The adventure takes place in the village Wodfeld, situated

in the woods. The name Wodfeld could easily be replaced

by the name of an existing place in your campaign world, or

by a name that its your campaign world better. The woods

in which it lies is not given a name, but it could be any large

forest in your campaign world.

the ire that night, just as the wizard expected.

Farduron went into the woods, to a place where he

thought no one would ever ind him. He let the golems dig

out an underground complex, near a river. Farduron forced

Koldar to make statues from river-clay, and the wizard

turned the statues into golems. He used these golems to

expand the underground dwelling and guard the area.

In the main hall of the complex, Farduron had just started

building the enormous clay golem – the colossus – he

planned to conquer a kingdom with, when his owl familiar

discovered the ruins of a large building, several miles from

the complex. Farduron decided to make a stone colossus

with stones from the ruin, since a stone colossus would be

much more powerful than a clay one.

Running the Adventure

It is recommended that you read through the adventure

at least once before running it, to become familiar with

everything in it.

In the adventure, you will ind text blocks in italics, that

are meant to be read or paraphrased to the players.

He made new golems, and wanted those to be able to

make the trip to the ruins unseen. Farduron could make

them invisible himself, but he could not prevent the heavy

constructs from leaving an easy to follow trail. To solve

this problem, he captured several druids and rangers who

wandered too close to his dwelling. Soon he found one,

an elven ranger called Syanias, who could make magical

items, and forced the elf to create boots that granted the

ability to pass without trace. With these boots, the golems

could only be noticed by someone who heard them passing

by. Farduron could have silenced them, but he thought

noise from an invisible source in the forest would be very

effective to scare people away, so he didn’t. To make sure

someone who was brave enough to seek the source of the

sound wouldn’t live to tell the tale, Farduron commanded

the golems to attack and kill any creature that approached

within ifty feet, except animals. He then ordered the

constructs to go and pick up stones from the ruin.

Adventure Background

More than one hundred years ago, the mad but powerful

wizard Farduron made plans to take over a kingdom. He

wanted to build an enormous golem, thinking he could

literally squash anyone who opposed him with the mighty

construct. The wizard, who was extremely wealthy, could

build a statue of the desired size, but he wasn’t nearly

powerful enough to summon and control a spirit that

was strong enough to animate such a thing. After years of

research and experimentation, the wizard discovered how he

could force several spirits from the Elemental Plane of Earth

to animate one statue together. He was ready to begin with

his plan.

Several months later, Farduron’s colossus was nearing

completion. Farduron began summoning the spirits that

would animate the gigantic, hollow statue. He completed

the summoning ritual for the irst time, and a rift to the

Elemental Plane of Earth opened. A spirit came through,

dragging sand and stones with it. Farduron had great

dificulty controlling the spirit. It shook the statue, causing

a minor earthquake, before the wizard could force it to

stop. When he controlled the irst one, Farduron started

summoning a second spirit.

Farduron had two large blocks of stone delivered to his

house on the edge of town. He hired the dwarven sculptor

Koldar to make statues out of the blocks. When Koldar had

inished both statues, Farduron cast a hold person on him

and tied him up. The wizard summoned two spirits from

the Elemental Plane of Earth, and used them to animate the

statues.

The next night he set his house on ire, and left with

his dwarven prisoner and the two golems, that carried

his belongings. While the other citizens were watching

or ighting the ire, the wizard disappeared into the night,

unseen. Even though the bodies where never found, the

citizens assumed both Farduron and Koldar were killed in

A druid who roamed the woods not far from the

complex noticed the rain of sand and stones, and the

earthquake. He tried to check out what was going on, but

could not get past the guarding golems. The druid decided it

was best to warn a more powerful person or organization.

E arth Unleashed is an adventure intended for a party

He traveled to a temple and told the priests there what he

had seen in the woods. The high priest sent a group of

powerful clerics and paladins to investigate. With the aid of

some teleporting wizards, they were able to travel very fast.

The divine warriors destroyed the guarding golems, and

witnessed the summoning of the ifth and last spirit.

the spirits managed to break away from the colossus, and

led to their home plane.

The divine warriors who survived the event buried the

colossus completely, and went back to their temple. Neither

the people in the temple, nor the wizards told anyone about

what had happened, because they feared the story might

inspire some madman to build a second colossus. The

priests wrote a report, but people outside their order were

not allowed to read the document.

Three years later, a group of lumberjacks traveled with

their families through the woods. They followed the river,

searching for a place to settle. The loggers found a ield with

on it only young trees, that could easily be chopped down.

The river was relatively wide there, and the current calm,

because it was the place where

Farduron had dug off river-clay.

It was an ideal place for the

lumberjacks to build a small

village. They called it Woodield.

Now, almost a century later,

it is still a thorp. The name

Woodield has been corrupted to

Wodfeld.

About one year ago, during a

thunderstorm that lasted several

days, the sorcerer Tzago found refuge

in the temple of the divine warriors

who defeated Farduron. He started reading

documents in the library, and a dusty shelf

he found the report about the wizard who

built an enormous golem. The priests had

forgotten all about it, and didn’t prevent

Tzago from reading it. The document

fascinated the sorcerer. When he left

the temple, he stole the document,

because he needed it to ind the

colossus…

Farduron succeeded at binding the ive spirits to the statue

and ordered the animated colossus to dig its way to the

surface. A surprised group of clerics, paladins, and wizards

saw the colossus’ head appear, followed by its arms and

torso. It pushed its legs up, and stood up from the ground.

Farduron sat in the chest cavity, unable to look out.

To keep the colossus moving, he needed to concentrate

on controlling it, but

when the construct was

standing, the wizard let go

for a moment. He cast a

couple of disintegrates, to

make holes in the chest

and back. He wanted

to seal these holes with

permanent walls of force,

but the divine warriors

prevented that.

After the disintegrates, the

clerics and paladins detected the evil

wizard. With the help of the wizards,

they teleported in and demanded

Farduron’s surrender. The mad wizard

laughed, and attacked them. He was

no match for the group of powerful

individuals, who killed him.

With the death of Farduron, the

spirits in the colossus were freed.

They immediately focused their

energy on leaving the colossus,

slowly detaching their

essence from the construct.

No longer kept in

balance by the spirits, the

colossus fell down. The

construct crushed some

unfortunate clerics and

paladins who couldn’t

get away in time, and

destroyed the underground

complex. The colossus itself

was not heavily damaged, because

the spirits’ presence still held it

together. A couple of minutes later,
