Instrument of Destiny

A Fantasy Adventure for Levels 6-8
Every three years, the desert village of Hariq commemorates Tahlessa bint Mizrah, its most famous daughter, with a contest that draws great musicians from far and wide, vying for the honor of playing Tahlessa's harp. But not everyone attending this year is planning to play fair. A mission to preserve the honor and treasure of Hariq leads the adventurers into the treacherous desert, right to the mummified heart of the Caliphate's dark past, when infidels ruled the land and served dark gods whose thirst for blood matched the parched desert's thirst for water.
This adventure features:
* The Caliphate of Makhtaba, an Arabian/Egyptian-flavored adventure setting, which the GM can easily replace with similar lands in his own campaign world (or those in various published campaign worlds).
* A mixture of role-playing in the Festival of Tahlessa, wilderness explorations, and a deadly dungeon.
* New additions to the D20 System, including the ancient secrets of hieroglyphic magic.

Three Days to Kill

A Fantasy Adventure for Levels 1-3
"Now could I drink hot blood, and do such bitter business as the day would quake to look upon" – Hamlet
Deeptown lies in the shadow of mountains, a town where anything is for sale if you can only meet the price. But in the wild surrounding valleys of the Deeps, it's the bandits who make the darkest deals – and their ambition comes at a cost far greater than the contents of any wayward caravan.
You and your team have just been handed a new job: disrupt a meeting between a bandit lord and his mysterious new allies. At a remote mountain villa, you will strike hard and fast and leave terror in your wake. They give you the tools. You provide the talent. Survive, and you'll be well rewarded. Fail, and you'll pay the price.
You've got three days to raise some hell.
