RUNNING THE ADVENTURE
To run the adventure, you need the three Fifth
Edition core rulebooks. You can access a free basic
ruleset from the official source if you don’t have a
copy.

Text that appears in a box like this is meant to

be read aloud or paraphrased for the players
when their characters arrive at a location or
under specific circumstances, as described in
the text.

When a creature’s name appears in bold type,

that’s a visual cue pointing you to its stat block to
say, “Hey, game master, make sure you get this
creature’s stat block ready—there’s going to be an
encounter!” If the stat block appears in the appendix
of this adventure, the text tells you so; otherwise,
you can find the stat block in the core rulebook.
Spells and non-magical equipment mentioned in
the adventure are described in the core manual for
players. Magic items are described in the core man-
ual for game masters unless the adventure’s text
directs you to an item’s description in the appendix.
Adventure Hooks
The table in the full version offers some ideas if you
don’t have a reason for the characters to investigate
the Lamia Temple. If you need to motivate the party
with a monetary reward, their patrons offer 500 gp
per level of the adventure.

BACKGROUND
To the locals, the Temple of Healing is a myth, a
cautionary tale they tell their children. The leg-
end says that the temple appeared one day on the
edge of the desert. At first, the locals thought it
was a mirage, as it was the miracle for which they
had prayed: their city was in the grips of a horrific
plague that had already decimated their population.

 Magical Servitude. Unless otherwise noted, the
creatures within the temple are magically charmed
using the lamia’s geas spell. This spell forces them
into servitude and denies them the freedom to speak
about what has happened to them or anything about
the temple, including seeing the temple as an illusion.
Such a creature can be persuaded or intimidated
into answering questions with a successful DC 13
Charisma check, using a relevant skill if applicable.
If a creature is influenced into divulging information,
it immediately takes 27 (5d10) psychic damage,
enough to kill many of these creatures instantly.
Permanent Illusion. A permanent illusion covers
