Background

The Chained Library is a new location with creatures, magic items, and stories. “If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, the Chained Library is a cataclysm lying in wait,” says Indratha Nevarre, an antiquarian and sage.

Library Description

The Chained Library is a great fortress built into the black rock cliffs far from civilization. Spellbooks of liches and necromancers and ancient tomes of infernal secrets line the library’s prison-shelves, guarded by blind celestials. The library predates every known kingdom and even some of the younger gods.

These dungeon hallways are stalked by the monster from the catacombs (the Snatcher)

Each X marked on the map is a possible area where the monster can be encountered.

Each time a character can see an X, roll a d4:

On a 1, the monster is there, ready to chase the characters down.

From then on, the monster hunts the characters and does not appear on any other X’s.
