Prove in this Crucible Court of the City of Brass that you are worthy of the allegiance of theefreets!”  \nJanuary 2 010 | Dungeon 174  \n16  \nTest of Fire  \nIn “Test of Fire,” the heroes are tasked by the reborn Bahamut with infiltrating Tiamat’s last stronghold in the planes—the legendary City of Brass. There, the heroes must engage a formidable efreet noble in a risky alliance, then square off against the Lord of the Efreetsand the blue exarch of Tiamat in a city under siege.“Test of Fire” is an adventure for five characters midway through 27th level. By the end ofthe adventure, the characters should have attained 29th level. This adventure is the penultimate chapter of the Scales of War adventure path, following the events of“Those Once Loyal.” This assault on the City of Brass can be adapted for use in other epic tier campaigns with a bit of effort.  \nBackground  \nFor untold centuries, the Dragon Queen Tiamat has labored on a deadly mission—the permanent destruction of her soul-sibling and nemesis Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon. Tiamat’s plans came to light in the mortal realm by virtue of her alliances with the githyanki. In the end, even the greatest of the heroes who turned the tide of the githyanki invasion of the world were unable to prevent Tiamat’s foul plots from claiming the Platinum Dragon’s life.  \nAll was not lost, however, for Bahamut is wise and farseeing. To prevent Tiamat’s ultimate revenge, he installed a fragment of his own essence into the deva Amyria. Through this fragment and the bravery of the heroes, Bahamut has been reborn at the Bridge of al-Sihal on Celestia. Tiamat’s forces, emboldened by the Platinum Dragon’s apparent demise, are reeling from this sudden reversal of fortune. Tiamat’s plans for cosmic dominion have been shattered, but the Dragon Queen is far from helpless.  \nIn a last-ditch effort to win its campaign against the forces of good, half of Tiamat’s remaining army has been sent to hold her final redoubt in the planes—the legendary City of Brass. By virtue of foul rituals and dark pacts undertaken with Bashumgarda, the Lord of the Efreets, the Dragon Queen has bolstered her draconic servants with elemental power that may yet turn the tide of war in her favor.  \nBahamut’s forces have already surrounded the city, but the combined defenses ofTiamat and theefreets will not be easily broken. The Platinum Dragon’s servants, however, have made contact withefreet factions within the city that might be turned against Bashumgarda. Even now, the other half of  \nTiamat’s army attempts to enter the Elemental Chaos in order to attack Bahamut’s force. Bahamut’s magic has sealed off the City of Brass, but it cannot do so for long. Against this dark deadline, it is up to the characters to infiltrate the besieged city and negotiate an alliance with the efreet noble Estumishu. The heroes must then make their way across a city preparing for all-out war to find and kill Bashumgarda in order to win the allegiance of the efreets. Unknown to the characters is the fact that Tiamat’s blue exarch Namissi, not Bashumgarda, is the true power in the besieged City of Brass. The adventurers’ mission in the fabled city will push them to their limits.  \nThe QuesTs  \nIn “Test of Fire,” the heroes must infiltrate the besieged City of Brass by way of the deadly warren of ruins known as the Keening Delve. Once inside the city, their mission from Bahamut is to negotiate an alliance with the capricious efreet noble Estumishu. In order to obtain Estumishu’s favor and open the City of Brass to Bahamut’s forces, the characters must slay Bashumgarda, the renegade Lord ofEfreets.
