Thema: [Eberron] Super Adventure angekündigt?

[Pestbeule]

Folgendes habe ich heute morgen entdeckt:

http://www.revolution-games.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1492

Bei DW wird das Produkt auch als angekündigt gelistet. Da die WotC Seite zur Zeit bei mir nicht geht (bin ich da der einzige???), wollte ich mal fragen ob schon genaueres bekannt ist?

Heroes searching for a mysterious artifact called the Dragon's Eye fall victim to an ancient curse tied to the Draconic Prophecy. They must unravel the truth about the curse while fending off agents of Lady Vol and the dragons of Argonnessen, who want to destroy them and claim the Dragon's Eye for themselves.

Curse of the Dragon's Eye is an Eberron super-adventure for 5th-level characters and is designed to take them to 10th level. The adventure uses a new combat encounter format designed to make the Dungeon Master's job easier and to speed up play.

Und wo wir gerade bei Eberron sind, hat schon jemand das Faiths of Eberron? Wie ist es? ^^

[Matrix]

Amazon listet Eyes of the Lich Queen für den 17. April. Da bin ich ja mal gespannt. Viel ist bisher ja nicht bekannt.

[Pestbeule]

Ich blicke mit Schrecken auf das neue Abenteuerformat und meine Vorfreude ist gleich nicht mehr so hoch. Aber erst mal abwarten.

[Sensemann]

Deine Lesefreude sollte sich bei dem Abenteuer eh besser in Grenzen halten.

[Pestbeule]

Ich glaube dann werde ich wohl nicht bei der Online Runde mitspielen können! Meine Real-Truppe geht nunmal einfach vor. Und da hab ich gewisse Verpflichtungen als SL. Etwa Abenteuer leiten.  

Da ich bei Eberron fast alle geschriebenen Abenteuer gespielt habe, ist das die einzige Quelle die mir noch bleibt! (Außer Voyage of the Golden Dragon)

[Sensemann]

Das habe ich schon befürchtet damit.

Schade, aber kann man nicht ändern.

Wir hören uns

Excerpts Online! Wow. Die Zusammenfassung ist der Hammer!

Spoiler (Anzeigen)

Part 1: The Temple of Kha'shazul

The adventure opens in the jungles of Q'barra. Hired by Sur'kil, the PCs make their way to an ancient draconic temple and the promise of a treasure hoard waiting to be discovered there. A pair of very young black dragons inhabits the temple, claiming offerings from the lizardfolk tribes of the region in the name of the fiendish dragon Rhashaak. A small force of blackscale lizardfolk and a tribe of poison dusk lizardfolk assist the dragons.

Characters must work their way past the lizardfolk inhabitants of the temple and eventually discover the dragons' lair. However, the true treasure lies farther below the temple. A secret passage leads to a gauntlet of perilous, trap-filled rooms, and finally to a rune-inscribed chamber housing a pair of ancient draconic relics. The PCs must overcome the traps and the final chamber's mummified half-dragon guardian to claim the relics and return them to Sur'kil.

However, as the PCs return to Adderport, they are set upon by a force of Emerald Claw soldiers demanding the surrender of something called the Dragon's Eye -- a name the PCs have never heard before. In the aftermath, the characters discover that they have manifested strange, unfamiliar dragonmarks, or that their existing dragonmarks have changed in subtle ways.

When the PCs report to Sur'kil, their new or changed dragonmarks put him in mind of tales of an ancient Sarlonan explorer named Jheamast whose party underwent a similar transformation. His further research indicates that Jheamast was looking for a weapon to use against a powerful enemy, leading the PCs to suspect that he must have obtained the Dragon's Eye centuries before. Dark lore hints that Jheamast's compatriots were killed by the powers of their mysterious dragonmarks. At Sur'kil's request -- and in the interest of their own survival -- the characters must track down Jheamast's final resting place.

Part 2: Finding the Path

In the course of uncovering the location of Jheamast's tomb, a series of quests sends the characters on a tour of the Lhazaar Principalities. Their first stop is a library holding the journal of Eliam ir'Veldras, an explorer who located but could not enter the tomb. However, they find the library under attack by agents of Vol, who has organized her own force to track down the Dragon's Eye.

