Tomb of Horrors Before there was much of anything else in the world of the D&D game, there was the Tomb of Horrors. The first version of the adventure was crafted for Gary Gygax’s personal campaign

If you’re considering taking a scaled one along on an adventure, remember this important fact. The strange, inhuman glint in its eyes as it looks you over is the same look you might give a
pity. Born into the world lacking stout scales and sharp teeth, it’s a wonder they have managed to survive for so long. The typical human would barely make it through a day in the swamps.

Introduction AN ADVENTURE SUPPORTING EXTRA LIFE
A fallen clock tower holds components from an ancient artifact. Upon discovery of the components, competing agents look to launch expeditions to
uncover additional components scattered across distant places — and times. The now-lost Temple of Moloch and the construction site of the legendary Tomb of Horrors are two of those locations. However

Locations Depending on which agent they ally themselves with, the characters will initially travel to either the Tomb of Horrors or the Temple of Moloch. If you want to focus on only one location in
the adventure, that’s fine. But plot hooks and NPC interactions at each location give you lots of opportunity to inspire or compel the characters to travel to the second location, either after or in conjunction with exploring the first location.
