Dungeons & Lairs #47: Mage Cube

Need to set up a session and have little time? Drop this in for play at levels 5, 8, 11, or 14!

Mage Cube is a Fifth Edition plug-in adventure for four characters with an average party level (APL) of 5, 8, 11, or 14. This addon offers a general guideline on scaling the adventure for each level. A powerful mage has established himself and his apprentices in a non-Euclidean demiplane where he hides his most precious possession, a mysterious scroll. If the characters wish to abscond with this artifact, they need to contend with magical traps and summoned protectors.

You may also run this adventure as part of the Dungeon & Lairs Megamodule #2: Seekers of Yil. If you do, refer to the Seekers of Yil megamodule’s adventure hook, “The God of Secrets Appears,” to get your characters involved in the story.

Background

Allomir Sarovar, referred to as Master Sarovar by most, is the head of a conglomeration of mages. He and his disciples reside in a mind-warping pocket dimension shaped like a cube with only a small building in the city proper. In his possession is the Scroll of Mysteries, a powerful artifact that has been linked to the god Yil. While it is unknown what powers the scroll holds exactly, it is said that whoever manages to unlock its secrets will be as a god. This scroll is protected behind a chain of teleporters armed with a gauntlet of magical traps.

Unfortunately, Master Sarovar is becoming forgetful in his old age. To protect himself, he has hidden clues pointing to the nature of the spells used in the statues and art around the base. If the party is able to find and decipher these clues, reaching the Scroll of Mysteries will be much simpler!
