Castles & Crusades U3 – Fingers of the Forsaken Hand

Description

Fingers of the Forsaken Hand is adventure module U3 for Castles & Crusades

Fingers of the Forsaken Hand is a stand alone adventure for parties who love exploration of haunted places.

Upon the windswept slopes of the hooked peak known as the Sickle lies the entrance to an ancient testing ground. Here, in days past, a sect of wizards, druids, and powerful warriors built their abode. A great store of wealth and knowledge they brought to their temple, built in the hopes of finding the secret of eternal peace. Legends tell of a day when the mountain shook, and the sky turned crimson and black, and great magics were flung across the foothills in an epic struggle… and then the Sickle grew quiet, and has remained that way for eons.

These legends linger in the memories of only a few. In the town of Brionne, at the base of the Sickle, stories are spun of the Mountain as a source of fabulous wealth and unimaginable power.

At the end of a long range of rounded, weathered mountains, and surrounded by treacherous terrain, the mountain remains tall and defiant. It rears its curved peak above the surrounding landscape, perpetually swept by swirling winds and snow.

Rumors have ever lingered around the mountain now known as the Sickle. The legends say that the forsaken sect still dwells in darkness, within the rock. Brave and clever adventurers who find the entrance and venture within can claim ancient treasures said to lie ripe for the picking!

Only the very brave, or very foolish, would dare to seek their fortunes in its forsaken halls.