While reading the journal, the PCs discover that essential pages were torn from it by one of Eliam's companions, a gnome artificer named Thraxis. However, though the missing pages were reportedly copied by tattoo onto Thraxis's own flesh, the artificer was recently taken in a pirate raid and sold to a secret dragonshard mining operation beneath the impenetrable prison of Dreadhold. The PCs must sneak in, find the tattooed thief, and escape from the prison.

Finally, the party must obtain a map of the mysterious island of Trebaz Sinara -- a map that hangs aboard Prince Ryger ir'Wynarn's flagship, Dragoneye. Characters must either win the favor of the Lhazaarite high prince or sneak aboard his ship to steal the map.

Meanwhile, Vol redoubles her efforts to find the Dragon's Eye, and the PCs must contend with her minions as they carry out their search.

Part 3: The Haunted Isle

Once the PCs have discovered the location of Jheamast's tomb and the means to open it, they set off for the dangerous island of Trebaz Sinara. After overcoming some of the fearsome monsters that stalk the haunted isle, the party finds the lost explorer's resting place.

Jheamast's tomb is guarded by undead creatures, constructs, and traps, all of which the party must overcome before finally finding the explorer's sarcophagus. However, a tsucora quori spirit, once trapped within Jheamast's living mind, remains tied to the Sarlonan's body in death. The quori has kept Jheamast's own soul from moving on, even as the creature has been driven to murderous madness by centuries of imprisonment. The PCs must defeat the quori, which can manifest within the tomb.

Part 4: The Orrery of Vortuum

The last stage of the adventure follows the characters to Argonnessen. Sur'kil has been kidnapped by Khurystas, Vol's draconic ally, and the PCs seek to rescue their employer even as they overcome the curse of the Dragon's Eye. The blue dragon has ensconced himself within the Orrery of Vortuum overlooking the great Fang Crater. There, he has stirred up the Bringers of Fire, a barbarian tribe that worships an evil red dragon, to protect the observatory from attack. After aiding the White Wanderers (another barbarian tribe of the region), the PCs use a diversion created by an assault on the Bringers of Fire to make their way to the observatory. As battle rages around the crater, the characters enter the orrery and fight their way past Khurystas's servants.

The final confrontation pits the party against the blue dragon, with the characters aided by the latent power of the Dragon's Eye. However, the Dragon's Eye is unpredictable. Against the prophetic backdrop of a lunar conjunction, the artifact destroys itself as its power is redirected into the form of a deadly dragonspawn.

EDIT: Abenteuer ist übrigens erhältlich!^^

[Pestbeule]

Abenteuer gestern bekommen und kaum noch aus der Hand gelegt. Es ist fesselnd! Cineastisch. BOMBASTISCH. Das Finale verspricht genial  zu werden. Allein die Location...

EInziger Kritikpunkt: Das neue Encounter Format. Man kann es lieben oder hassen. Es ist wirklich praktisch muss ich eingestehen. Aber ist es wirklich nötig 2 Nsc auf 4 Hintereinanderfolgenden Encountern jedes mal nochmal zu beschreiben? Natürlich mit vollem Statblock... :roll:

Ansonsten: Eberron-SL´s KAUFEN! Imho das best bisher erschienene Eberron Abenteuer! Wer was wissen will soll fragen.

EDIT: Preis liegt bei 17 Euro. Sehr günstig für 125 Seiten Vollfarbiger Unterhaltung...

Ist das Abenteuer auch außerhalb von Eberron anwendbar z.B. in den FR?

Gibt es womöglich gar Konvertierungstips?

Gruß Zechi

Nein es gibt keine Konvertierungstipps. Eine Anwendbarkeit außerhalb Eberrons ist nur schwer möglich, da viele Kampagnenspezifische Sachen vorkommen. Es ist grundsätzlich möglich, aber wird wohl einen größeren Aufwand bedeuten.

z.B. spielen Drachenmale und die Drachenprophezeiung eine wichtige Rolle in dem Abenteuer. Das kulminiert im Finale sogar zu einem besonderen Ereignis an welchem die Spieler teilhaben.
Leicht zu konvertieren: Vor allem die Gegenspieler der SC lassen sich aber auch durch z.b Drachenkult oder ähnliches ersetzen.
