  • AC 1000 – Relic Hunter – Aladdin’s Cave. A chance from a mysterious benefactor to find a magical treasure.

The Original Concept

A wicked Makistani sorcerer disguised as an elderly storyteller approaches the PCs with the tale of treasures hidden in a nearby cavern. “I can scarcely walk. I need young, strong people to carry the treasures through deep and difficult passages to the surface.”

The PCs are taken to a concealed trapdoor in the wilderness. Something is scrawled in an unfamiliar language on the door, but the old man opens the door with ease after mumbling a few phrases -“…part of the legend, you know.” The PCs descend into the caverns, and the old man closes the door behind them. The door is locked with sorcery and the PCs cannot escape! The old man promises to release them only if they bring him the following treasures. (Successive knock spells may open the door at your discretion.)

The caverns contain the following marvels:

• A room whose floor is paved with gold, diamonds glittering from the walls, and piles of gems everywhere. A beautiful woman beckons, her perfume filling your nostrils. If you enter the room, you pass out and awake outside the caverns. Two weeks have passed, and the old man is nowhere to be seen.
• A room with a pit of flame. In the center of the pit is a tree, it branches laden with gems. To harvest the gems you must devise a method to pass across the fire pit unharmed.
• An efreet bars a portal, behind which you see hundreds of men chained to the walls, and piles of gems on the floor. You may only stay five minutes,” the efreet says, “and you must each bring me a hundred gems, or I shall not let you leave.” The imprisoned men cry piteously to be released.
  • If the PCs do as the efreet says, but do not free the prisoners, they each can escape with 1,000 dinars of gems, but they are cursed by the prisoners.
  • If they relinquish the gems and free the prisoners, they become your loyal followers. With the help of their leader, a cleric, the PCs may escape past the efreet.
• The caverns are a complex maze. Unless the PCs mark their trail or map carefully, they become lost.
• A vast treasure room is enchanted. PCs who fail a save vs. spells become obsessed with greed, and refuse to leave unless they can bring every treasure with them. PCs must be overcome or tricked into leaving.
• A metal warrior with a red helmet stands before you. “None shall pass, but that he best me in a contest of arms.” He may not be harmed by normal weapons, but water burns him as though it were fire. (The red helmet is a symbol of the Magian Fire Worshippers, and the guardian is a polymorphed minor fire elemental.)

Once the PCs have explored the caverns, they must escape. The sorcerer awaits at the only door, and refuses to open it unless they swear upon Al-Kalim to give him all the treasure they carry. Characters may employ guile, force, or magical items found within to overcome the sorcerer and escape.
