In The Idol of Alabaster, a group of level 4 adventurers finds out that their mage now has issues controlling the elemental fire magic that soon before obeyed their commands. It turns out, a mentor or high-level mage reveals, that the Secret of Fire is required for them to be able to advance in their arcane journey of discovery and power. The mentor points them toward a place where other mages in the past have traveled to acquire this magical secret.

The characters arrive at a strange crypt where twelve mighty knights were interred hundreds of years ago. The knights' tomb is apparently unrelated to the Secret of Fire. Instead, it is the place where a mage once discovered this arcane nugget of knowledge and it became a tradition that other novice magic-users came to the crypt to learn how to control fire.

This adventure takes the heroes to an ancient knights' tomb, confronts them with deadly traps and guardians, and reveals a secret that an advancing wizard requires to control stronger fire spells.
