Necromancer of Zhentil Keep

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Zhentil Keep has lain dormant for decades, the destruction wrought upon it enough to keep even the bravest and most foolhardy away. But rumors and plots are stirring up things better left alone in the skeleton of the city, and the dead may not lay still for much longer.

East from the Keep, the city of Phlan celebrates Reclamation Day, honoring those lost in the fight to take back their home from a dragon who would be its overlord. Citizens, tourists, and adventurers alike take part in the festivities, and all are caught up when dark forces strike in the heart of the city.

As the past and the dead begin to stir, brave souls are pulled into a conflict that will decide the fate of not only Zhentil Keep and Phlan, but the Moonsea and beyond!

Originally published as three separate modules, the Necromancer of Zhentil Keep series appears here as a single adventure, including some new options for encounters within Zhentil Spire.
Those modules were:
ROZK01-01 Binder's Torment
ROZK01-02 Zhentarim's Lament
ROZK01-03 Necromancer's Ascent

This print-on-demand version is designed similarly to WotC adventures, and can be used for Adventurers League play, or outside of AL.  Guidance for the season 8 AL rules is included, and Season 9 guidance has been added to the Errata PDF.  You can download it here:  https://www.whpublications.com/downloads/dmsguild/rozk_errata_v1.1.pdf

A Dungeons & Dragons adventure for characters of 11th-16th level.

Any chance we'll see these lovely maps on the PDF made VTT capable in the future? Awesome work btw! Been a fan ever since Season 7. Hope to see more series like this.

Hey Miles, thanks for asking! This has been swirling my to-do list for some time, so thanks for the friendly prod in the right direction. :) I'll see what I can do about getting some VTT friendly maps up soon. Check back, since DM's Guild doesn't allow me to send out a notification when I update something. I'll also drop a comment here in the discussion for those who are following. :) Thanks again!

I have the soft cover and I am running soon but is there a conversion for the check point system or do I the dm need to do some calculating on the adventure to do xp instead.

otherwise this is a great book and mod. 4 out of 5 dragon ampersands.

Awesome, thanks for picking up the softcover, I hope you enjoy it! If you are using the check point system, head to page 71 for guidance. If you are doing XP instead, XP should be awarded for combat based on the creatures, and further XP rewards are listed throughout the book for non-combat resolutions. :D
Thank you for the 4 out of 5 dragon ampersands, that means a lot! :D

If I order the hardcover, is it print on demand? And if so, does that mean I get the latest corrections / errata?

Hey Will! Great question. So, right now, the errata is in a separate PDF file, and has not been worked into the POD version due to the way that the process works for getting POD set up. I have contacted Lysa to find out if it's possible for me to update the POD file, and I will respond to this thread again when I know more. I'd hold off on ordering the POD if you'd prefer the errata to be worked into it until I know for sure. If you don't mind a PDF of the errata, then order away. :)

Hi, I was wondering if the PoD version had been updated with the errata yet? Its been over a year since and I was just curious as it's the only thing keeping me from buying the physical version.

Thanks for the reply. I hope they end up responding because I would love a POD version. I've looked at some of your other adventures too and plan on picking them up in my next batch of purchases (such as Something Vile and Vile Wake)!

Hello again! Ok, so I found out how to update my POD title, huzzah! I will be taking care of that this week, though it will take the title offline while the updated file is approved. Once it gets approved, I'll leave you another message to let you know. :)

Sort of! It's still in the works, but hit a bump in the road when I realized that the files were on my Mac that died. The files were still there (thank goodness), but had to recover them and do a bit of rebuilding. Been doing that in my free time, and should have it fixed soon. :) Not going as fast as I wish it was, but it's still coming along. :) Thanks for checking up on things, Alexander!

If I start my players out on this adventure at level 11 where will they end up the end?

In accordance with Season 9 AL rules, characters would be level 14 when they finish up the hardcover. If you are not playing AL, and going by XP, it's going to vary.

Hi Jeremy, what if I run this without AL rules but use Milestone instead to level them up at a similar pacing to the AL rules, would that work? This is roughly 12h to run right?

Jeremy H June 27, 2021 5:45 pm UTC

Yah, you shouldn't have any issues doing it via milestone. I'd say 12 hours is a good estimate, it just depends on your group and their choices. I've had 2-hour adventures turn into 7 hours due to roleplaying, lol. But yah, each of the 3 parts are estimated for 4-hours each. :) I hope you all have fun!!

An errata file was added on 12/31/19. This fixes a couple of typos that people caught, as well as including the stat block for Doran Parzifel. There are two versions, one with the book's page background, and one printer friendly version. Thanks to everyone for catching those tidbits and letting me know! :D

**face palm followed by a head desk** Yah, he sure is! I will be releasing an errata sheet for the book soon, and will be sure to add Doran's stats! Thanks for the heads up... **puts on cone of shame**
I will reply again to your post when the errata is up, since DMs Guild doesn't send out an email when things are updated...that way, you should get a notification of your comment having a reply! :D

Guys...
Shortsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 7 (1d6 - 4) piercing damage.

That 1d6-4 almost killed our DM.

I know i'm a few years late but i'm looking for something to run for my party as they exit Curse of Strahd and this looks perfect. I have two questions if anyone is still monitoring this.

Can you verify this is 5e?

Do you have Fantasy Grounds module files for these 3 adventurers?

thanks for taking the time

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
