Tomb of the Alchemist is a short dungeon (and canyon) crawl for Old School Essentials, and Adventurer, Conqueror, King System,  and focuses on the exploration of the tomb of an undead alchemist of a bygone age.  

It features:

  • 14 locations 
  • 18 dense pages of adventure.  
  • Maps for player and referee (annotated).
  • A short atmospheric track befitting the exploration of a tomb.

The adventure is designed for character levels 2-4 and should fill about 1-2 evenings of play. Can you stop Hashur, alchemist of sargon, before he unleashes a terrible plague upon the borderlands?


Intro Blurb: 
After long years lying undisturbed and forgotten, the tomb of Hashur, master alchemist of sargon, has recently been opened when an earthquake ripped apart a rock formation in the Montem Downs. 

When the adventuring party “The Bold Blades” went to investigate, they were wholly unprepared to face an ancient mummy infused with immense power by magical potions and poisons. Murdering the bold blades in a confused rage, Hashur awakens to find the ancient kingdom sacked and its once great cities ruined. Realizing the awakening might not come to pass for him and his wife and followers if local authorities learn of his unearthed crypt, he hatches a plan. Slaving away in his laboratory, he brews a terrible plague of undeath which he plans to unleash on the borderlands. 

In mere weeks, a tide of decay and infection will sweep the borderlands clean of the contemptible servants of Law…
