The Blackguard's Revenge (12) (3.5e)
An adventure for character levels 9-11
Remember the good old days¸ when adventures were underground¸ NPCs were there to be killed¸ and the finale of every dungeon was the dragon on the 20th level? Those days are back. Dungeon Crawl Classics don't waste your time with long-winded speeches¸ weird campaign settings¸ or NPCs who aren't meant to be killed. Each adventure is 100% good¸ solid dungeon crawl¸ with the monsters you know¸ the traps you fear¸ and the secret doors you know are there somewhere.
When the heroes come into town¸ word arrives that a nearby cloister of the god of valor is under siege by an army of undead. The adventurers travel to help defend the bastion of paladins¸ only to discover that these undead are actually ancient enemies of the paladins' order. They have discovered a way to exact vengeance for slights committed centuries ago¸ but to finish their plan they must breach the cloister's catacombs! Can the heroes battle them to the catacombs and defeat their horrific blackguard champion?
Features:
- You've asked for it: a DCC featuring an undead army. Here it is! A blackguard's army of wights¸ devourers¸ and mohrgs are ready to face your noble heroes.
- 48 keyed encounter areas against a relentless army of undead
- Includes four illustrated player handouts
- A magic item of near-artifact power holds the power to sway the battle -- will the heroes discover this fact in time to save the paladins?
