Hi Paizonians.

I’m looking for a good dungeon adventure (from Dungeon magazine) from the 3.5 era (preferably, although I could go 3.0). Ideally it should be a smallish or compact dungeon that can be completed in one session – either a whole adventure or a dungeon that forms one site of an adventure.

Somewhere in the 8th to 11th level range.

Bonus points if it is a remnant of an ancient civilisation and/or features ‘unusual’ monsters – aberrations, outsiders and constructs are all good.

Can anyone recommend anything like that?

Yup: "Caverns of the Ooze Lord" in Dungeon #132, it's 3.5 dungeon that I think meets all your criteria.


Pit of the Fire Lord in issue #125 is level appropriate and quick to play. However, it's the last part of the Shards of Eberron series and is kinda weak.

Any of the Following Should Work:

All in the form:

Dungeon Issue # - Title - Advised Total Character Levels - Description

089 - Headless - 48 - Stop an evil priestess from constructing a Deathgate, which will suck all the souls of the recently deceased into the Abyss and feed the hunger of Orcus.

091 - Kambranex’s Machinations - 36 - A mad wizard living in a volcano fortress has taken a tribal village captive and is using the tribesmen and captive monsters as slave labor for his mines and subjects for his experiments on melding living creatures and mechanical constructs. Put an end to his evil scheme.

094 - Spiral of Manzessine - 44 - While traveling through the Underdark, a cave-in seals the main passage, and the only way around is through a mind-flayer prison for their most dangerous criminals.

095 - Jackal’s Redemption, The - 36 - As a nearby wizard’s tower begins phasing in and out of the material plane, the wizard himself has been missing for months as red fiendish creatures raid the nearby countryside and kidnap locals. Enter the tower and travel to Gehenna to overturn the plans of the fiend who seduced the wizard and put these events into motion.

107 - Mellorn Hospitality - 28 - Every seven years the Mellorn Elves open their woodland borders to host Festival of Life, which is also a great trading opportunity. However, the festival merely cloaks the cyclic hunting of a night hag. Acting as caravan escorts, guard a merchant and put an end to the night hag and her minions, and possibly close the portal through which she appears for good.

107 - Test of the Smoking Eye - 40 - SCAP: Journey to the Abyss and complete the Test of the Smoking Eye to claim dominion over the plane of Occipitus, part of Celestia that fell into the Abyss.

113 - Practical Magic - 36 - A magic-item crafter has gone missing in Marsember, and the clues point to her boyfriend, an aquatic elf. Lately, he’s the thrall of a merfolk vampire, but might point you to the real kidnapper, a mysterious necromancer who is animating a workforce of “expert zombies” to do mundane labor. He needs the help of the crafter, but this is not really a rescue, as she wants his secrets for herself.

125 - Pit of the Fire Lord - 32 - Shards of Eberron, pt3: A power-hungry aristocrat attempts to open a portal to the elemental plane of fire which will destroy Sharn.

129 - Gathering of Winds, A - 44 - AoWAP: The party returns to Diamond Lake to discover Allustan missing and a dragon rampaging through the area. Defeat the dragon and gain entry back into the Whispering Cairn to follow the trail of Allustan into a newly uncovered section of the tomb and the treasure that await, including a minor artifact.

131 - Hateful Legacy, The - 48 - Centuries ago a band of humanoids fled their losing war with their treasure to seek safety in a hidden vale. But the undead druid who insanely guards the vale saw to their demise by releasing clouds of poison gas from the vale’s lakes. Nearly a century ago a human lord attempted to find the lost treasure, but his first foray ended in disaster and the second never returned at all. Enter the vale once more, defeat its guardians and claim the ancient treasure.

132 - Caverns of the Ooze Lord - 32 - A cult of Juiblex the Slime Lord has arisen in a thorpe and begun transforming the residents into slime-people.

133 - Ill Made Graves - 28 - One of the northern barbarian tribes has defeated a great dragon, but suffered terrible losses in the process. With their king slain many neighbors have begun eyeing their lands covetously, but a greater threat arises when, at the king’s funeral, the pyre awaken the dragon’s spirit still residing in a tooth lodged in his corpse. Return the tooth to the dragon’s lair and destroy it in the flames of elemental fire found there.

138 - Weaver, The - 40 - A kenku sought to sell a rare and deadly spider, but was himself slain. Now its eggs threaten to unleash a plague of lethal vermin into the city.

HTH,

Rez

Hey Rez,

While you were away the last couple months someone started a couple Threads here looking for a list of Hags.

If you get a minute, the most recent Thread (in this Forum) is titled "Seeking a List of Appearing Hags."

Checking up on my Profile, huh?

OT comments to Ray:

Glad some people around here missed me.

I can't remember if you subscribed to my campaign's YahooGroup or not, but if you have then you know a little about what kept me away for the past several months, as well as the fact that things are much better now.

Hope you've been well.

Anyway, it's nice to be back.

R.
