Madness Returns

T
here are many who believe what was once buried, must stay buried forever. Archaeologists and
others who seek knowledge and fame though, find ancient dig sites to be quite attractive.
Ancient things though are not always where people expect them to be.
Despite the immense amounts of research and the countless hours that scholars have spent trying
to find the lost shrines of Za'strasz, none have been found yet.
The reason why they were never found, is because Za'strasz did not want them found. The old god, who some
thought was banished or the one that most thought never really existed, had actually returned.
Za'strasz aimed to use these shrines as a way to bring his minions into the realm of Latakar. To activate them
though, he would need acolytes that would follow his commands and assist in activating the shrines once again.
Kycis, the priest, had failed him. The herald of the void was defeated and what was going to be a way to infiltrate
the Church of Stars became a lost hope as the weak tiefling failed to carry the void god's bidding.
Laristra Highshard showed great promise. So much that the high elf was the next one that Za'strasz chose as his
trusted acolyte.
Laristra was already succeeding where the weakling Kycis once failed. But her communion with the void was
sensed by those in the area and her dealings with the eldritch dark would not continue for much longer.
However, one does not simply walk into a void ritual...

Background
It was only recently that a void corruption threat was dealt
with in the east of Olbia. It did not take long before more
reports of strange incidents started coming in, only this time,
they were from the west.
More specifically, the reports came from a quarry to the
west of Olbia, on the border between the Valleys to the South
and the Dunes of the West. The reports speak of people
acting weirdly and even going mad. Having read the reports,
the two main investigators of Olbia's city guard have
recognized a pattern that is repeating. They intend to
personally investigate the quarry in order to identify the
threat and hopefully trace it to its source so that they can deal
with it, once and for all.
However strong the city's guard may be, they are still quite
afraid that the Kycis church incident might happen again. For
that reason, they have asked some brave adventurers for their
help, in return for gold. With the help of some brave
adventurers, they are sure that no matter what makes a jump
on them, they will be adequately prepared to deal with it.
Drow In Latakar
The drow race in Latakar came to be after many sunless
nights when some moon elves decided to abandon their faith
in Umi, the Moon goddess, leave the surface and live in
underground caverns. They did so because they believed that
their once beloved goddess was not acting in the kind way
that they thought she would. By abandoning their life on the
surface of Latakar, they wanted to show that they no longer
accept her moonlight and what they saw as a two-faced
benevolence.
After two hundred years, the drow society decided to
emerge again and socialize with the other races after a series
of intense earthquakes that they experienced. The
earthquakes were the result of the Astral Conflict and they
destroyed a lot of what the drow had built underground.
6
The drow did not know what to expect when they came to the
surface, since much had changed. Unlike other races though,
they did not lose that much and the knowledge they had
gathered over the years was still safe and sound in their great
underground libraries.
The drow decided to be kind and benevolent, helping
everyone they could find. They are the ones that helped build
the city of Olbia and would have helped with even more
things if it wasn't for their sensitivity to sunlight. Their
disconnection from the stars' light had caused them to
develop a certain kind of weakness to various light sources.
They no longer felt comfortable in the moonlight as well and
for that reason, they always used artificial or magical light to
illuminate dark spaces. They would rarely illuminate areas
though since their underground livelihood had allowed them
to also develop the ability to see in the dark.
The Drow Twins
Quenthel and Rilniss are twins and were born in Olbia to
drow parents and although they have never been to their
family's city of origin underground, they still have a strong
connection to their drow roots.
Both Quenthel and Rilniss have the same susceptibility to
sunlight like most others of their kind. For that reason, they
tend to travel around with a hat on or their hood covering a
large part of their face.
They grew up in Olbia together seeing all sorts of things
happen and learned of how cruel people can be. As some of
the less popular races in Olbia, the drow always had to hide
who they are. Even though the drow helped build the city,
they are still seen as one of the outsider races and are
therefore treated as such.
Having seen the injustice and crime that exists in Olbia,
the drow twins decided to do something to bring change. As
soon as they were old enough to apply to join the city guard,
they immediately did so. They were accepted and after a few
years of doing normal guard duty, they started standing out of
the rest of the guard due to their inquisitive and investigative
skills. Both of them had actually helped solve quite a few
cases that nobody else had any leads on.
Having been promoted to investigators, they were now sent
on special missions outside of the city too and people
respected them more than ever before. Being drow no longer
held them back in anything they did.
Quenthel Diluan
Quenthel is the smarter of the two drow siblings. A scholar at
heart, he has always been interested in learning more about
history and various incidents of the past. He believes that
studying what happened in the past is a great way of
understanding how someone could think and operate in the
future.
A true investigative mind, Quenthel has studied for years all
the crimes that have taken place in Olbia and outside of
Olbia. He knows a lot of cases by heart and constantly tries to
learn more.
Quenthel loves his sister a lot and cannot imagine doing
any of his work without Invyll by his side.
Unique Phrase: "Hmmm..."
Desire: He wants to clean up Olbia as much as possible.
Fear: He is afraid that the city guard does not have
enough resources to be able to do their job properly.
Misbelief: He believes that all the people of Olbia can rally
under the city's flag, no matter what their origins may be.

