Face of the Scourge

A One-Round D&D® LIVING GREYHAWKTM
Keoland Regional Adventure
Version 0.1.0

by Harold Austin and Duncan McNeill-Burton

Reviewers: Keoland Triad Circle Reviewer: Steven Conforti

Cryllor has seen many changes, and in those changes a dangerous Count has returned to power, forcing
his benevolent daughter into seclusion. People starve in the streets, while a twisted justice is enforced in
the county. Can a single voice calling for help start a change that the county needs? A Keoland regional
adventure for APLs 2-12.

Note: This adventure will be of particular interest to Keoland Military and Cryllorian natives.

 DM AID: CITY OF CRYLLOR
City of Cryllor (Small City): Conventional, 15,000 gp limit; Assets: 6,300,000 gp; Population 8,400,
Mixed (38% Keoish, 16% Suel, 14% Flan, 13% Oeridain, 10% Dwarven, 4% Gnome, 3% Halfling, 1%
Other).
Authority Figures: Count Manz (LN, male Suel), Watch-Captain of Investigation Kelman (LE, male
Keoish), Lora Manz (NG female Suel).
The City of Cryllor is broken down into several districts/quarters, the only quarter without a city guard and
barracks is the Refugee Quarters:
Clerk Quarters is where the administrative work (taxes accounted for, headquarters to the city
guards, courthouses, etc) is done for the city. A National Academy of Wizardry chapter house, shrines to
various deities (Heironeous, Kord, Lydia, Rao and St. Cuthbert) can be found here. An acolyte maintains
all of the shrines, except Rao, which has been vandalized (‘Devil Spawn’, ‘Orc-friend’, and other insults).
Dock/Warehouse District is barely a step up from the Refugee Quarters, since the guilds and the
count pay for the security of the area. Goods that are destined for Keoland, are held in the warehouse
during the day and shipped out during the night, when they can be transported through the city without
being delayed. Goods being shipped out of the City, which do not require going into/through Keoland is
normally sent up the Javan (hence there is no delay for the city to be asleep for shipping). Due to the
proximity to the Javan River (the garbage dump for several major cities and settlements, the more
noxious supplies are kept farther from the roads (dyeing materials).
Noble/High Quarters is where the Count/Countess rules, entertains guests and other local nobles
maintain residency here. This area is centrally located in the City and holds the Count’s palace (fortress),
courts and an arena for competitions. A Chapel to Kelenan can be found in the arena.
Merchant/Market Quarters (also referred to as the Guild Quarters) is where the merchants (and other
craftsmen) live and work. The streets are named after the business that reside along it (i.e. gold street,
would have goldsmiths, black street would sell arms and weapons, etc.). There is also a central square
(called market square), which produces are sold, and entertainers roam around trying to earn a few
coins.
Refugee Quarters is broken down further into two distinct areas; the catacombs where the criminal
element usually stays and the refugee/dwarven area, which is patrolled by dwarves and Krelestro, who
keep the criminal element at bay (slavers, muggers, killers, etc). This area is outside the city walls and
near the docks/warhouse district (which is heavily patrolled by city guards and mercenaries).

 DM AID: NEW RULES
NEW FEATS
Practiced Spellcaster (Complete Arcane)
Prerequisite: Spellcraft 4 ranks.
Benefit: Your caster level for the chosen spellcasting class increases by 4. This benfit can’t increase
your caster level to higher than your Hit Dice. However, even if you can’t benefit from the full bonus
immediately, if you later gain Hit Dice in levels of nonspellcasting classes, you might be able to apply the
rest of the bonus.
For example, a human 5th-level sorcerer/3rd-level fighter who selects this feat would increase his
sorcerer caster level from 5th to 8th (since he has 8 Hit Dice). If he later gained a fighter level, he would
gain the remainder of the bonus and his sorcerer caster level would become 9th (since he now has 9 Hit
Dice).
A character with two or more spellcasting classes (such as a bard/sorcerer or a ranger/druid) must
choose which class gains the feat’s effect.
This feat does not affect your spells per day or spells known. It increases your caster level only,
which would help you penetrate spell resistance and increase the duration and other effects of your
spells.
Special: You may select this feat multiple times. Each time you choose it, you must apply it to a
different spellcasting class. For instance, a 4th-level cleric/5th-level wizard who had selected this feat
twice would cast cleric spells as an 8th-level caster and a wizard who spells as a 9th-level caster.

