Trapped in a cursed maze beneath the ruined city, the heroes chase the illusion of a sacred artifact. As Kaelen’s cursed wound worsens and Aelinthir unravels emotionally, the party faces deadly traps, hallucinatory corridors, and a room packed with undead horrors. But when they realize the Orb of Rah was never real, their purpose shifts—from hope to vengeance.
Descending into a suffocating maze beneath a ruined city, the party encounters Varlek the Craven at last—but not before Kaelen is cursed by a necromantic dagger. As the ancient tomb collapses and the necromancer vanishes into shadow, the party is left reeling, their strongest warrior dying, and the only hope for a cure buried deeper in darkness.
As they descended, stone gave way to something older—walls that curved like bones, rooms preserved for a purpose long forgotten. In the heart of the darkness, they found it: a cold chamber of metal and silence, a body vivisected with ritual precision, its insides arranged not for healing but for binding. And then the door closed behind them.
As the storm’s echoes faded, the party ventured into Shady Hollows, where fog clung low and silence reigned. Disturbed graves, vanished names, and a fleeing shadow led them to a forgotten crypt bearing the Hollowmere name.
As a supernatural storm descends upon Cresthaven, the temple becomes a battlefield. The dead rise not with hunger, but with relentless fury. The heroes hold the line as wave after wave crashes against the stone, and hope dims with each fallen villager.
