Free Foundry MADventure - Temple of Dust! (Patreon)

Hey all!

We're here with this month's free Foundry 5e MADventure!

Temple of Dust is a fifth-edition adventure for three to five characters of 5th to 7th level and is optimized for four characters with an average party level (APL) of 6. As with all of our recent MADventures, Temple of Dust has been designed to insert into an existing campaign as an independent side adventure with a few simple renames.

For Temple of Dust, I wanted to make a desert biome adventure that didn't just automatically fall into the 'looks Egyptian' category, so I wrote the adventure around an unseasonable drought and the impact it had on a countryside. I definitely wasn't drawing inspiration from the brutal Summer we've had here in England this year...

"The plains and countryside surrounding Ohdaavin have long been famous for their sweeping plains of grass, rolling verdant hills, and abundant harvest - serving as the bread basket for much of the region. However, this past year has brought a merciless summer that would not abate - and now much of Ohdaavin is cracked, scorched earth. Wildfires tear across the land, and citizens cry out that their goddess of rain and renewal - She Who Brings the Rains, has abandoned the kingdom.

The truth is far more sinister."

Temple of Dust includes:

A fully formatted adventure journal, including suggested tactics and strategies for enemies.

The adventure provides 3 different hooks, which allow your group to encounter and interact with the adventure in very different ways depending on the sort of party you have.

The group stumble upon the survivors of an ambushed caravan, a delegation who had been travelling to the Temple of Spring to see why their local deity has seemingly forsaken them and the annual harvest. The group were attacked by a horde of skeletons as they were travelling.

Having established that the skeletons seem to have followed them from the temple they were unable to gain access to, the group end up investigating on behalf of the survivors.

Upon arriving at the temple, they find it sealed - but their efforts to unlock the temple entrance are interrupted by that most devious of foes; a random encounter table!

Having gained entrance to the temple by one of several means, the group are now free to investigate what has happened to this once-pristine temple dedicated to a harvest goddess of life, rain, and renewal - now filled with undead and necromantic energy.

Patrons are able to install the Foundry module for Temple of Dust now by installing the manifest file, now available in the Monthly Exclusives section of the All The Things™ tier Master List! This adventure is currently available for Foundry V14, with a V13 version arriving in the future.

This Foundry adventure will be free for All the Things tier Patrons until the end of the month, after which point it will be available on our web shop and other marketplaces!

We hope you enjoy this MADventure release!

Thanks for all your support, and as ever...Keep rollin' those 20s folks!Harrison, Alex, and Team MAD
