Expanding I2 Tomb of the Lizard King With A D100 Treasures and Minor Relics Tables & Campaign Tables

 The southlands of Eor are being despoiled. Merchants will no longer run their caravans on the main highway past the quiet village of Waycombe. The peasants are fleeing their lands, and all are demanding protection from the powerful Count of Eor. The goodly count has sent a troop of his trusted fighters to exterminate the brigands believed responsible for these outrages, but weeks have passed, and still there is no word from this force.

Now John Brunis, Count of Eor, has turned to you for aid. After taking counsel with the High Priest of Eor, he believes that a small party of cunning, bold adventurers may succeed where armed might has failed. You find yourselves faced with many mysteries!

Why has robbery suddenly erupted in the peaceful southlands? How could mere brigands be as powerful as the foes described to you by their numerous victims? Is this really mere robbery? Or is there some truth to the rumors, told only in hushed whispers, about the beginnings of a hideous plot being hatched by an ancient, vile, and evil foe of all mankind?

To capture the dark, swampy, and ancient atmosphere of the Tomb of the Lizard King, these items focus on fetishistic magic, decaying luxury, and the draconic influence of Sakatha.

I’ve organized these into a D100 table, ranging from simple swamp curios to minor relics that offer flavor without breaking game balance. This blog entry picks right up from here on the blog.

Using These in Your Campaign

• Atmosphere: Describe these items as smelling of sulfur, brine, or old blood to lean into the module's "pulp horror" roots.

• The "Price" of Magic: Since Sakatha is an undead tyrant, you might decide that using the higher-tier relics (91-100) causes the user’s skin to become slightly scaly or cold to the touch.
  

  To truly capture the vibe of I2 Tomb of the Lizard King, adventure hooks should lean into the themes of disappearing caravans, unnatural swamp growth, and the dread of the undead.

  I have broken these down into four thematic tables of 25 hooks each to create a full D100 list.

  Integrating the Hooks

  To make the transition into the module seamless, consider using Hook 25 (Refugees) combined with Hook 66 (The Map). This gives the party both a moral reason to enter the swamp and a mechanical guide to help them navigate the hex-crawl portion of the adventure.
