INTRODUCTION

Adventure background

When the PCs encounter the witches,

remind the players that the witches are using

the bodies of elven maidens. Encourage the

players to think of ways of capturing and

defeatingthe witches without inflicting physi-

cal damage. If the PCs capture a Siswa or

witch, give the PCs the appropriate experi-

ence points. If they kill a Siswa or witch, sub-

tract the experience points from the PCs!

To capture, rather than kill, a Siswa or

witch, the players must say they are trying to

capture their opponent. Then, count all dam-

age toward unconsciousness, rather than

death. NPCs fall unconscious when their hit

points reach zero. PCs should usually have

enough time to tie up unconscious enemies

before they wake up. PCs cannot capture

non-living opponents and creatures such as

the water weird (see New Monsters).

module.

Deep in a lush, enchanted forest lies a pleas-

ant elven village. For years, the whole village

prospered. The people lived from the forest

around their mountain village and temple.

Four weeks ago, an evil human cleric,

known only as “the Rahib,” broke into the

temple. He was looking for a treasure-a

young maiden’s dowry, rumored to be in the

temple. Instead, he discovered a secret cav-

ern under the temple. The cavern contains

the ruins of an ancient wizard’s tower.

While exploring the ruins, the Rahib dis-

covered three witches whose spirits’ were

trapped in statues. The witches, Karelena,

Solorena, and Trilena, convinced the Rahib

to help them escape. To escape, each witch

must take over a maiden’s body, trapping the

maiden’s spirit in the statue where the witch

was.

Using the witches’ knowledge, the Rahib

magically charmed and enslaved the Siswa-

the elven students and teachers who lived in

the temple. Two nights ago, the Rahib and

the charmed elves sneaked into the village

and kidnapped two elven maidens, Sylva and

Merisa. The Rahib freed Karelena and

Solerena, trapping Sylva and Merisa’s spir-

its. The Rahib has only to kidnap Rahasia,

the most beautiful elven maiden, to free the

last witch, Trilena.

When they are all free and together, the

three witches are each much more powerful

than when alone. So, until Trilena is freed,

Karelena and Solorena will not leave the

tower ruins.

After finding a letter, the PCs (player charac-

ters) go to the elven village and meet Raha-

sia, the most beautiful elven maiden. Her

father and her betrothed both went to the

temple, but never returned.

The PCs must go to the temple and find

Rahasia’s father and betrothed. Then they

must find the cavern, release the imprisoned

elven maidens and destroy the Rahib and the

witches.

The Siswa (elven students and teachers) who

were charmed by the Rahib are not really

responsible for their actions because they are

magically controlled. Encourage your play-

ers to think of ways to get around the Siswa

without killing them. The charm keeps them

in a dream-like state, but it is possible to talk

to them. The charm also changes their align-

ment to chaotic. When the Rahib and the

witches are destroyed, the Siswa change back

to normal. Until then, however, they follow

the Rahib’s orders.

About this module

Rahasia is an adventure designed for five to

eight PCs of the second to third levels of expe-

rience. A balance of character classes is help-

ful since the PCs face a variety of problems.

Read this entire adventure before playing

it. This adventure includes some complicated

traps. Pay special attention to them before

playing, to make make your game flow more

smoothly. Read boxed text aloud to players.

Whenever NPCs (non-player characters)

and monsters appear in the text, their abili-

ties are listed this way:

Name (number appearing): Armor Class;

Character Class & Level or Hit Dice; hit

points; Movement per turn (per round);

number of attacks per round; Damage;

Save As: Class/Level; Morale; Align-

ment; Experience Point value; and other

abilities when appropriate

ate

Certain areas in the temple and tower contain

magical portals. The portals magically con-

nect two places. Some portals only send, oth-

ers only receive. When characters pass

through a sending portal they instantly

appear at its receiving portal. Characters

cannot tell when they pass through a portal,

unless they realize they are not where they

expected to be. Once characters go through a

portal, they cannot come back the same way.

Objects put partway into sendingportals can-

not be withdrawn; they must go all the way

through.

STARTING THE ADVENTURE

of Kota-Hutan. Beyond the village, a moun-

tain of gray stone thrusts up from the sweet

meadow grasses.

Let the players read Rahasia’s letter on the

pull-out page at the end of the module.

Sylva and Merisa. Rahasia accompanies the

characters to the roadside shrine on their way

to the temple.

If the PCs refuse to help Rahasia and the

other elves, they are politely, but firmly, sent

on their way-they are not wanted and their

presence could bring down the wrath of the

Rahib. In the woods beyond the village, the

PCs are ambushed by a large group of Siswa

led by the Rahib. The PCs are showered with

vials of sleeping gas with no chance to make

saving throws. The PCs are taken to the tem-

ple and locked in cells f, g, and h in area 49.

The PCs wake up in those cells and must

escape from there.

THE ELVEN VILLAGE

In the village, the delicate elven dwellings

mirror the grace of their people. Yet the

faces of the villagers reveal great sadness.

You soon are lead to an elven maid, whose

veiled grace and beauty outshines all oth-

ers present as the sun outshines the

stars-she

THE FOREST

The beautiful elven forest sleeps peace-

fully about you. Leafy green trees with sil-

ver and white trunks stand in blissful

grandeur as far as you can see. The trail

you walk winds toward the high moun-

tains nearby to the north. The forest’s car-

pet of ferns and deep green bushes is

punctuated by the bright reds, blues, and

yellows

is Rahasia.

