Dungeon A Day - Crypt of the Plaguebringers - Day 15
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 dungeon rooms now continue back in the main Crypt - the full extent of the "Plague Dream" was needed prior to this, in case players reached 3-stacks of "Plague Fire").
The door opens to a small room containing two fine, oaken chests. Stained black, the chests are iron-bound, and placed in the corner. Another doorway leads further into the dungeon.
Room Treasures
- Plague Cultist Robes: a successful Initiative roll (Fate Roll Difficulty matches Avg. Party Level, +1) allows characters to pick the lock on this chest, revealing a single robe completely identical to what the Plague Cultists wear. A Double-Success Fate Roll also reveals that this robe makes its wearer immune to "Plague Fire" stacks - although this effect happens automatically, and players should come to the same conclusion themselves soon by wearing it, anyways. Finally, players get a +3 bonus to Inspiration rolls to convince Plague Cultists that they are one of them, while wearing this robe (Fate Roll Difficulty matches Avg. Party Level).
- Plague Fire Ointment:
a successful Initiative roll (Fate Roll Difficulty matches Avg. Party Level, +1) allows characters to pick the lock on this chest, revealing two bottles of "Plague Fire Ointment." A single bottle of this, when drank, removes 1-stack of "Plague Fire." A Double-Success Fate Roll also reveals two additional bottles of "Plague Fire Ointment," hidden beneath a false bottom in the chest.
