The Manticore's Den

From publisher blurb: The Manticore’s Den is a Fifth Edition adventure for four to five characters of 1st to 4th level, and is optimized for a party of four characters with an average party level (APL) of 2. This adventure is designed for the Amazons vs Valkyries setting, but can be easily adapted to any other fantasy setting. This module includes several simple hooks to get any group of wandering adventures involved in the action right away. A manticore has started attacking travelers and farmsteads in the local area. The PCs easily locate the lair, but infiltrating it is more difficult. The dungeon features: ·Traps. Rather than traditional traps, some rooms pose trap-like risks, due to the inherent dangers of spelunking. ·Monsters. These caverns are home to giant rats, giant fire beetles, a giant spider, and of course, a manticore. ·Skill Challenges. Perception, Athletics, and Acrobatics skills will be most useful in completing this adventure successfully. ·Disease. Two opportunities for PCs to contract debilitating illnesses lurk in these caverns. These diseases (histoplasmosis and infected wounds) are covered in detail in the file’s appendix.