GETTING To THE TEMPLE

A trail leads from the elven village into the

mountains. Before the PCs leave the village,

the elves give them a map of the area (Map 1)

and warn them of wandering bands of Siswa

who attack and slay outsiders. The elves sug-

gest that the PCs find some way to get to the

temple unseen. The PCs do not encounter

anyone on the way to the temple, but you

should roll a few false encounter checks to

keep the players guessing. About halfway to

the temple, the PCs come upon the roadside

shrine.

“Will you aid me?” she asks.

If the characters accept, the elves will provide

food and shelter, but no other aid, though

they will hide badly wounded characters from

the Siswa while they heal. The elves cannot

tell the PCs very much about the temple

because all the elves who are familiar with the

temple are under the Rahib’s control. The

elves do know, however, that the temple was

protected by a powerful guardian before the

Rahib came. They think that the Rahib must

have destroyed the guardian. They also show

the PCs sketches of the kidnapped maidens,

the abundant woodland

flowers.

Ahead, sunlight flashes off metal lying

in the path. Armor-elven armor-and

whoever wears it is not moving.

The elf on the trail died not long ago, perhaps

slain by bandits. His armor is crumpled and

useless. A search of the body reveals only a

piece of parchment bearing a message in both

Common Tongue and Elvish.

Up the mountain path lies the elven village

THE ROADSIDE SHRINE

Use Map 1 for the Roadside Shrine.

A small roadside shrine sits near the path

to the temple.

Rahasia stops here to offer incense. The

shrine’s entrance is in the center of the west

wall, and the main room is 15 feet square. In

the north and south walls are 10-foot-by-10-

foot alcoves.

Before the northern alcove is a small statue

of a strong-looking man with a long beard,

sitting upon an altar with his legs crossed.

Rahasia tells the PCs that the man was a sage

of great power, the founder of the Quiet Way

and the spiritual leader of the Siswa. He dis-

appeared in a horrible battle with three

witches who attacked his tower-home many,

many years ago. If the PCs try to investigate

the statue or the alcove behind it, Rahasia

tells them that they must not disgrace the Old

One by walking past his gaze. (This custom

prevents outsiders from entering the temple

unannounced, but this reason is long forgot-

ten.)

The northern alcove is a magic portal that

teleports anyone entering it to area 41 on the

lower level of the temple. The southern

alcove is a receiving portal from the same

area.

ADVENTURE IN THE TEMPLE OF GRAY MOUNTAIN

Courtyard and Upper Temple

Level

Use Map 2 for areas 1-24.

In the courtyard and upper level, check for

random encounters every third game turn.

Roll ld6. A result of 6 means the PCs

encounter something. When an encounter

occurs, roll ld12 and use the resulting

encounter on Table 1.

3-10. SMALL SHEDS

The shed is a 10-foot-by-20-footarea with

a dirt floor and thatched roof. The shed’s

rear wall is formed by the courtyard wall.

The shed’s walls are made of woven reeds

on a wooden framework.

All of the sheds are empty, except number 7.

It contains two leather sacks marked with the

word “Tithe” in Common Tongue and

embossed with two small black panthers.

Each sack contains 250 cp.

Many years ago, friendly dwarves helped the

elves built most of the temple in return for

protection and aid from the elves and Elyas.

The upper level chambers are natural cav-

erns where the elves worshipped. The pas-

sages were carved out by the dwarves.

Since the arrival of the Rahib, the Siswa

rarely visit the upper level of the temple. The

entire upper level is unlit and unused. Thick

dust covers most things and cobwebs are

common throughout. The Siswa use the

stairways in the courtyard shrines to reach

the lower levels.

If captured Siswa are questioned about the

temple, they only explain how they used to

use the temple, saying:

1. OUTSIDE THE TEMPLE

The gates of the temple are silver double

doors that are 30 feet wide overall. They

are ornately carved with forest scenes, and

stand silently shut. The outer walls of the

temple are vine-covered stone, and about

20 feet high. At the corners of the south

wall, delicate domes rise 10 feet above the

walls.

11. COURTYARD POOL

The pool is 40 feet long and 30 feet across.

Its stone rim rises three feet above the

ground. The water within has gone brack-

ish and putrid, looking almost glossy

black.

“When we come to the temple, we climb

the steps to the temple doors (14). Passing

through the doors, we turn to the right

and stop in a small room (15) to put on

robes of worship. Then we walk down the

hallway through a large cavern (16).

Next, we move along another hallway (17)

past several small rooms. We then go

through a magical passage (18132) to

another hallway. From there, we enter the

main temple (35), where we worship.

When we finish, we leave the main temple

(35) and go down a hallway, through a

magical portal (33/21) to another hallway

(22) that is strewn with flower petals. That

hallway opens into the temple of the

Siswa. The Well of Punishment is in that

room. After returning our robes we leave

the temple.”

Water Weird: AC 5; HD 3; hp 12; MV

60’(20’); #AT 1; D 1 + drowning; Save

F6; ML 12; AL C; XP 35

The water weird is guarding two large jars at

the bottom of the pool. Each jar contains 150

cp, 350 sp, and 200 gp. Buried in the murky

filth at the bottom of the pool are 6 gems,

worth 100 gp each. Characters have a 2 in 6

chance of finding one gem in the black scum

each turn they search. Charactersmay search

as long as they like. Characters who splash

about in the water for more than three turns

attract a wandering monster from Table 1.

2. COURTYARD

The double doors open into a courtyard

that is 80 feet deep and 90 feet wide. Once

well cared for, the dirt floor is now choked

with weeds. In the center of the yard sits a

large pool. Just beyond the pool is a set of

stairs leading to the main doors of the tem-

ple itself. Four wooden sheds are attached

to the west wall, and another four to the

east wall. In the southern corners of the

courtyard are two small octagonal stone

buildings, each covered by a delicate-

looking dome. The buildings are about 30

feet wide.
