Inside are the well-preserved remains of Saint Randall the Long-Suffering, peg-leg, hook hand, deviated septum, and all.


EDIT: Adventure attached. Yes, it's an odt file, not a doc. Suck it, MicroSoft.
