Dungeons and Dragons – Mystara
Adventures AC 1009 – Mystery of Flameflicker
Stronghold
Source: The Grand Duchy of Karameikos (gaz1)
This adventure was originally part of the Basic Adventures section of Gazetteer 1 – The Grand Duchy of Karameikos which I modified and one of the changes to be investigated as part of the Wrath of the Immortals storyline.

This features in the following sections:
- Gazetteer – Karameikos
- Timeline
- AC 1009 – Mystery of Flameflicker. Can you capture the Thief-King Flameflicker.
The Original Concept
​​Long before this adventure, you can contrive to get one of the PCs romantically involved with the very appealing Alya of the Street of Dreams.​​​​
​As this adventure gets underway, the PCs are hired or requested by the captain of the Guard Phorsis of Specularum to investigate and capture the Thief-King, Flameflicker. The Guard is willing to provide some item of treasure of sufficient value that Flameflicker is sure to involve himself in the theft… if the characters will set up the opportunity for Flameflicker to try and steal it… and himself be caught.​
Of course, when and if Flameflicker is caught, “he” turns out to be Alya. The character is faced with a moral choice: Does he side with honor and the task he promised to perform, or friends and the woman he’s come to love?​
Details
- Adventure Level: 15-25, Expert (converts to 11 to 15)
- Topic: The Thief-King.
- Interesting Features: Romance.
- Campaign Hook: A chance to catch the most notorious thief in Karameikos.
The Outcome
Not run as part of the campaign.
Can be run anywhere in the second five years of the campaign from Year Eleven to Year Fifteen, and can be adapted to run at other levels as an ongoing adventure option. It is set to run in Phase Three of the campaign.
Conclusion
More to be written about the outcome.
