The Rising Dark


Alrighty, here's the Irilian Adventure: The Rising Dark

 Beware: it says for 6-8 players of levels 3-6 but it's tough. IMO, for any party to hope to successfully complete this adventure they will need to be very sharp, lucky and in all likelihood, have a full complement of hirelings. Despite the rather linear nature of the scenario, there could also be room for lots of exploration, and possible side-quests while in Irilian itself - and making use of the opportunities for training and level advancement along the way. The climactic final act could also serve quite well if played out as a miniature skirmish wargame - the waves of humanoid Dark Children toward the end could quite easily lead to a total party kill - and as you'll discover, at least 1 PC will not be coming back if there is to be any hope of success.

Enjoy!

Thank you so much for bringing Irilian back! I was *just* thinking about using it to enhance Waterdeep and BAM here it is! Very grateful.

I realise this is ancient history, but in case anyone is still listening, does anyone know the current license holder or contact for the Irillian scenario ? I ran it way-back and the party decided to go shopping rather than deliver the urgent message, so.. Bad dudes won. But, subsequently because this was a wealth of info I adapted a spin-off where years later a party could play in Uruklan the dark city and try and undo the mistakes of the first party. It would be cool to get it published somewhere like DriveThruRPG, but I would need a sign off from the current copyright holder.
