MAP 8 .4: L11NOGR 1w11's fo~~v


from the Endless Nadir are arguing over what is to be
done with the kraken. One wants to enslave it, and the
other argues it must be destroyed. Neither of them un-
derstands the juvenile kraken's intentions or suspects
that a party of determined adventurers is about to inter-
rupt their plans.


LANDGRAVE'S FOLLY
The temple at Landgrave's Folly, shown in map 8.4, is
in ruins and under 40 feet or more of water, though its
weed-encrusted spire extends above the ocean surface
even at high tide. The character s can't proceed into the
temple without some means of breathing underwater,
such as caps of water breathing or the potions found
in area T6. Potions of water breathing are also readily
available from alchemists in the Styes, being one of the
district's more popular exports. Before running this
final part of the adventure, make sure you're familiar
w ith the rules on underwater combat (in chapter^9 of the
Player's Handbook) and underwater movement (in chap-
ter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide).
The characters have three means of entry into Land-
grave's Folly: descending the spire that projects above
the waves, going through the front doorway, or moving
through a hole in the north wall. All areas of the temple
are lightly obscured by dim light and sill in the water.

As the characters approach the sunken temple,
read the following, making adjustments depending on
whether they are coming from above or below the water:

Below the water looms the dark bulk of a sunken temple.
Looming up and out of the briny murk is the temple's
spire, which appears to have been struck by more than
one unfortunate s hip, judging by the chunks missing
from it. The temple lists toward the north, its roof and
walls draped with seaweed and festooned with barnacles.
The building's facade is a mess of partially collapsed
walls and ruined scaffolding, making it appear as though
the site was still under construction when it sank. But it's
hard to tell which parts weren't finished and which parts
were damaged by the collapse.

Ll. RUINED SPIRE






Most of the roof is gone from the belfry beneath the
upthrust spire. but portions of the walls and their arched
windows remain. A seaweed-tangled staircase descends
deeper into the flooded tower.
