Beneath a Righteous Temple - Part 2

This has been an interesting series for me to write so far.  When I wrote the last part, I had no idea what was going on beneath the temple other than "something had broken through from below".  This is contrary to how I normally write adventures, where I start with a general overview and then zoom in and work on the details.

As a recap for new readers, Beneath a Righteous Temple is an adventure serial being written and posted to this blog on a weekly basis.  Over the next few weeks, we'll see further and further into the depths below the temple.  If you're just getting started, you'll want to reference the last 2 articles to get started:

1. Beneath a Righteous Temple - Part 1
2. Beneath a Righteous Temple - Bestiary Appendix

Adventure Summary

Beneath a Righteous Temple is an adventure set in a temple for Salara, the Lady of Crusades and Righteous Action.  In Acteos, the land of the Sundered Chronicles, these fort-like temples exist throughout the kingdom of Velashar as well as any locale that the Virtuous Order of Salara has initiated a crusade to.  This adventure was not written with any particular temple in mind.

Beneath a Righteous Temple - Bestiary Appendix

Last week, I started an adventure serial called Beneath a Righteous Temple.  Part 2 is scheduled for this week, and will find adventurers delving down into the crypts below the temple.  Before I get to that, I'm going to share the bestiary that I'd normally put at the back of the book for handy reference. Why?  Well, you'll need these monsters to run the adventure as it begins in part 2.

Beneath a Righteous Temple - Part 1

I have an irregularly posted feature on my wife's art blog, Markers and Meows, called Maps and Meows where I post maps I've drawn and go over some details of my process.  I'd like to start doing something with each map and posting it here.  Typically, this will probably be something akin to a one-page dungeon.

However, currently the maps I'm drawing for her blog are all linked together.  The first map, the Lakeside Temple, was a map of a fort-like temple.  I'm following up that map with some subterranean goings-on beneath the temple's main building.  I originally thought this would make a good short published adventure, but now I'm thinking I'll build this adventure over the next few weeks here on the blog for all to enjoy.