Invyll Diluan
Invyll is the more agile of the twins. While Quenthel was busy
studying and losing himself in books, Invyll would spend her
time learning the city and all the possible routes she could
follow in order to apprehend criminals. She trained the bow
every day and in just a few years she had become one of the
most trusted rangers of the city.
Invyll spends a lot of time with Quenthel and is an excellent
tracker. Quenthel would not have solved even half of the
cases he has solved if it wasn't for Invyll and her spectacular
tracking skills.
Unique Phrase: "Quenthel might know."
Desire: She wants her brother to be happy.
Fear: She fears that her brother will get caught up in a
really bad case and some vile criminal might personally
target him.
Misbelief: She does not believe that the city guard has
enough resources to deal with the amount of crime that
Olbia has.

Jozmug Leadheart
Jozmug is a kind dwarf who has served with the city guard for
many years. He has actually been with the city guard for
many more years than the drow siblings have but he has
grown very fond of them due to the great work that he sees
them do.
Jozmug has been assigned as one of the guards that help
the Diluan siblings with their cases.

Adventure Hooks
The adventure can start through any of the following
adventure hooks:
Reward. The adventurers are asked by a local lord or
foreman to investigate the quarry and make sure that all
Quenthel will mention that they should probably be careful
while moving around as they do not know what unseen
dangers could be lurking. He will ask the adventurers to
assist him as he climbs down the wall to get a bit closer to
some of the workers.

work continues as normal. If they deal with whatever is
causing problems there, they will be rewarded.
Curiosity. The adventurers happen to travel close to a
quarry where they will suddenly see some people running
away from it while screaming. They will decide to
investigate the situation closely.
Good Will. The adventurers have an acquaintance that
knows either of the two drow siblings. The acquaintance
asks the adventurers to go aid the drow siblings with their
🢂 ''Encounter!'' Should anyone try to talk to any of the
workers, they will all turn around and attack. The moment
they turn to attack, their skin will turn purple and start
glowing. This is a clear sign of the corruption having taken

squad will assist in combat.

drow investigator twins Quenthel Diluan and Invyll Diluan.
They are both overlooking the quarry as a bunch of workers
are acting all weird below.
Assisting Quenthel and Invyll are x2 Drow Warriors and
Jozmug Leadheart.
Read the following when the adventurers arrive at the
quarry:
As you approach the quarry, you see close by a group of
people resting below a tree's shade. One of them notices you
and starts approaching. As he comes closer, you see he has
dark purplish skin and is wearing a hat that covers most of
his head.

"You must be the ones that dealt with Kycis. Good, good. I
am glad to know that you have accepted our invitation in
assisting with our investigation here at the quarry. Strange
things have been reported and I will not rest until the source
of this madness is found and dealt with. The last thing we
want is for this corruption to reach the city of Olbia."

As soon as Quenthel has introduced himself to the players, he

will also introduce the rest of his team. Once introductions
are over, move to Act 1: Madness?
Act 1: Madness?
The investigators will ask the adventurers to follow them as
they move closer to the quarry. Read the following:
You move closer to the main area and at some point, you
reach a position that oversees the lower levels of the quarry.
From there, you immediately notice at least a dozen workers
moving aimlessly all around as if they are in some kind of
zombified state.

