The Tower of Bondage ๐๐š๐ซ๐ญ ๐Ÿ โ€œFane of the Jailersโ€ takes you deeper into Aumvor the Undyingโ€™s dungeon of terror. As your players draw closer to the tower below, they will meet new horrors that include: โ— 15 encounters with dark denizens including undead โ— New Monster, โ€œWalking Oozeโ€ โ— Margoyles of the AD&D era converted for 5th Edition. This adventure is part two of a six-part series that comprises six levels of dungeon and culminates in the PCโ€™s escape from an underground prison of torture and madness, and if they choose, the destruction of the Lich known as Aumvor the Undying. In early 1320 DR Aumvor the Undying collected the greatest of all of the relics and lore of the Netherese Empire and secreted it away in his domain in Endless Caverns. There he awaited the return of the City of Shade. He did not have to wait long for it was but thirty eight years when it appeared. The undying one saw this as his long awaited opportunity to return and bring the Netherse Empire to its full glory. As quickly as it rose, it also fell, for even Aumvor could not foretell the advent of the second sundering. This change in the weave left him weakened and the nations placed under his yoke, rebelled. By 1487 DR the City of Shade fell and the end of Netheril was not far behind. From the ashes of an empire two times fallen, Aumvor the Undying plots again to restore Netheril. His ancient portal traps still in operation, he feeds on the living and grows strong again. Who can stop him? ๐…๐จ๐ซ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐จ๐ง ๐€๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐”๐ง๐๐ฒ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐„๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐๐ž๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ฅ, ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ ๐‚๐ก๐š๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐•๐š๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐’๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐‚๐จ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ ๐€๐๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž๐ซโ€™๐ฌ ๐†๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ž.

"The Riverfront Rat Gang" is a ratfolk lair, also featuring wharflings and a doppelrat, designed for five 1st level characters. This adventure can be completed in one session. The old dockyards once served as the primary center of commerce in town. Years ago, political pressure from an influential merchant who wanted the docks to be loser to her business forced shipping concerns to move their docks upriver. The new facility accommodates larger ships, and the old docks fell into disuse. Talk of converting the property into a set of riverside shops died when a rat infestation proved to be an unsolvable problem. Thus, the old dockyards have been decaying for years. This situation suited a former thieves' guild member, a ratfolk rogue, named Matimer Creel. A botched robbery (for which Matimer blamed his accomplice) turned the guild against Matimer, who fled from certain death at the hands of the guild master. He hid out in the old dockyards, confident that not even guild members bothered to go there. From there he began to exact revenge against the guild by ruining its plans or stealing directly from it. He also befriended the rat population, thanks to a golden rat's tooth he acquired, and the vermin help with his schemes. A trio of rat-like wharflings and a doppelrat, washed up on the riverbank near the docks, have joined Matimer's retinue.
