Spies Below the Moonsea Header Image

Zim Von Zeam – of ZVZ Caravans – has spent his life braving the lawless lands of Thar with his caravans. Now, life has gifted him with a new opportunity – establishing a trade route from Melvaunt to nothing less than an Underdark city. Does he have what it takes to deal with the treacherous drow? Zim’s ambition is an adventuring opportunity like no other.

Can you prove yourselves worthy in a test of combat prowess against elite drow troops and their cunning commander?

A Two- to Four-Hour Adventure for Tier 2 Characters. Optimized for APL 8.

      

To aid your latest foray into the Underdark, the following are included with the adventure:

  • Full colour illustrated PDF with a separate print-friendly version
  • Printable portrait cards for important NPCs
  • Reference Maps in separate gridded or gridless files for easy VTT integration
  • Sights Below the Moonsea: A Guide to the Zethlentyn Protectorate - this short lore supplement is included with all Zethlentyn-related adventures.
About the Spies Below the Moonsea series

This series of adventures deals with the Zethlentyn Protectorate – a city-state in the Underdark. Adventures in this series can be played without knowledge of the others and in any order. This is the fourth adventure in the series, however it focuses on an entirely stand-alone story and is meant to provide an alternative entry point into the series. If combining it with others Spies Below the Moonsea adventures, it can follow the events of House of Moonlight or precede the events of House of Silent Tides.

I noticed there is no stat block for an Undead Grick Alpha that is mentioned in the scaling for one of the combats. I cannot find a stat block for this in any wizards source book, is it just a typo or is there a missing custom stat block?

Hi, this is clarified in the description of the encounter itself - undead gricks and grick alphas use the regular statblock for those creatures, just changing the monster type to "undead" to be affected by things like turn undead and smite. Thanks for pointing this out, I will see if i can make this more clear if i get the chance to edit the adventure again!

Hello, yes, this is an AL legal CCC adventure. CCCs are currently considered to be part of the Historic campaign.

Hi, sorry, the "developer" chapter in the Zethlentyn guide is an old reference. There was an intent to allow other authors to create related CCC's, however, since that program was discontinued, it is not something that's available. If one day they make it possible to write Underdark AL adventures once more, I'll be thrilled to revisit this. I'll update the guide to reflect that. Another part of the reason it's not available is that given that it now may be years between parts, I do not want to commit to the future events that had originally been outlined by the guide, as by the time I get to write them (if ever), things may change.

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.
