Scale & Shadow: Part 3, The Temple of Elemental Evil

Scale & Shadow: Part 3, The Temple of Elemental Evil

The golden age is long over. 

Whether by cruel kings, savage beasts, or unwise wizards wielding forgotten magics too great to be contained–dark times are upon us. The only hope for a comfortable life is to delve into what ruins remain to plunder the treasures of your ancestors to sell to the greedy and the foolish. 

Be warned, as if flies to a candle, the worst monsters are drawn to the brightest lights and no one is left to save you in the darkness. 

The heroes of legend have died long ago. All that remains is:

Scale & Shadow

Previously:

Last time, ghosts from the past urged our unlikely heroes to fight against a fallen priest, Lareth the Beautiful, to stop the completion of a profane ritual. Unbeknownst to them, Lareth’s defeat, served as the last sacrifice that awakened an ancient Elemental Evil.

The Village of Hommlet has grown up around a crossroads in a once unremarkable woodland.. Once far from any important activity, it became embroiled in the struggle between gods and demons when the Temple of Elemental Evil arose but a few leagues away. 

Luckily for its inhabitants, the Temple and its evil hordes were destroyed years ago, but Hommlet still suffers from incursions of bandits and strange monsters. 

But how long can they hope the dark entities will remain chained away in the depths of the Temple’s dungeons?
