Find rare information

The temple sank into a deep rift which has no natural light. Between the sharp rocks and seaweed lie the ruins, and among the ruins hide two dead merfolk guards, and two hulking crabs. The hulking crabs probably can’t be noticed because of their Shell Camouflage trait.

General Features
Illumination. There are no light sources in the temple.
Water. For creatures with no swimming speed all the areas of the temple are difficult terrain. The depth of water is less than 2 feet (areas 1-3), and more than 3 feet (areas 4 onward), except where noted differently in the description.
Ceilings. Because of the effects of the elemental plane of water, the ceilings are covered in water, which is at least 1 foot deep. The ceilings are 12 feet high in hallways, and up to 20 feet high in rooms.
Size. Even though merrow are large, for all intents and purposes of this adventure one square equals 5 feet and they fit into the corridors easily because their bodies’ forms are more elongated and lean rather than bulky.

1. Entrance

You dive down a narrow staircase going deeper until you find yourselves in a small room. A corridor leads to the south. There is air in that room, the water parted in the middle.  Two feet of murky water cover the floor and there is also water on the ceiling. It drips occasionally, the drops falling both down and up.

Except the curious effect of the split water, there is nothing of interest in this room. It is safe to rest here.

2. Offal Room
In the center is a rectangular well-like feature, like a hollow, broken pillar. Its depth is deeper than the floor and there is no water inside. The well is filled with bones, skulls and other parts of creatures, some killed not too long ago.

Treasure. Digging through the bones and offal yields a small pouch of 13 sp, and a copper ring worth 10 gp. a Wand of scowls.

3. Hall of Waves
The walls of this wide hallway are carved with images of the sky and its might, like great storms, clouds, the sun, moon and stars and many bird like people flying around. There is a repeating ring pattern that is easily noticeable; a successful DC 12 Intelligence (Religion) check recognizes it as the holy symbol of Astaria, though you also notice each of these symbols has been struck through.

4. Ambush

You step down a small flight of stairs into deeper water. In front of you lies a large room. To the sides narrow hallways disappear in the darkness as far as you can see. Suddenly you spot a ripple on the surface. Something big is swimming towards you.

Two chaos elementals attack, one from each side of the corridor.

5. Merrow Barracks
The rank and file of the merrow tribe spend time resting and sleeping here. There is nothing of value here. 

6. Hall of Depths
This large chamber was formerly the temple’s main hall. The water swirls slowly clockwise in the middle. There is another swirling mass on the ceiling which moves counter clockwise. Large portions of the floor are ruined and the water is 5 feet deep there (the darker shade of blue on the map).

4 elementals attack in here. More will be summoned through the centre every other round

Exploring the Hall. After the fight ends the characters might want to explore the room. The only thing of interest is the ruined carvings on the walls which again show the aarakokra flying in the skies around the symbols of Astaria.  The carvings go all around, except where the walls have been ruined and on the far south wall (see area 6A) and on the east wall, where they create a shape of the symbol of Astaria. A character making a successful DC 16 Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Perception) check there notices that the  shapes outline a hidden round door. It’s then easy to find stones that can be pushed to unlatch it and open the heavy stone door into a secret room the chaos didn’t find.

6A. The Drain Portal

In the middle of the wall there is an ominous looking, perfectly smooth hemispherical cavity, one foot in diameter, surrounded by a network of grooves perfectly fitting the carvings. Sharp hooked blades of stone jut out below it. They seem to be encrusted with blood.

The chaos sacrifice prisoners here. When blood soaks the stone blades it runs into the grooves and flows around them filling the cavity. The whole wall starts glowing eerily, and when the blood fills it completely, you can peer into the space between planes. The chaos discovered this and corrupted the purifying powers of Astarias sunken temple. 

A body has to be sacrificed to the portal to feed it enough blood by attaching it to a protruding stone blade. Unconscious characters are in dire danger of dying here, because they automatically fail their death saving throws. A character who is conscious and still attached to a blade takes 1d4 piercing damage at the beginning of their turn. A character can use an action to free themselves or others.

Closing the Portal. The portal can be closed forever by putting the giant  plug (see area 9) into the cavity and turning it until it fits perfectly. Closing the portal ends the magic effects of the elemental plane of water on the temple. The water from the ceiling immediately falls down, and the rest of the temple fills completely in a matter of rounds. The walls and the ceilings start shaking. This is a dramatic cue for the characters to make a quick exit as the temple crumbles around them. It remains buried under the sea forever.

