For copyright reasons, we can't reproduce the exact map handed out to the players of the Mourning Glory campaign, but you can make simple changes on your own, or use the Simplified Map (See Fig. 1) included in this document.  \nA Note on Power Level  \nThe features, wards, and guardians of the Pit of Five Sorrows are geared toward a high6level 5E party. Lower level games may need to trim them back, use the standard version of spells, or reduce damage and Hit Points of guardians.  \nThis was intended to be difficult for Level 15 characters to complete with a variety of magic items and potions at their disposal.  \nOptional: Prepare the Map  \nStart with the GM map of the Vault of the Dracolich, the D&D 5E preview adventure.  \nMap Features  You will need to remove excess rooms, change the scale to 20 feet per square, and relabel it.  \nRemoved Areas  \nRemove areas 12-25 from the Vault of the Dracolich map. Use an image editor, such as Photoshop or GIMP, to close off the remaining areas and make the Pit self-contained.  \nArea Numbering  \nThe numbering scheme within this document, the Vault of the Dracolich, and the Simplified Map (See Fig. 1) are identical. We have intentionally omitted numbers 12-25.  \nRenamed Areas  \nRename the following areas from the Vault of the Dracolich. You can use the Simplified Map (See Fig. 1) as a guide.  \n1: Entrance Hall  \n2: Dedication Room  \n3: Guardroom  \n4: Labyrinth  \n5: Armory  \n6: Library  \n7: Sepulchre  \n8: Trap Room  \n9: Watchtower  \n10: Arcane Storage  \n11: Quarantine Cells  \n26: Laboratory  \n27: Trap Room  \n28: Shrine to Ourelonastrix  \n29: Hall of Folly  \n30: Meditation Room  \n31: Prophetic Observatory  \n32: Vault  \n33: Prison of Tiamat  \nFeatures  \nThe entire complex is warded, primarily to prevent fiends and evil dragons from compromising its security. Change the focus of the wards to suit the major forces of evil in your campaign.  \nGeneral  \nThe following features and effects are present in all areas of the Pit of Five Sorrows, except where specifically noted in a given area.  \nGreater Forbiddance  \nNo planar travel or summoning is possible into or out of the Pit. Teleportation does not function at all inside  \nthe Pit. Communication and divination that relies on sources outside the Pit do not work. Undead also do not function inside the Pit, as the negative energy required to power them cannot be obtained from Mabar, the Plane of Negative Energy. The damage effect is keyed to fiends, and there is no password to shut it off.  \nDaylight  \nEvery room is brightly lit, as ifby a daylight spell.  \nAlarm  \nA permanent alarm is triggered by the presence of any creature other than a true dragon of good alignment or the construct guardians ofthe Pit.  \nDoors  \nAll internal doors in the Pit are arcane locked. The password is taknatkori, the Draconic word for \"purity. \" The doors are so large that it is difficult for medium sized creatures to push them open. When the doors close, they relock themselves.  \n© 2015 Total Party Thrill, [www.totalpartythrillcast.com](www.totalpartythrillcast.com)  1  \nWalls  \nThe walls of the Pit are extremely durable and warded against all effects that change their structure, such as meld into stone or passwall.  \nGuardians  \nDragons rarely enter the Pit itself, for fear of corruption. Security is handled by constructs: an adamantine dragonforged and an omnimental formed from living breath weapons. Both guardians are in constant telepathic contact with each other (see Guardians) .  \nRooms  \nIn addition to the general defenses ofthe Pit, many rooms","cbCaivED6tHHxp31","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivED6tHHxp31","pdf",2016978,"English","# A Note on Power Level\n# Optional: Prepare the Map\n## Removed Areas\n## Area Numbering\n## Renamed Areas\n# Features\n## General Defenses\n## Greater Forbiddance\n## Daylight\n## Alarm\n## Doors\n## Walls\n# Rooms\n## Entrance Hall\n## Dedication Room\n## Labyrinth\n## Sepulchre\n## Trap Rooms\n## Watchtower\n## Quarantine Cells\n## Hall of Folly\n## Meditation Room\n## Prison of Tiamat","[{\"question\":\"What is the Pit of Five Sorrows designed to contain and protect against?\",\"answer\":\"It is a prison for Tiamat, designed with wards primarily to prevent fiends and evil dragons from compromising the dungeon’s security.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the dungeon limit magical travel and summoning?\",\"answer\":\"No planar travel or summoning is possible into or out of the Pit, teleportation does not function inside, and communication/divination relying on outside sources does not work.
