The Tear of Ubtao

Image
Our three daring adventurers—Brother Taro, a disciplined monk; Garret Halloway, a sturdy and steadfast fighter; and Magnus Vaylen, the cunning rogue—set sail for the untamed wilderness of Chult. Their quest, issued by the King of Calimshan: recover the legendary Tear of Ubtao , a mysterious gem of immense power, hidden deep within a forgotten temple. The Song of the Sirens The expedition began on the shimmering waters of the Shining Sea , with the sails billowing under a golden sun. Sailors whispered of sirens lurking below, but the crew pressed on. A storm threatened to engulf the boat, but Taro made the smart move of changing course. The next day, at dusk, haunting melodies began—a song that pulled at the soul. Three sirens, with flowing hair of blonde, black, and red, emerged from the waves. The sailors, unable to resist, leapt overboard one by one, bewitched by the deadly lullaby. Magnus, relying on his keen wit, had plugged his ears with melted candle wax and did likewise for the ...

Kaz, their captured comrade, was shackled to a makeshift execution platform. Cultists of Set had begun a ritual to sacrifice him and fuel the growing power of their curse. Without hesitation, the adventurers mounted their flying carpets—gifts from Sobek’s emissary—and soared toward the execution site. The scene was harrowing. Kaz, battered and bound, stood defiant even as the executioner raised a gleaming axe. Surrounding him were chanting cultists, their voices rising to a fever pitch as a venomous cobra slithered at their feet. The adventurers struck with precision and fury. Arrows flew, spells crackled, and blades danced. The cultists fought to the death, but the adventurers proved their equal. Laurence cut through the executioner’s dark devotion, while Kali’s magic neutralized the serpents that guarded Kaz’s chains. Wi...
