[Dungeon] A Single Tomb, Unplundered... (Egyptian-style tomb for levels 4-6)

There are many Egyptian-style tomb dungeons like this, but this one is mine... 17 rooms, one level, I think it turned out quite good. 8 pages for the main text, so you can print it as a booklet (but print the cover on a separate sheet).

I wrote the bulk of this back in 2023, but somehow never got around to share it. I used OSRIC for the stocking. And I wanted to do something NOT for levels 1-3.

  1. Hell yeah. This is awesome. I like the crocodile and his little idol, and the trap door between the portcullises.

    Are your players able to find room 16? I feel like mine never would be able to.

    1. Thanks!

      Yeah, it's a valid concern.

      This one hasn't been playtested yet, so I cannot provide actual play experience. However, I feel that it is possible to find it. 1. There are NPCs who can reveal clues - if not about the exact entrance, but about the existence of a secret vault. 2. The PCs themselves might suspect that there must be a "real" tomb after investigating the dummy in #12. 3. The pipe in #12 is also a clue - where could it lead?

  2. Also how do players interact with the statue in 6c if it's currently incorporeal?

    1. They might bring the source of the purple mist over from room #4, if they realize how it works. Granted, this is one of the more obscure treasures in the adventure. As an additional clue, perhaps I should amend it to only the statues being incorporeal, while there bases material, so there is a clue about the possible presence of a statue.

      Thanks for checking this out :)
