Pathfinder - Crypt of the Everflame

Crypt of the Everflame is a dungeon adventure for 4-5 1st level characters, using the Pathfinder RPG rules.


The Crypt of the Everflame is an ancient crypt in the forest more than a day's journey from Kassen.  Within is the resting place of the town's founder, Ekat Kassen, as well as many of the townsfolk who fought beside him almost two hundred years ago, to save the newly founded town from a host of mercenaries and marauders.  Since that day, the Crypt has become an important part of the history of the town; a memorial to those difficult first few years of the town's existence.

Every autumn, a few of the townsfolk make a pilgrimage to the crypt to light a lantern from the flame and bring it back to town, where it is preserved all winter, a symbol of the town’s resilience. Most years, the town mayor and a group of dignitaries perform this quest. Every few years, however, a handful of younger townsfolk are given the honor of lighting the lantern. Many see this as a passage into adulthood, a taste of adventure before settling down to work and marriage. The quest starts out as a solemn ceremony in town, where the townsfolk gather to wish the adventurers luck, just as it was when Kassen himself left to fight the mercenaries. When the adventurers return a few days later, the town holds a great celebration in their honor. This also marks the final harvest celebration before the long winter.

It has been four years since the mayor last decided to send a group of young heroes to the crypt, but this year, the honor of retrieving the Everflame belongs to you!
