Windhowl Oasis and the Sword of the Conquered King
Added 2020-10-27 23:02:05 +0000 UTCSheltered from the worst desert winds by rock mesas, Windhowl Oasis offers respite to those venturing into the cursed ruins of Ossuh. The sand blown remains of the ancient kingdom hide lost treasures eagerly sought by collectors and practitioners of dark magic.
Spirit-wraiths glide restlessly among broken statues rising from the sand dunes. They serve as the eyes of the dracolich Xakaroth that lairs in the sprawling catacombs underneath.
Heya, everyone,
Hope you all had fun diving into Turtlerock Harbor!
This week sees a return to a favorite little setting of mine, Valley of the Conquered King, in the form of an adventure seed with a three part framework that includes some fun locations and points of interest to spark the imagination in solo play.
It features Windhowl Oasis, and the Sword Chamber that lies underneath its water well, as well as the Ruins of Ossuh. Although it ties into the VotCK setting, it will also transplant easily to any setting you require.
In my playthrough, the dracolich Xakaroth used the spirit-wraiths as his eyes and ears to track my party down and retake the phylactery sword in a huge sandstorm battle.
I suppose he is now bringing it to the tomb of his master. Oh, well...:)
At least that's what happened during my solo playthrough! Let me know what happened during yours!
Cheerio,
John
