Now he lives on as a lich, issuing terrible decrees in a hoarse whisper through rotting teeth. A Compleat Encounter, scalable to any level, featuring a lich sovereign, his mummy queen, and the wretched soulstone.

I used this Compleat Encounter to run a short session for one of my players who ran the last campaign sessions for us. We wanted to find out what had happened to her character, lost alone in a huge dungeon complex during all this time, and I decided to use the Vault of the Whispering Tyrant.

The miniatures themselves are absolutely gorgeous. I particularly love the lich's "concubine". Great to find a female non-vampire undead so nicely (or should I say, creepily) done.

The reason for the "4" is the actual map. While the perspective weren't as bothering with the Dark Elf Sanctum, the use on this battlemap in four tiles of numerous stairs makes it sometimes hard to see what section of floor is "above" and which is "down". A bit confusing.

Still, a great Compleat Encounter for the mini-plot and miniatures.
