MONUMENT TO UAMAT
DRACONlC DEVILS ROOST lN A GIANT SKULL, THROUGHwhich the dragon queen speaks withfwe tongues.
-The Cartographer
When the characters arrive at this location, read or
paraphrase the following boxed text to the players:
A colossal dragon's skull leans against a mountainside,
surrounded by bones the size of houses. Acrid smoke
rises from the skull's maw. A military tent has been
pitched among the bones, and parked next to it is a two-
wheeled infernal war machine.
Gathered around this tent are a dozen chattering,
reptilian humanoids with gleaming swords, white scales,
and white, leathery wings.A tunnel at the back of the skull leads to Tiamat's lair.
The devils nesting within the skull, the abishai, are be-
lieved to carry out her bidding- or perhaps guard over
her prison on orders of Asmodeus.
From the depths of her lair, Tiamat can
hear the prayers and pronouncements of
faithful servants who call out to her from
the maw of the colossal dragon skull. If
the dragon queen chooses to reply, her
five hissing voices issue from the dark-
ness, amplified by the skull as
they give commands and finish
each other's sentences.
It would be madness to
assault this location without
