Temple
1. “You can see the entrance to the temple,
two solid wooden doors that are closed. On
either side of the doors stands a 10’ tall
creature. They wear crudely forged armor and
carry huge wooden clubs with metal spikes
driven through the head to form a fearsome
weapon. They appear to be alert.”
There are two crested gutter trolls guarding the
entrance to the temple. They take their mission
seriously and will not be easily distracted. Each
troll has a horn on their belt. If attacked one
will sound the horn while the other attacks.
They have already worked out who will attack
and will sound the alarm based on the way they
are attacked. As stated these trolls are not
stupid.

When first encountered, these creatures seem to
be nothing more than a common body of water in a
well, fountain, or similar basin. The use of a detect
invisible spell, however, reveals to the caster that
something is amiss, although the specific nature of
the threat is not obvious.
Once the water weird senses a living creature, it
begins to change the water into a serpentine form.
This transformation takes two rounds to occur. Once
in this shape, it lashes out and strikes as a 6-Hit Die
monster. Anyone who is hit by the weird must roll a
saving throw vs. paralyzation. Failure indicates that
the victim has been pulled into the water and faces
the prospect of drowning. Each round that the victim
spends inside the water requires an additional saving
throw. with failure indicating death by drowning.
Many forms of attack cause little or no harm to the
water weird because of its fluid body. Sharp
weapons, such as swords and axes, inflict only 1
point of damage each time they strike, although
blunt weapons, like hammers and maces, inflict their
normal damage. Cold-based attacks affect a water
weird as a slow spell. Fireball spells cause half
damage if the weird fails its saving throw, no
damage if it succeeds.
A water weird that is reduced to 0 hit points by any
of these attacks is not slain, but is disrupted. After
two rounds, it re-forms its serpentine body and
resumes its attack. Most other types of attack
cannot harm the creature in any way.
A purify water spell instantly slays a water weird.
By breaking down its life essence, this invocation
annihilates the creature. Each casting of this spell is
effective against only a single entity, however, so that
an attack by three water weirds must be met with
three purify water spells to wholly eliminate the
menace.

In the northeast corner of the room is a secret door
that leads to a spiral staircase going down. The
staircase leads to a long hallway that is part of the
ossuary.
6. “You have entered what was the chamber of the
temples high priest. There are desks and chairs as
well as a large wardrobe here. An expensive, but
faded rug is on the floor near the door in the
northeast corner of the room. There are doors in
the south wall and the north wall.”
There is a 25% chance that Buhrdur is in this room,
see stats at the end of the module, There are also
two guards outside the door that enters this room
from the outside. They are identical to the guards at
the front door of the temple in all ways except
weapons. These are two fo Buhrdur elite guards.
They are armed with Great Swords and have max hp.

7. “The room you have entered is a alarge one,
devoid of any features except six columns that
follow the east and north walls. In the northwest
corner stands a statue of a huge hideous troll.”
This is a private worship area and the statue is that
of Kolrak Mar. If anyone speaks his name in this
room roll on the divine intervention tables to see if
he takes notice of what is going on. He will not
immediately interfere as he knows Buhrdur is
attempting summoning his avatar. He will; however,
grant Buhrdur a vision of the party if he takes notice
of them, to include magic items.
8. “This is the private chamber of the high priest of
this temple A desk with three chairs, two in front of
the desk, is along the west wall. A large bookshelf
 Temple of Kolrak Mar
and another desk are along the north wall and a
second bookshelf is along the east wall.”
There is a secret door that leads to the private
library of the former high priest. This is where they
would have kept private texts dedicated to their god
and other items important to them. Buhrdur
discovered this room and emptied it of anything
from the previous owners; this is where he keeps the
treasures of his tribe.

9. “After following this long hallway you have come
to a 30’ by 30’ room. Crates and barrels are stacked
here; strange odors come from the crates.”
This was an out of the way storage area for the
herbs used in funeral rights. Most have rotted away
and that is the smell coming from the crates.
10. “The hallway ends here at a wall, there is no
other passage other than the way you came from.”
This contains a secret door that leads into an empty
crypt of the ossuary.
11. “This is the main burial chamber of the ossuary
sarcophagi fill small crypts all around you. There are
several trolls here busily emptying these tombs of
anything of value.”
If the party came down the stairs from 3 then the
trolls will be waiting for them and ready. If they
came from the secret door from area 9, they have a
chance to surprise at least some of the trolls.
In total there are 21 trolls in this area searching the
tombs for items to give to Buhrdur (or secretly keep
for themselves). There had been some undead here
but most have been destroyed by the trolls. There
are 23 sarcophagi in all and they contain the
following:

Jade Burial Armour (50,000gp or more, 50 lb., AC 7)
As jade and gold do not decay, the armor can survive for

bottom of the hole in the cavern is reached. The
whole continues but its actual depth cannot be

Anyone that leaps off into the hole, they are dead

it will keep going at least 300 feet.

