This adventureis set aroundthearea between the town of Kavank, and the city of Coovrall; see map A. Coovrail is @ major trading centre. Caravans pass through there to many other towns and cities. Recently, caravans passing between Coovrail and Kavank have been repeatedly raided by a group of orcs and humans, Jed by a human thief called Thurgal Garvak. Among the items taken by his, group. is a holy relic that was being taken to Kavank, to be placed in the temple of Shayvere. Thurgal Garvak is really working for the high priest of Zyrgal, God of Darkness, whose objective was to ‘obtain the relic via the caravan raids. The raids on the caravans have been continued since the relic was seized,to disguise this fact. The party should start in Coovrail, where they can be fully equipped, and ‘where they hear rumours of the theft of the relicandthe frequentcaravan raids. They should then travel to Kavank, where they can obtain further information about therelicanditstheft. ‘The party may be attacked by the thieves, while on their way from Coovrail to Kavank. Alternatively, the pay can start in Kevanks though the lack of supplies reachingthistown, due to the raids, means that they ill not be the equipment they may Faracross the land, therearettalesto be told of the splendour of Coovrail, a bustling trading centre, inlandfrom the sea port of Halvar. its markets are the source of unusual, exotic, and intriguing items, and its back streets hold the Seeds of many a profitable adventure. Throngs of people come fromfarandwideto sampleits delights. You too have journeyed here, in search of adventure and excitement, drawn by tales of wealthy marchantsin need of protection, and fair men and women in search ‘of relief from the boredom of city life. You are also. seeking to increase the weight of your purse, Within the city, you have met like- minded adventurers, and together you seek for news that may lead to gain, in both money and power. Faracrossthe land, there are tales to be made in the splendour of Coovrail. Coovrail isalarge city. of bout5,000 inhabitants. itis a major trade centre, and is known for its markets and bazaars. Aparty can obtain any normal equipment at standard cost inthecty here is a thieves’ guild, from which thieves’ tools can be obtained by members, at standard rates, and by non-members at 25% above standard rates. There is also an assassins’ guild, but they will only deal with members. There ‘are mages guild buildings within the city, covering the various aspects of magic. There are plenty of high level spell-casters from whom. spells and magical. items may be ‘obtained for a high price. All sorts of magical items can be obtained from these guilds, but the more common. items are usually bought from shops around the city. The mages of the guilds will make tems to order, and will therefore take longer to supplyanitem, ‘whereas shops will have supplies ofthe more common items, readilyavailable. There are enough high-level NPC's living in the city, to provide training for any character who requires it, regardiess of character class.There is plenty ofaccommodationin the city. With the amount of national trade that Coovrail has, there is plenty of news from the rest of the country. ‘The most prominent news around the city is about the relic which has been. stolen recently, while on its way to the Temple of Shayvere, in Kavank. If the party listen to any taik around the city, they will hear about this. There is no temple of Shayvere in Coovrail, as her temples are few, and the temple at Kavank isthe major oneintheland. The party will discover that Shayere is the goddess of healing, and that she only accepts priestesses into her orde There are alternative temples in Coovrail the main onebeing dedicated to Alvair, goddess of trade and bargaining. However, further details ‘conceming the relic’ will have to be ‘obtained from the temple at Kavank. Due to the distribution of trade with Kavank, healing potions are in short supply in Coovrail, and are selling at five times their normal cost. Kavank is @ town of about 250 Inhabitants. Its major feature is the temple of Shayvere, goddess of healing, which is located to the northof the town on a small rise. Most of Kavank’s supplies come from trade with caravans from Coovrail, 50 the disruption of these caravans has restricted the availability of equipment. Standard equipment, ie. food, drink, Clothing, etc. is generally available, at 10% above standard rates, Metal, however, is in short supply, and although weapons and armour can be made in the town, they cost 100% to. 150% above standard prices. There is no thieves’ guildinthetown, nor is there an assassins’ guild. The town comes under the control of the ‘Coovrail thieves and assassins guilds. There is 2 small branch of the mages’ guild, which can produce some minor ‘Magic items, but this willtake time and cost atleast twice the standard rate. The only temple in the area is the temple of Shayvere. As Shayvere is the goddess of healing, and her temples are the major source of magical healing, potions of healing can be ‘obtained at standard prices. Such potions will havetobe obtained directly from the temple. Shayvere is a lawful good deity, as are her followers. The temple has 44 clericsin residence, plus the High Priestess, Sou-vaydan. Details of the priestesses are given at the end of this scenario, Thereisa shop inKavankwhichsells ‘magical items, but they are in short supply. There is a 20% chance of a+1/+5 sword being in stock. A 15% chance of a +1/+5 mace being in stock, and only a 5% chance of any ‘other type of common +1/+5weapon. There is a 1% chance of any other specific, minor magic item being available. ‘Any character requiring training will probably have to journey to Coovrail, though there are some low level fighters in town, and of course, there are the priestesses of Shayvere. The priestesses will usually only train other priestesses of Shayere. There are two inns in Kavank, the Singing Dragon and the Adventurer's Head. Both provide accommodation, but in the Adventurer's Head there is a 5% chance each night that a ist. level thief staying there, will attempt to steal something from the party. If the party has not already been to Coovrail, they will be able to hear the same about the theft of the relic as they would in Coovrail. ftheyaskaroundthe town, they will aso find out that there has been movementaround the ruin of Beasron Keep in the Shadowed Wood, IF the party approach the temple concerning the relic, the Priestesses ‘will be intially suspicious. Should they be able to prove their good intentions, the High Priestess Sou-vaydan will give them the following information: 1. The relic isa goblet, and hasgreat healing powers, but canonlybeused by apriestess of Shayvere. 2. Two of the members of the caravan party that was carrying the relic, survived the attack. They have been questioned, and told of an attack. by a group of orcs. They claim there were about fifty orcs, but Sou-vaydan is quite sure that this is a highly exaggerated figure 3. One of the priestesses who was travelling with the relic is unaccounted for. She was not with the survivors, and her body was not found with the others. the name of the priestess was Eliblan, Sou-vayden willalsotellthepartythat there have been recent reports of movement in the ruins of Beasron Keep. She willalsoinformthepartythat Beasron Keep hasbeen abondonedfor at least 400 years, and that it now lies, within the Shadowed Wood. She can supply the party with a sketch-map, showing the rough locationofthe Keep (Map C). She has recently communed with Shayere, and the answers she received point to the Keep, so she will turge the party to try that as their first step in retrieving the relic, and finding the missing priestess. ‘The Road: While travelling along the road, encounters should be checked for three times a day, and once per night.

