Adventure Synopsis

Through the Pale is a Fifth Edition adventure for three to six characters of 2nd to 4th level, optimized for a party of four 3rd-level characters.

A mature phase spider has claimed a remote cave system as her lair, drawn by a planar thinning created years ago by a wizard’s fatal experiment. As the creature prepares to lay her eggs, her hunting has grown increasingly aggressive, threatening nearby settlements and travelers. The ghost of the dead wizard still haunts the caves, trapped between the Material and Ethereal planes, unable to find rest. Can the party navigate the web-choked chambers, confront the phase spider before her brood hatches, and perhaps grant peace to a tormented soul?

This adventure takes place in Cartosia, but the names of people and places can be changed to place this adventure in any remote wilderness across a variety of campaign settings.
