From the producer of Manual of the Planes, The Draconomicon, and Tasha's Crucible of Everything Else comes...
This short adventure is intended as a 4-8 hour side quest for 5th-6th level characters engaged in Turn of Fortune's Wheel, the adventure included in the Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse box set. It takes place at the end of chapter 3, where the party has time to explore Sigil just before they embark into the Outlands.
This adventure is inspired by the film Metropolis (1927, directed by Fritz Lang)
and the novel The Jungle (1906, written by Upton Sinclair).
Many words describe Zadara; wealthy, influential, wealthy, famous, wealthy, and passionate are but a few. Her deep voice, booming laugh, and dramatic gestures underscore her obvious lust for existence. This dark-skinned empyrean acts as a benefactress to countless small businesses and adventuring parties, asking only for a fair share of profits in return...
...and you've caught her eye.
Zadara has an unusual gift, an accurate sense for detecting someone's sincerity and potential just by looking at them. This ensures she almost always supports only reliably returns on investment.
For the first time in her eons-long life, this gift has failed her. It doesn't work on you. Not that it reveals a fate of mediocre ineptitude or an early, unprofitable death while adventuring; it simply reveals nothing at all.
She finds your party curious, interesting, and a potentially entertaining sponsorship. With plenty of gold to spare, she promises a hefty reward if the party completes a simple task for her. She asks (or rather, politely commands) your party to find out where her protégé Freyder has gone off to.
After a brief investigation, the party finds themselves at a slaughterhouse in the Lower Ward of Sigil, where they rescue trapped janitorial staff from hungry swarms of highly-intelligent cranium rats.
Beware the meat grinder.
As a reward for saving them, the threatened custodians offer meager supplies and important information regarding the whereabouts of Freyder.
This adventure will likely prove deadly for your cast of characters. Thank the gods for the multiversal glitch that keeps them safe.
If the party succeeds in their endeavors, they may have the opportunity to negotiate for a better life for the thousands and thousands of employees serving an interdimmensional megacorporation.
With gorgeous illustrations and cartography by the talented Emmy Rodgers, Planescape: Metropolis is sure to capitave your players' attention and introduce them to the weird, wondrous, and philosophical adventures Planescape is known for.
