Dungeon A Day - Crypt of the Plaguebringers - Day 14
For months, heroes from across the land have gone missing, slave ships have ransacked coastal villages, and even members of the fabled dragon knights have been slain. Now, you find, that all is related.
It took weeks to subdue a single "plague cultist," and he didn't give up without a fight. Though he wouldn't talk, you found clues in his traveling bag that led you here, to depths beneath a forgotten city of Eboncrest.
Unfortunately, it seems the Crypt of the Plaguebringers is already nearing its goal, however, and the cultists' powerful spell is about to be unleashed upon the lands of Altius, if no one can stop them.

Room Description (Read the Following Text to Your Players)
(The "Plague Dream" is a more fluid space than the dungeon proper. In this zone, players are - most likely, and effectively - trying to figure out how to return to the main dungeon. Each "zone" of the Plague Dream is characterized by one or more unique elements. Wherever players go in the Plague Dream, refer to these specific elements to tell them what happens).
A purple coffin lies beneath a tree, with the words, "Beloved Itoch" intricately etched into its side. The coffin is the size of a small child's, and the top is partially opened.
Room Challenges
- The Coffin: the coffin is empty. A successful Intelligence roll (Fate Roll Difficulty matches Avg. Party Level, +3) reveals the story of Itoch (shown below), which characters "learn about" from memory of stories they'd heard before. This coffin is for lore purposes only, for broader campaigns, and has no immediate bearing upon this dungeon.
"There was once a boy of ten, blonde and human, named Itoch. His parents were devout followers of Vyros and were personally converted by the Pyromancer Thangoruin Vy Ainamarth.
Because Thangoruin was chosen of Vyros to complete his purposes on Altius, Thangoruin had the power to delegate other leaders to spread the beloved word of death. To Itoch’s parents was given the task of traveling from Calciphern to Leonic, preaching the ideals of Vyros, given to bless all mortals of Altius.
The news of the Eternal was not well-received in Leonic. After a year, witch hunters burned the temple to Vyros and killed the family of three."
