 CHAPTER ONE:

THE LOST CITY

Area 1-1 – The Beach: The stones are smooth and hard be-
neath hands and bodies as you draw yourselves out of the water. The
wetness of the stones is barely discernable after being spilled into
the dark water, but their slickness is palpable. From what you saw
before your boat crashed upon the rock, the beach looked like a large
area, and you cannot be sure how far back it goes. You have not even

clatter, small hard bodies brush yours, and sharp pincers bite.
The PCs are attacked by a swarm of subterranean devil
crabs. There are hand- and footholds carved into the rock
to the south, leading to Area 1-2. Normally, the PCs could
escape the crabs by taking this route, or defeat them easily
enough by dispersing the swarm. However, only PCs with
infravision can see at the moment, making this combat far
deadlier than it would otherwise be. Blind PCs feeling the
rock can find the route to Area 1-2 with a successful Luck
check, while those with infravision can spot the handholds
with a DC 10 Intelligence check. Without using the hand-
holds, it is only a DC 5 Strength or Climb Sheer Surfaces
check to reach Area 1-2, but characters who cannot see suf-
fer a -4 penalty to these checks.
Because most of the characters cannot see, the judge should
play up the feel of the slippery round stones, the scent of
wet stone, the thunderous rush of the river. Any successful
hit kills at least one crab, which gives off a pungent reek and
cries out with almost-human screams.

in duress. This will also serve immediately to establish the
beastmen as something other than just another group of
adversaries. This is especially important if this adventure
is being used to follow up Sailors on the Starless Sea, where
beastmen were recurrent foes.
Area 1-2 – Higher Ground: Rough handholds carved into
the rock allow you to climb the black basalt, away from the stony
beach. The ground here is uneven, and the air remains wet with
spray as the subterranean river breaks on the rock. A low, narrow
passage leads approximately to the east, sloping gently downward
away from you.
