Goldentongue's Tomb

See below a simple map I created for my home Ptolus game, outlining a simple tomb. I created an original quest arc based on a story seed in the Ptolus sourcebook. The party needed to prevent religious inquisitors from dispelling the ghost of a kindly minstrel (the titular character of the Ghostly Minstrel tavern and inn, an iconic and central location in a Ptolus campaign).

They discovered that this particular tomb was the resting place of the spector's wife, who with her husband was tragically killed by fiend-worshiping cultists many years prior. The adventurers found evidence here of this story, which they used to successful defend the ghost in a religious court. Then they returned, following a group of cultists who kidnapped a friendly acolyte and planned to sacrifice him in a terrible ritual to summon Lord Karcius, the patron of the same group of cultists.