7A. and 7B. Shallowpriests Quarters
These rooms are identical, except for the items inside them. This is where the shallowpriests reside. The west room (7A) has a door that is a bit stuck and requires an action to open. These merrow leaders decorated their rooms with trophies from their hunts. Planks with ship names, ship flags, other driftwood, bones, skulls or other worthless seafaring paraphernalia adorn the walls. Each merrow also has a ship’s figurehead – a male merfolk figurehead in the east room, and a cloaked human in the west room. Both are carved from wood, the latter one is black and magical. Consider putting your own quest items here to be found.

Treasure. Wraith figurehead.

Wraith Figurehead
This figurehead depicts an undead-looking emaciated figure wrapped in a hooded cloak. It’s carved of black wood and can be mounted on a ship. Under a detect magic spell, the figurehead radiates transmutation magic. As an action, the ship can activate this item to cast etherealness as a spell. The whole ship is affected by the spell, but the duration is shortened to a maximum of 10 minutes. Once a ship uses this action, it can’t use it again for 24 hours.

(For other Superior Ship Upgrades see Ghosts of Saltmarsh, pages 196-198.)

8. The Treasure Room
What bounty the merrow claimed, they stored in here. There are two broken statues in the room. They used to represent Istishia, but they can’t be identified any longer. The treasure fills a couple of barrels, crates, and open chests.

Treasure. There is a total of 575 cp, 8,877 sp, 1,452 gp, and 60 pp. There is a silk bag with 12 pearls inside, each worth 100 gp, a broken spyglass (easily fixed by casting mending 1d4 times), an empty bag of holding, and three glass vials: potion of animal friendship, potion of resistance (cold damage), potion of greater healing.

9. Hidden Sanctum of Purification

A statue of Astaria dominates this small sanctum. It’s cradling a small altar with three round indents. In two of them stand fist sized round pearls – one blue, the other green. In the middle stands a bigger translucent round dark blue crystal with a metal handle resembling a large plug. The walls are filled with carvings. on the right hand wall are images of the sea (blue), on the forward wall is images of land (green) and the left are images of the sky (white)

The pacifier-plug item is one foot in diameter and fits the hemispherical indent in area 6A like a glove (see Closing the Portal section there). The characters can make that connection easily, no check needed. If anyone examines the crystal, they can see the cresting wave symbol that is everywhere in this dungeon undulating and glowing gently inside it.

The pearls are worth 1,000 gp each, but they also serve another purpose. By examining the statue-altar, and succeeding on a DC 14 Intelligence (Investigation) check, a secret compartment can be found and opened. Inside it is another fist-sized pearl, this one with a white sheen. The three pearls can be combined on the altar indents. Combined in the correct way they magically retrieve the lantern of Astaria. If the pearls are placed in the wrong order, they dissolve into sand. All three pearls must be placed into the indents for the magic to work, properly or improperly. Under a detect magic spell, the statue and the altar radiate conjuration magic.

The key to figuring out the order lies in the wall carvings, any character that studies the carvings can make a DC 12 Intelligence (Nature) check to figure it out.

