Years ago, enigmatic figures known as the Triune created a strange temple and set themselves up as gods. Though they wielded great magic, their religion eventually disintegrated and their temple fell into ruin. Wise ones speak of unusual magic, bizarre riddles, and ritualized tests within the place. You know, however, that a powerful magic item called the strand of tears may still be lost in these ruins. But is there more in the temple than it might seem?

The Temple of Mysteries: In Media Res is a dungeon adventure for 4th- to 5th-level characters. Its challenge lies not just in overcoming foes in combat, but in solving puzzlelike problems and dealing with unique roleplaying challenges. The Temple of Mysteries is a very difficult adventure that will challenge even the most experienced players, whether they are fans of hack-'n'-slash, puzzle solving, or in-depth roleplaying.

Originally created to help celebrate the 30th anniversary of the world's most popular roleplaying game, The Temple of Mysteries was run at conventions and game days. This stand-alone adventure is intended to serve as a one-shot dungeon scenario. In addition to the scenario itself, this bookincludes:

Six pregenerated characters appropriate for the adventure and ready to play.
Maps created using Dundjinni mapping software at normal scale (1 inch = 40 feet) and battle-mat scale (1 inch = 5 feet). Just print them out and lay them on the table to provide a beautiful gaming environment for the adventure.
Counters courtesy of Fiery Dragon Productions for all the pregenerated characters, NPCs, and creatures in the adventure.
Handouts for the players.
