Cathedral Dragon's Ruin [HBA-1]

Halo of the Blood Angel: Cathedral Dragon's Ruin

A 3-4 hour 5th Edition adventure for level 11 characters.

This adventure is part of Halo of the Blood Angel, a level 11-16 adventure path for 5th Edition.

The cathedral dragon Deiureuxcross the Illuminated has laid burning waste to Gravewater Port in the city of Withengard, a major shipping and trading hub. After utterly destroying the area and killiing hundreds, the cathedral dragon dug into the ancient catacombs beneath the port and created a new lair for himself. Will the party be able to stop the dragon from causing further harm, or will Withengard be ruled by a new draconic overlord?

This adventure is the first installment of Halo of the Blood Angel, an adventure path designed to take characters from level 11 to level 16. Halo of the Blood Angel centers around a cult called the Creed of the Crimson Tear whose leaders, the Four Humours, are ushering in the apotheosis of a violent and bloodthirsty angel. These adventures can be run individually or tied together into a campaign about stopping the Creed of the Crimson Tear from enacting their deadly plots.

4 Random Encounters for a Cult-Infested Ruin

The Unearthed Catacombs Dungeon, where the mythic Fanged Legion was entombed

A Dynamic, Two-Stage Boss Fight for Level 11 Characters
