The Caves of Silence
The Caves of Silence is a Fifth Edition adventure intended for three to five characters and is optimized for four characters with an average party level (APL) of 3. Characters who complete this adventure should earn enough experience to reach two-thirds of the way to level 4. An abandoned mine needs to be cleared of a nest of monsters so the town can reopen it and the miners can get back to work. This adventure takes place in the Omeria campaign setting but is designed to easily be used as a stand-alone or fit into an existing campaign that has an abandoned mine outside of a small town with only a few modifications. The party should be prepared for some difficult battles with the spiders inside the mine.
Background
A phase spider and a nest of giant spiders have turned an abandoned mine just south of the town of Steeproost into their home, killing any who would try to take it back. Using the unique properties of a rare mineral that absorbs sound, the giant arachnids lay silently in wait for their meals to come to them. For years they have filled their bellies with the blood of anyone foolish enough to enter their lair, with their screams going unheard once they do.
