--TAVERN
Note that this Adventure takes place in the City of Intrigue (Module 6).
PC’s might hear a Rumor, see a Wanted Poster, or be approached directly.
It will be explained that several Jewelry Shops have been hit and the
Merchants have already hired several other investigators who are also
Working the case. Whoever recovers the Jewels will be richly rewarded.
--JEWELRY SHOP
PC’s are led to one Boarded up shop to take a look. All the Windows and
Glass showcases are smashed. The small Holy Symbol is attached to a broken
Chain and is mixed in with the broken displays. The PC’s are the first to see it.
It is very ugly and the Merchant will say it is not part of his inventory.
--SAGE
Within a few minutes of looking at dusty old Tomes the Sage of Choice will
Identify the Symbol. “He is a God of a Dead Universe.” “His followers will most
Likely be found along the Coast, or under the waves.”
--DOCKS
If the PC’s ask anybody in the Harbor Area they will tell them the Rumor about
Hooded Strangers and direct them to the Warehouses. Only the Bribed Harbor
Master and other officials might claim to be unaware. Another group of Investigators
Might be trailing them and will try to steal any Jewels they are likely to find. The PC’s
Can easily Hire or Steal a Fishing Boat from here.
--WAREHOUSE
There are 10 Cultists armed with Fanged Daggers and Spears. If wounded by a Fang
A player must save vs Toughness or contract a disease that will gradually turn him into
an Evil Deep one in 4+1D6 Days. They find a stone Egg filled with Gems that glow.
The Egg is thin walled and has a Lid. It is a Relic that when filled with Gems is able to
Absorb Leyline energy and transfer it to opening and maintaining a Magic Portal.
The egg is easily smashed and the Gems recoverable. There is a Map showing the City
And 5 Points on it forming a Pentagram. The Warehouse is one of the marked Locations.

With Water blasts. There are 5 regular cultists as well. The Egg is in the basement. The
Keeper will explain that Dargon is coming in 5 Days and when he does he will drag
The entire City into the Sea. To close the Gate at the center of the pentagram all 5 Eggs
must be destroyed. The Keeper gives the party a scroll of Water Breathing.
--FISHING PIER
The Cultists are disguised as Fishermen. There are 15 of them. They have +2
To Grapple. There are also a dozen unsuspecting normal Fishermen on the Pier.
The Egg is easily found in a tiny Shrine devoted to all the Sea Gods. Once found
The Cultists Attack. The Giant Octopus under the Pier will pluck away one PC or
Fisherman per turn. Each Tentacle has 2 Wounds. It will flee when 4 are destroyed.
