[Team Superhydra] Titan's Heir Chapter 3.
🕑 Added 2020-04-28 18:03:12 +0000 UTCChapter 3: Grihoo
This adventure is designed for three to seven 2nd- to 4th-level characters and is optimized for five characters with an average party level (APL) of 3. Characters outside this level range cannot participate in this adventure. The adventure takes place on the island of The Skeleton Key, first featured in the adventure The Flight of the Predator and then in the follow-up adventure bearing its name. However, it can easily be placed on any remote island in a campaign setting of your choice.
Background
The Skeleton Key, a mysterious island hidden at the center of the Ocean of Warna, has just been rediscovered. The island is home to a tribe of warrior women named the Serpent Whisperers. They guard an ancient temple called the Temple of Grihoo. While they have sworn to protect the temple's secrets, none of the Whisperers actually know what lies within its lower levels. The characters, having crash-landed on the island, find themselves at the mercy of these warrior women. In order to learn more about the island's secrets and/or find a way to escape the island, they will need to gain their trust.
