Advanced Adventures #21: The Obsidian Sands of Syncrates

The Obsidian Sands of Syncrates is an OSRIC(tm) module designed for 6-10 adventures of levels 4-7. It was the tournament adventure at GenCon Indy 2011. Returning from a successful trading voyage to far-away lands, the party’s ship is stranded in the doldrums. After two days without any wind, the sky darkens and small particles of black ash fall like a dark snow. One-by-one, each party member feels an irresistible sleep suddenly come upon him. When the party awakes, it finds itself in what appears to be a giant coliseum, their seaworthy boat stranded upon the obsidian sands that line the floor of the great arena. What foul sorcery has sent you here and how will you return to your world? If you enjoy this adventure, look for future releases in the Advanced Adventures line from Expeditious Retreat Press.
