Difficulty: Level 3

The great city of Agamentar lives in the shadows of its dead. Graves cluster in alleys, mausoleums crouch amid homes, and sarcophagi loom from eaves like gargoyles. These honored dead are treated with reverence. Yet now terror stalks the streets of the Tomb City. The bodies of old friends have vanished. Do murdering tomb robbers skulk through the night, or have Agamentar's silent citizens found a way back from death?

Follow up:

Roaming One hitched a ride with a merchant to the town of Agamentar. As soon as the merchant dropped off Roaming One he hurriedly drove his carriage away, too afraid to glance back even once.

Roaming One made a Wisdom check with a difficulty of 12 . . . and rolled 11

Roaming One moved in to investigate, and started choking on the moss's poisonous spores. He grabbed the sapphire and ran out of the toxic cloud, but almost too late.

Roaming One made a Charisma check with a difficulty of 13 . . . and rolled 10

Roaming One convinced the thieving dwarves that he was part of a freelance patrol sent to look for graverobbers, but that he?d "look the other way" if they gave him a taste of the action. The dwarves quickly handed over a small, jingling pouch and took off into the darkness.

Roaming One received 80 XP and 62 gold.

Roaming One made a Charisma check with a difficulty of 14 . . . and rolled 24

Roaming One nodded in agreement, reaching for his money pouch. Then, with jaw dropped, he stared wide-eyed past the thieves and shouted in his most terrified-sounding voice, "The Ghost!" When the robbers nervously turned to look, Roaming One took them both down mace in hand.

Roaming One received 90 XP and 40 gold.

Encounter 10: Final Encounter (Magic)

Roaming One almost believed the dead really were walking out of their tombs when he saw a small band of thieves open one of the sarcophagi. One of them, clearly a necromancer, began casting a spell. Roaming One had to assume it would turn the corpse into a zombie and needed to act fast.

Roaming One made a Strength check with a difficulty of 14 . . . and rolled 17

Roaming One ran up behind the necromancer and hoisted the evil mage's thin body above his head. As the energies of the spell crackled on the mage's fingertips, Roaming One turned and threw the mage down a deep open sewer shaft. The other tomb robbers turned on him, but the will to fight had already drained out of them, and they went down easily. Roaming One closed the sarcophagus and collected the reward.
