5th Edition Adventure: The Lost City Of Gaxmoor

The sun sinks slowly over the desolation of the ancient and once grand Empire. In the distance, just upon the slopes of a broad cliff, lie the ruins of a city. Her alabaster walls wind their way along the rocky mesa, guarding buildings both fair and ruined. It was a great city in its day, now long since fallen to the ravages of time and war. Long ago she stood as a shining doorway to the east, a place for rest and restocking of provisions for those on the long trek into the wild lands of the barbaric frontier in the Western Empire. But all that is past for this, the ruins of the Lost City of Gaxmoor.

The Lost City of Gaxmoor, written by Ernest G. Gygax and Luke Gygax is a sandbox adventure converted to the 5th Edition of the world’s most popular role playing game.

Outside the Wall: Gaxmoor begins with encounters on beyond the city walls. These include Grimhelda the Witch, burned out buildings, Weary Travelers Respite Inn and Stable a swamp, the gates, breaches in the city wall and more.

The Graveyard: There is a graveyard beyond the walls as well. Hemmed in by hedges and wrought iron fences the graveyard, filled with crypts both small and large, offers mountains of adventure and treasure.

Inside the Wall: Hosts of burned out and ruined buildings, couple with others still occupied and some recently taken over. Here orcs and goblins, gnolls and ogres all vie for power over the bloody streets of this ruined city.
