Stone Dead (3.0)

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Petrification is one of the worst possible fates in a fantasy game. As a statue, you're not truly dead, but you're certainly not alive. You're held in stasis for as long as it takes for someone to find you and return you to your normal state. This power is certainly what makes otherwise standard monsters such as the basilisk and cockatrice so feared.

How much more frightening is it, then, when the source of this effect cannot be seen?

Drop this adventure by Stan! into an area of your campaign world where an isolated town has a reputation for healing.

Suitable for four 14th-level characters.

Adventure Preview

The remote village of Respite gained notoriety many years ago because the waters of its hot mineral spring were said to have restorative powers. But within the past few weeks, a terrible tragedy has befallen the famous resort town. People have been growing ill and then turning to stone! The clerics suspected some sort of plague but were unable to find the cause. Those townsfolk who were wise packed up and fled Respite before it was too late. The rest turned to stone.

Now the town of Respite is a silent place populated only by stone images. Statues of the townsfolk stand here and there all over town, and strange gargoyle statues now decorate the town's gate and the sanatorium. Can the PCs find out what has happened to Respite before the plague spreads further?

We (Wizards) recognize that some of the legacy content available on this website does not reflect the values of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise today. Some older content may reflect ethnic, racial, and gender prejudice that were commonplace in American society at that time. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. This content is presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Dungeons & Dragons teaches that diversity is a strength, and we strive to make our D&D products as welcoming and inclusive as possible. This part of our work will never end.

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.
