She demands assistance in the name of the god of the temple, and if rebuffed threatens to \u201cturn this vale and all the lands I can see from this peak into scorched and barren dust, where I shall gnash the bones of the dead.\u201d The dragon tells the Player Characters that \u201cthe temple champion has not returned,\u201d and asks the players to sneak into its lair \u201cin the valley that smokes\u201d and secure what is in \u201cthe chamber of earthfire\u201d from the goblins who tricked their way into her lair.<\/p>\n The priests confirm that the creature claims it has been wronged and has come to the temple to demand justice from their fearsome god, and the temple Champion, a warrior ordained to hand out justice in Krom\u2019s name, went to the lair a week ago with some of the former champions and has not yet returned. The priests will offer the adventurers the eternal gratitude of the temple and 100 gold each if they help. The priests will ask, then beg for assistance, eventually offering up to 500 gold to each Player Character if they will undertake the task.<\/p>\n For the wilderness portion of the adventure, journey here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This begins the first in a new weekly series of Pathfinder & 3rd Edition D&D adventures.
