Undertree Temple of the Elf Gods

"Visions have I had, by the will of the deity Barbituous, of a white-headed beast sucking the marrow from a god’s skeleton. When I think of the elf temple, I feel the same chill I felt in my vision. The beast is down there. I know it."

This module details an eight room dungeon beneath a massive tree, along with relevant random encounter and rumor tables. It is presented in a usable format with terse and evocative language.

The tree above the dungeon has gemstone leaves, presenting an opportunity for substantial loot up front (I recommend combining it with your favorite random forest encounter procedure/table to add some risk to the reward). Below, a sickly dryad asks for help exterminating termites that infest the dungeon; a secret treasury contains a blade that grants control over any fiend it strikes (for a terrible price) and a cloak that allows the wearer to travel to higher planes of existence; abstract giant termites devour structure itself; and a novel monster sucks religiosity out of holy ikons and belches belief-shattering deific suffering. There are opportunities to eat glowing fruit and see what random effect takes place, learn the Rite of Moonlight Immortality from the statue of a goddess, and play with ambulatory lobster-shaped fungus. It also has a table for generating a random human bone!

The All-Dice Character Generator I was designed to generate characters with this adventure in mind.
