For the past few days, I have soloed my way through the fun D&D Fifth Edition adventure Prison of the Arachlex. It is for characters of level five to seven. This adventure is inside this free magazine - Crucible Magazine Issue #000 (92 pages). I used Save Game A World of Adventure (Fate) as my RPG system. It is 60 pages and available at the same place (DriveThruRPG). I used five characters that had gone through the adventure Opera Fortress in the Save Game document. I soloed this new adventure with The FlexTale Adventuring Toolkit (612 pages, same place).
So, my characters picked up their quest from the village elders. They headed off into the hills and they were soon in combat with the spiderkith (acid attacks). They are from an interplanar
ship that was full of telepathic beings that crashed centuries
ago on the material plane, killing all
but a few of its crew members. The survivors
built a laboratory in the remnants of
their ship, seeking a way back to the plane
of madness. There were problems and now my characters had to deal with the mess. Gatti was soon damaged from combat and took even more damage from a trap inside the crashed ship. Chenda healed him. They encountered a stone-like robot (not made of metal) who completely ignored them. Chaib used his psychic abilities to communicate with the ship. He also activated the elevator, which was helpful. Things were going smoothly until they ran into poisonous spiderkith. Of course it was the healer who got poisoned. They exited the ship but did run into an upset bloodrager. Gatti calmed him down. They received healing in the village and spent the night there. The next morning they went back and had to fight the Big Bad. It had a psychic attack which took down Chaib. They killed the monster, rescued a child, but then the ship started to fall apart. Agent Brad was knocked unconscious from falling debris. So, two of the five characters had to be dragged back to the village. As soon as they entered the tavern, they started feeling better. Give this a try and find the nice loot!