⦿ ''Sense Void.'' Any character with this ability will

immediately be able to sense the presence of void corruption
nearby. 8
Act 2: The Source
Once the players enter the cave, read the following:
You navigate through the narrow path of the cavern with
Invyll leading the way. She is moving slowly and carefully in
an effort to be ready for anything unexpected that might
come her way.
The corrupted minions will be trying their best to actually
keep the party surrounded at all times, overwhelming them
and pushing them around.
Ways to make things more difficult

much harder phase starts.

You take a few more steps forward and you suddenly find
yourselves in a room with a narrow corridor leading up to an
elevated platform and then another one further ahead with a
throne. To the sides are elegantly carved pillars that have
water flowing off them into a pool below. There are braziers
lighting the entire way forward and before you are able to
understand where exactly you are, you hear a voice say,
"welcome to the altar of Za'strasz! It took you a while to
Another way to make things a bit more difficult is by having
the minions push the adventurers or any of the companions
to their deaths by dropping them off the platform.
Considering there will be so many minions, you can justify
the shoves being a bit harder to deal with from the players'
perspective.

notice me, but you are finally here!" As soon as that happens, make sure you move to Act 3:
Madness! and also change the map.
The person saying this is Laristra Highshard who is at 2. on
the map. You can have Quenthel engage in a discussion with
her, but all Laristra will say is "I will succeed where Kycis has
failed!"

🢂 ''Encounter!'' Combat will immediately start and Laristra

will hit the ground with her staff, creating a barrier around
the throne platform. The barrier is transparent purple in
color and is impenetrable by any spell or item. The only way
to bring down the barrier and get to Laristra is by defeating Get a full-sized version of this map (plus gridless

As soon as combat starts, x6 Corrupted Minions will climb
from the sides of the platform at 1. on the map. Once those
are dealt with and the players move forward and at least one
of them stands at the middle of the big platform, x5
Corrupted Minions will climb from each side of the platform
3. on the map.
Laristra will be casting only cantrips and level 1 spells
while all of this is happening. She will save her harder-hitting
abilities for later.

Once those minions are dealt with as well, Laristra will

become restless and will start summoning the void. Read the
following:
"Enough! You dare trespass in one of the ancient shrines of
Za'strasz, interrupting my ritual and slaying his children?! You
shall be judged the way all non-believers are to be judged!"

You suddenly feel the ground below your feet shaking and
the waters around you are flowing in reverse as if time is
moving backward. A loud noise is heard echoing all
throughout the cavern and the corridor from where you came
is starting to fall apart as the stone cracks and breaks, falling
below into the water. The now-empty southern part of the
room has a whirlpool of water and debris that is swirling ever
faster and slowly changing color into a dark purple.

Soon enough, you find yourselves surrounded by purple

waters. The whirlpool of water has now been replaced by a
huge vortex of space-like essence that pulses slowly, creating
a very strange and somewhat threatening aura.

"Bear witness... as the children of Za'strasz, ARISE!"

advised that you have one of the drow warriors and Jozmug
become completely corrupted and turn against the

players and make things much more dangerous for them.
Epilogue
Once Laristra is defeated (she will not surrender, no matter
what), Quenthel will investigate her body (2. on the map). He
will find a medallion with a purple gem in the middle of it.
The purple gem is actually a void stone and Laristra was
using it so that she can focus on keeping her Void Barrier up
while casting other spells.
Quenthel and Invyll will take a moment to catch their
breath. Invyll will rest for a moment and then stand back up
to continue looking for tracks. The room will go back to its
normal state and the water level will be quite low, allowing
people to walk through it. Read the following:
"We lost a good friend to this foul corruption... but we must
not take too long before continuing our search. We must find Get a full-sized version of this map (plus gridless

void to this degree, I fear the reach of her corruption might
be far greater than we initially thought. Invyll. Guide us,
please. We need to keep going."

You could have Invyll guide the players out into the open
again before she explains that she cannot track down any
other signs of the void energies, meaning the investigators
will have to go back to the city to prepare and do more
research.
The third and final part of the trilogy will come with the
next adventure Let Void Conquer where the adventurers will
be called to join Quenthel and Invyll once again.

The players may loot Laristra's body to find 150 gold pieces
and can also convince Quenthel to take the medallion.
Quenthel can be convinced with a DC 14 Persuasion roll. If
he is successfully convinced, he will explain that he would
like to study the amulet at some point as it could be an
important clue to finding the source of the corruption.