Narrative

  • Start: 
    • You all stand, ready waiting; eyes peeled watching for any movement. It starts with  a slight darkening of the sky, a building whisper carried on a breeze that wasn't there. 'Zephyra'
    • The clouds start rapidly forming above you growing black and crackling with multicoloured energy. The wind picks up, blowing the sand all around you making it hard to see. Then you all hear the voice of Valdron. 'Finally, there you are my Zephyra, come to join me at last'. The voice is bodyless, echoing down from the clouds that continue to spark and crackle with every word.
    • At the centre of the growing storm, the clouds begin to thicken and twist, reaching out to the ground like a tornado. 
    • The wind picks up further, blowing  sand into all of your eyes. blinking it away you now see a figure of a man, not a tornado, hovering directly in front of Zephyra.
    • He is tall, muscular, grey haired and handsom. He wears a black robe the colour of the clouds that also sparks and crackles. He reaches out a hand to Zephyra gripping your chin and staring directly into your eyes. 'Finally'.
    • Roll for initiative
  • Zephyra speech:
    • 'I made you what you are, chaos is in your nature.'
    • 'You want this, you want to be powerful, you want to rival a god, you can if you join me'
    • 'Dont kid yourself, you are not at good person, you merely pretend'
  • Death1: 
    • Something to do with the situation.
    • The wind around you stops suddenly, the sand all drops to the ground
    • He coughs up somethign thick and black, clutching at his wounds
    • 'Is this really what you want, to kill me, to kill your own chance to be spectacular'
    • His form starts oozing, as though his whole being is just fabric containing this sludge. He completely unwinds, disintegrating into dust at the floor.
  • Big elementals apear:
    • Then the laughter begins, deafendingly loud and echoing from all directions all at once.
    • 'How about i destroy your little friends then, you will jpin with me, now you get to suffer first.'
    • Chaos lightnight fires out all around you, thick freezing rain starts to fall from the choas clouds. The grounds beneth you starts to shake and crack.
    • On one side of you the lightning, red as flame starts to merge and grow, brighter and brighter, burning at your retiners and your skin and the largest fire elemental you could have imagined apears, the heat so intense the sand beneath it melts to lava.
    • On another side the rain swirls, into a ball that pulsates rapidly, growing with each heartbeat until a tsunami is formed in the air, unconnected to any water source, and freezing the sand beneath it as it claws its way towards you.
    • and beneath you, the earthquake grows huge canions of sand and stone melt away as acid bubbles up through the cracks followed by a mountain of stone rising upwards. rising and rising until it towers over the area - an earth elemental who melts the earth around it with acid.
  • Elemental deaths:
    • The elemental seems to start tearing apart from the center, as though an invisible force is folding it repeatedly in two. Everyone within 5ft feels pulled towards the elemental, similar to the feeling when you get teleported.
  • Water: The first thing you notice is you are cold, you are wet, and you cannot breathe. Your eyes adjust to the darkness. There are a few bioluminescent plants lighting the area but otherwise it is dark with no sign of air. You must find a way out before you run our of breathe and what is worse, the water primordial stands in front of you.
  • Earth: Your eyes are momentarily dazzled by the chamge from darkness to bright sunshine. There are tall hedges forming narrow passages around you and the large earth primordial forming infront of you.
  • Fire: Heat blisters your skin, fire and lava in all directions. 
  • Chaos plane:
  • Valdron splitting: With each blow you are starting to catch glimpes within Valdron. Each slice parts the fabric of chaos just enough to see 3 glowing, pulsing orbs of energy withinhim, restrained by sinu and fighting to escape.

Outcomes

  1. You defeat Vadron with Zephyras knife - valdron is defeated forever
    1. You stab the orb and it shines blindingly around the wound for a brief moment then vanishes. The remaining tendrils of valdron start to convulse, twist, scream in pain and fury. The threads of choas begin to fray, snap, crumble to nothing until with a final scream of 'No' he is gone.
    2. The space around you also starts to fray and crumble. Light and darkness, colours exploading all around you, the air itself seems to be pulling itself apart. Those of you with Chaos start to feel the pain from it growing and it fights against its death. You need to get out of here, you dont know what will be on this plane once it ceases to exist, nor what will become of anything left here.
  2. You defeat Valdron not with Zephyras knife - Valdron is defeated and banished back to the chaos, to reform in thousands of years
  3. Zephyra dies not my valdrons hands, Valdron retreats to await the next air elemental genasi
    1. Valdron lets out a scream of frustration. 'I have been waiting so long for this. You, children. I might now be stuck on this plane until the next child of air and matter is born, but i can make sure you remeain here with me too. Next time you will be long gone and i will succeed.
  4. Valdron kills and absorbs Zephyra - the universe ends
    1. 'Yes!' Valdron tosses the body of Zephyra aside, sending it hurtling down into the void. You see in his hand the spirit of your friend, still fighting against the massive hand that holds her. He squeezes her spirit within both his hands, somehow condensing her into a bright pulsing sphere. The threads of his being part, exposing the 3 other orbs within. He places the spirit of air within and instantly reforms. He grows, grows and grows taking up the full space, more space than you can now imagine. Tears apear in the air around you and through them you can see people, places, creatures from across the planes. all turning and running in fear and tendrils of chaos hurtle through and begin their destruction. 'You all get to bare witness to the end of the universe, my great triumph'. You watch, in mere moments as the fabric of reality is torn apart before your eyes, before you too feel yourselves torn apart too. Leaving nothing by darkness and the ringing of terrible laughter. The End
