The Opening

“The fountains of Oasisfell have turned the color of rust and smell of old copper. High Priestess Kaelen beckons you to the Great Reservoir, her face pale as sun-bleached bone. The source is choking and if it dies, so do we all.”

— Hook · Investigation and Dungeon Crawl

Set the Scene

The players stand in the Plaza of Palms as the central fountain sputters and then erupts with a thick, crimson fluid that smells of old metal and rot.

High Priestess Kaelen

She is desperate and frantic, gripping the players' arms as she begs them to descend into the forbidden lower aqueducts to investigate the source of the corruption.

Stakes

If the source is not purified, Oasisfell will be abandoned within a week, and a monstrous, blood-fed entity will emerge from beneath the sands.

Ticking Clock·The ritual reaches its apex in six hours; with every hour that passes, the city's exhaustion level increases due to dehydration and foul vapors.

Background Lore

Oasisfell was built over an ancient aquifer that has sustained life for centuries. Unknown to most, the water is filtered through a titan-sized prehistoric coral that reacts to magical resonance. A splinter cell of the Sand-Glass Cult believes that by feeding this coral blood, they can force it to produce a life-extending nectar, regardless of the cost to the city.

What the World Knows

The city's water supply has been tainted by a subterranean collapse or a natural mineral vein bursting into the tunnels.
