Khyber's Children was the third adventure released for the Cabal of Shadows Faction Adventure to be run as part of the Xen'drik Expeditions campaign.
Synopsis
Adventure Start: The adventure begins with the PCs meeting each other in their new headquarters, where they receive directio non the mission and the last-known location of the shard. Members of Obscura receive their secret orders at this time.
Part One: The PCs do legwork in Stormreach and prepare for their travels.
Part Two: The PCs board a ship and head into the Thunder Sea , where they meet with Dilmoolgha . He explains that the area the PCs are interested in is in the province of Vulogthoth , an ancient aboleth . If they seek the shard, they have to travel into the heart of his domain.
Part Three: The PCs proceed into the briny deep using either potions provided by the Cabal or by activating their own abilities from a previous adventure. They are able to scout and locate areas of interest from the skum village, the ruins of a great ship, and a spire of rock that houses the aboleth.
Part Four: The PCs explore the sunken giant ship, now almost entirely covered by the shifting sands. In it they find it is now home to a creature of the deep that may be of help.
Part Five: The PCs investigate the skum village, despite the obvious overwhelming danger.
Part Six: The PCs explore the aboleth's lair, attempting to locate the shard while avoiding the dangers there. Skum and other strange creatures guard the way to the aboleth. Those that fight the aboleths have chosen poorly.
Ending the Adventure: The PCs manage to recover the shard before their magic runs out, and they flee back to the surface where their ship awaits.
