The Temple of Kawa, a dungeon I built for my Pathfinder group!
In search of a rare alchemy ingredient – a skull-shaped orchid known as the Bone Flower – the party finds themselves chasing after a mischievous little bird with a skull-shaped mark on its face, into an ancient temple built into the cliffs above the River Aberdeen. The Tengu priests and monks have all been turned to stone, frozen with horror on their faces, but someone unseen still seems to be lurking in this temple. What tragedy befell these Tengu, and what strange connection does the skull-faced bird have with these flowers, once used in ancient rituals to turn warriors into terrible beasts?
This dungeon is made entirely of cardboard, and took about three weeks to build. Total cost was a little under 30 bucks, mostly spent on paint. The tiny paintings on the walls are magnetic and can be removed and rearranged as part of a puzzle. As a fairly small dungeon, the session ran about four hours.
