The Flight Down Vecna’s Tendril is an ‘out-of-the-frying-pan and into-the-fire’ adventure. Your plucky bunch of PCs will leap onto a fishing boat and ride the rapids downstream to escape a huge herd of carnivorous dinosaurs. But then the river plunges into a heavy jungle, all light disappearing as the canopy of leaves join overhead. The river quickly turns into a whirling, bucking, frothing serpent-like body of water. Riding it out seems to be the only sensible course of action.
“It can’t get any worse”, the characters will think. But just then they will see in the dim light ahead that the river is rushing towards a stone out-crop without slowing down. Will they be smashed against the rock? But no, as they get closer they can see that the river goes straight through a hole in the rock face. Around the hole someone has carved the image of a skull in the rock so it looks like the river plunges through the gaping, toothy mouth.
This is the PCs last chance to jump ship before they enter the underground river system which could take them hundreds of miles away from their current location.
Vecna's Tendril is a roller-coaster ride down a fast flowing river. The PCs will encounter an assortment of different dangers to overcome before they are able to make it to safety.
They may even meet Gally Gher, an NPC created so the DM can have a little fun as well..
