The Desert of Desolation (1e D&D converted to 5e 2024 D&D)

About the adventure

Deep blue mists of the night swirl over the sands of Raurin, the incomparable Desert of Dust. As the cool night air drains the heat from the sand, you & your friends huddle around your campfire, glancing nervously at the giant pyramid in the distance. Gradually, the winds change direction, bearing a thin streak of white mist toward you from the pyramid. It swirls & takes shape as a faceless man dressed in ancient robes & an ornate head-piece; moonlight shining through his ghostly body & robes, he lifts his arms toward the pyramid & speaks. It was magic that conveyed you all to Bralizar, & an ancient map that guided you through the pass in The Dustwall. But it was, after all, the tales that finally brought you to this place - tales of endless wealth, of spirit-guarded pyramids, of crystalline obelisks, of gemstones with mysterious properties. Now, as the haunted voice of the spectre before you begins his tale, you wonder if the treasure & the quest are worth the price...perhaps your very lives. Are you really the heroes of the prophecies, those who will overcome the foretold tests, & those for whom the treasure awaits? It is time to search your hearts before you venture further into the Desert of Desolation. Desert of Desolation is a series of three adventures (Pharaoh, Oasis of the White Palm, and Lost Tomb of Martek) Originally published in 1e, this version is updated to play with the 2024 5e ruleset. The text and story will remain as it was when these adventures were first published.
