The Overgrown Orphanage

$0.00

"Some playthings should never be picked up."

Deep within the Black-Root Mire stands a temple that has been swallowed by a gargantuan, ancient willow. This is the Overgrown Orphanage, a sanctuary where the Sorcerer’s failed creations were discarded. Inside, the walls are woven from living vines and the floors are littered with wooden dolls that move when your torch flickers.

The "True Treasure" is said to be the Sap of Life, a golden nectar capable of healing any wound. But the orphanage doesn't want your gold; it wants your company. In a place where the trees have ears and the dolls have teeth, will you find the path out, or will you be the next soul carved into a wooden frame to play here forever?

This adventure is the fifth entry in the Seven Temples series. It can be played as a stand-alone one-shot or chronologically as part of the full campaign (The Forgotten Realms: Seven Temples).