NEW ITEMS
Example (Complete Arcane)
These garments offer magic protection in the form of a +1 to +5 resistance bonus on all saving
throws.
Faint abjuration; CL 5th; Craft Wondrous Item, resistance, caster’s level must be at least three times
the vest’s bonus; Price 1,000 gp (+1), 4,000 gp (+2), 9,000 gp (+3), 16,000 gp (+4), 25,000 gp (+5);
Weight 1 lb.

NEW SPELLS
Blessed Aim (Spell Compendium)
Divination
Level: Cleric 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 50 feet
Target: 50-ft radius spread centered on you
Duration: 1 minute/level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: No
With the blessing of your deity, you bolster your allies aim with an eshortation
This spell grants you and your allies within the spread a +2 morale bonus on ranged attacks.
Divine Interdiction (Spell Compendium)
Abjuration
Level: Cleric 2
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25ft. +5ft. /2 levels)
Target: 10 ft.-radius emanation centered on creature, object or point in space
Duration: 1 round/level

KEO7-05 Face of the Scourge Page 42

Saving Throw: Will negates or None (object); see text
Spell Resistance: Yes or No (object); see text
You shout out a plea, calling upon your deity to quell the power of another diety’s follower.
This spell can be cast at a point in space, but the effect is stationary unless’s cast on a mobile object.
The spell can be cast on a creature, and the effect then radiates from the creature and moves as it
moves. A creature can attempt a Will save to negate the spell, and spell resistance, if any, applies if the
spell is cast on a creature. Divine interdiction interferes with a cleric’s connection to her divine source of
power, resulting in a temporary loss of the ability to turn or rebuke creatures and loss of granted domain
powers. Paladins, blackguards, and other classes capable of rebuking and turning also suffer a
temporary loss of this ability. This affects the subject’s ability to channel energy through the use of a turn
or rebuke attempt, and so also interferes with the use of many divine feats.
Panacea (Spell Compendium)
Conjuration (Healing)
Level: Cleric 4, Druid 5
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless, see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
You knee! next to your afflicted comrade and speak the soft words of this spell. At your touch a
golden radiance infuses your companion.
This spell channels positive energy into a creature to wipe away its afflictions. It immediately ends
any of the following conditions affecting the subject: blinded, confused, dazed, dazzled, deafened,
diseased, exhausted, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, paralyzed, shaken, sickened, and
stunned. It negates sleep effects and the effect of the feeblemind spell, and ends any additional effects
from poison, as the neutralize poison spell. It also cures Id8 points of damage + 1 point per caster level
(maximum +20).
Panacea does not remove ability dam· age, negative levels, or drained levels.
Used against an undead creature, panacea deals damage instead of curing the creature (which takes
half damage if it makes a Will saving throw), but it has no other effect.
Righteous Wrath of the Faithful (Spell Compendium)
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Cleric 5, Purification 7
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 30 ft.
Target: Allies with a 30-ft radius burst centered on you
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
When you cast this spell, you fire your allies and companions with a divine madness or fury, greatly
enhancing their combat ability.
Allies gain one additional melee attack each round, at their highest attack bonus, when making a full
attack. (This additional attack is not cumulative with other effects that grant extra attacks, such as a haste
spell.) They also gain a +3 morale bonus on melee attack rolls and damage rolls. (This bonus on melee
attack rolls does stack with the bonus provided by haste.)
