An unlikely band of adventurers are drawn into a tale from the Forgotten Realms, beginning at Death’s Bane Tavern, where a worried innkeeper warns that evil has returned to an old mountain temple. Grave-robbing corpses, crimson-robed figures, goat masks, and stolen supplies all point toward a sinister cult working in the name of Orcus.
With snow underfoot and danger beneath the mountain, Serena, Rin, Arias, Blammo, Tereco, and Gumbo descend into the temple to uncover what the cult is planning. Glowing skulls, undead guardians, strange chambers, and chaotic heroics turn a simple job into something far stranger.
But in the depths of the temple, nothing is quite as straightforward as it seems. The will of Orcus hangs over every shadow, and the party must decide how far they are willing to go to stop evil before it rises again.
