House Medani has doomed itself with its own arrogance. You pathetic fools could not hope to catch me, there is no one in Sharn with the wit to match the greatest inquisitive in history. Tonight, as Wildnight ends, the chimes at midnight will sound the death toll of the scion of House Medani. Victor Saint-Demain, Master Inquisitive of Sharn

ILL MADE GRAVES by Kevin Carter The mighty dragon Oroshar lies dead, as does the barbarian king who slew him. Yet the dragon’s spirit does not rest quietly. His wrath lingers in one of the teeth lodged in the dead king’s corpse, awaiting only the caress of the funeral pyre to awaken him into something for worse than a dragon of ﬂesh and bone. A D&D adventure for 7th-level characters.
