About the adventure
"Atop an island in the middle of the river is a crumbling basalt temple. Locals are terrified of the spirits that haunt it — the tortured souls of explorers who first encountered this place. A dire snapping turtle awaits hungrily over their remains." This Shadowdark one-shot is part of the cursed scroll preview material from the Western Reaches setting. Uncover the secrets of an ancient temple, find precious loot, and leave with your life if you are lucky. Run with the fast paced mechanics of the award winning Shadowdark RPG.