They could even be persuaded to lead the party there, though they wll try to lead them into a trap at the first ‘opportunity. 10. A small caravan, travelling from Coovrail to Kavank.

There are always three orcs on guard here. This level is 15° above the ground level, and provides a good view of the approaches to the tower.

This is where the orcs live. There is straw heaped in the cells, and the floor of the main corridorislittered with ‘a mixture of dirty old straw, bones and scraps of half eaten food. Ifthe strawin the cells is searched, atotal of 74 silver coins can be found. Therewill be 10-15 orcs here, 1-6 of which will be asleep. The rest'will be scrabbling about, playing dice, etc. AGS com Is being used by Thurgal Garvak to store things stolen from the raided caravans, before they are taken into Coovrail, where they are resold. This is also where the money from the sale of stolen goods is kept. ‘Stored in the room are: 400 silver coins worth of silk;twolargetapestries, worth 150 and’ 200 silver coins, respectively; a necklace worth 112 silver coins; and a locked box which contains 424 silver coins and 33 gold coins. Ina comer, wrapped up ina pieceof tattered cloth is a +1/+5 mace. As none of the thieves can use this, Thurgal Garvak is planning to sellitto Kell, the High Priest of Zyrgal who originally hired him to steal the relic.

There is ‘water below the level of the entrance, and above the entrance, @ ladder has been fixed which leads up to the exit hole, in the woods. ‘4, The southern exit from this room has been blocked with rubble. Carved in the walls are pictures of men and women, dying and dead. Closer examination will show that the people are dying from some form of disease. Hanging on the rubble are two holy symbols, one of Shayvere, goddess of healing, and the other of Fegarch. god of defence. They were placed there to aid in containing the plague which hit the Keep, beyond the barrier of rubble. If the party want to open the passageway, they can do $0 in two days, working non-stop.5. This room was used to dump those who had died of the plague, and. those who had definitely caughtit. The place is scattered with rotten rags, which were once clothing, and which vill turn to dust if disturbed. There are also three skeletons lying around the oom. These were people who had not died of plague, but whose bodies where thrown in here just in case. ‘While the party isin here, and in the cave system, there isa 1 in6 chance of encountering 1-4 plague Zombies, every third tum, The caves were found when this room was excavated, but the plague stopped any exploration of them. The caves are covered with mosses and lichens, and are very damp.