Also, anyone attempting to pawn the signet ring will

come to the attention of the authorities and will be
sought for tomb robbing. If the ring is kept and
worn then the wearer might find themselves in hot

impersonating nobility.

22. “This is a small temple. Two bronze braziers lit

with fire are adjacent to stairs leading down. An altar
is on the west wall with wooden benches arraigned
neatly in front of the altar. Standing next each
brazier are two of 10’ tall beings in chainmail
wielding two-handed swords.”
These are two of the elite crested gutter troll guards.

23. “This is a large room with three alcoves along the
east and west walls. In each alcove are two stone
coffins. However, your eyes are drawn to the huge
metal statue of a troll that stands in the exact center
of the room. The firelight of torches on the wall are
reflected off the statue. You hear strange chanting
coming through a door in the north wall”
This is not a statue it is Buhrdur’s most valuable ally.
It is an Iron Troll and it is tasked with keeping
intruders out of area 24. An iron troll is made from
metal, their blood is molten metal and their skin is
The iron troll will fight to the death to keep people
from entering the area 24 and interrupting the magic
summoning occurring within.
24. “The room you have entered is lit by torches
along the wall. Two large stone statues are on either
side of an altar that is covered with the remains of a
sacrificial victim. Four of the trolls you have fought
throughout this complex stand facing you. Their
weapons glint in the firelight as their eyes bore into
yours. Behind them in the center of a strange
drawing on the ground, chanting is an unknown
tongue one of their kind dressed in robes. Strange
lights flicker around you and the room, with a
disconcerting darkness beginning to form”
This is the room Buhrdur has begun summoning the
avatar of Kolrak Mar in. The party has six rounds to
stop him or he will be successful and they will face
the avatar. The four trolls facing them are the last of
the elite guard. Pay strict attention to the round
count and play up the pending arrival. As they get
closer to round six, the lights flicker more and the
 Temple of Kolrak Mar
darkness grows until the avatar appears. Buhrdur

If the party stops the summoning or destroys the
avatar they are successful, if they do not stop the
summoning and the avatar is freed it will fall to them
to stop the evil they have released on the land. That
is, if they are still alive.
25. “You have entered a large cavern, it is lite by
torches and a fire. There are several of the beasts in
here that appear to be filling water barrels from an
underground lake. They do not seem to have
noticed you yet.”
There are 15 crested gutter trolls in here filling the
water barrels. They do not initially see the party.

26. “This large cavern is bisected by a large crevasse
that is spanned by natural rock bridge. The cavern
itself is awe inspiring, huge crystal stalagmites and
stalactites grow from the cavern itself in different
colors. You see vibrant reds and blues and deep
greens and bright yellows, your torch light is caught
in one and reflected to another causing rainbows to
spring to life. The bridge spanning the chasm
appears to be made of one giant amethyst geode
has been opened on the top and sides with a
suspiciously smooth path down the center. As you
look around a faint noise can be heard, it sounds
almost like bargle, bargle”
Within this crystal forest are kharglers that were
placed here to guard the room at the end of the
cavern.
Khargler (5); HP 48; AC 5; Atk Bite (2d4); Move 9; XP
600 Special: bargle
At first sight a khargler is a ridiculous beast. It
appears to be a huge mouth with tiny hands and
clumsy feet. Don’t let looks deceive you, they are
horrifying bloodthirsty beasts that feed on the flesh
of humanoid creatures unfortunate enough to fall
prey to them. Their babbling voices which sound like
“bargle, bargle, bargle” is monotonous and
eventually maddening if heard for long enough. Each
round in their presence increases the chance of
inducing this temporary madness. Save at +10 the
first round, each round thereafter the bonus is
reduced by 1 (+9, +8, etc.) until the victim fails a
save. When maddened the character has a 50%
chance of attacking an ally instead of the khargler
each round. The madness only lasts 1-4 rounds.
Thereafter that character is not affected by the
bargle.
27. “You have come to the back of the crystal cave to
find a door. It appears to be a large, heavy stone
door with many designs and sigils carved into it and
the frame around it. There is no question this door
is magical as its aura makes the hair on your arms
stand up. This is a powerful enchantment, what
riches could be behind this door that requires such
protection? There is only one way to find out.”
There are no riches behind this door; it is a magical
prison cell. Long ago Prismal the Outrageous trapped
a powerful female vampire here and placed
kharglers there as a guards.
 Temple of Kolrak Mar
To open the door one must first Dispel Magic on it
vs. an 18th level mage (this was early in Prismals
career). Than two F/ART rolls must be made as
there are two mundane traps on the door as well as
being locked. The traps are difficult to disarm and
they impose a -10% on the disarm roll.
Trap 1 - Poison Dart Trap (1d4 damage plus poison;
onset 2d4 rounds, save or 70 damage)
weapon of 1d64 (vampire); SA drains two energy

Trap 2 - Falling Ceiling Trap (save or die)

The lock is especially difficult and imposes a -20% on Appendix

the open lock roll.
