Nastja’s Ascension is a complete one shot adventure module for Tier 1.
This cavern was claimed by a priestess known as Nastja the Righteous many years ago. In life, she was gifted with divine magical abilities that she used to heal the sick and mend the wounded. She asked nothing in return for the use of her powers. Eventually, she was pursued by those with nefarious intentions and was forced to go into hiding. She found this cavern where she created a gauntlet that visitors must pass. Through her magic, she ensures that there are always obstacles that must be overcome before reaching the magical pool.
This dungeon is combat heavy. Most areas contain creatures that can, or must, be fought.
