# Temple of the Fiend
The *Temple of the Fiend* has been written as an intimate setting  for two. With this in mind, an adventuring party of one at an average starting level of five is suggested. As a oneshot adventure, the game should take between two to four hours and be able to be completed in a single sitting or session.

## Disclaimer
*Temple of the Fiend* is an erotically charged adventure. With that in mind, please remember common sense and decency. Nothing in this story should be forced upon an unsuspecting adventurer. Any sexual content in any game played should at the onset contain the consent of all involved.

## Introduction

This sensual adventure features a newly summoned fiend and its dedicated followers. The adventurer faces a wide range of sexually charged situations when interacting with this erotically spiritual cult. An adventurer may choose to embrace the passionately free nature of the cult and become an initiated member, or struggle against it, perhaps in devotion to another patron, deity, or good aligned cause.

While tailoring the adventure to an individual adventurer's needs, keep in mind the adaptability of *Temple of the Fiend*. Every creature and encounter has been designed for a diverse range of personal tastes and interests. Each creature can present as any gender without impacting the overall story. Likewise, the Challenge Rating of each creature within *Temple of the Fiend* has been provided, making it easy to swap a creature if one proves somehow problematic for an individual. Please feel free to adapt the adventure and story as called for.

The *Temple of the Fiend* location is flexible and adaptable to any campaign setting. While initially written to take place in a temple, the building itself may be changed to a fortress if necessary. Likewise, the use of arcane abilities may be kept to a minimum in campaigns featuring low magic settings. Overhauling the location to fit a broader campaign and setting is entirely possible, and should take minimal effort. If sexual content is not a welcomed addition to the gaming table, all encounters may be run as strictly combat focused, as they are balanced accordingly.

## Adventure Hooks
The following adventure hooks work for a single adventurer and have been kept somewhat vague. When creating a personalized adventure hook, please consider character backstory and what might lead someone to such a place. 
 
***Seeking Rest.*** While traveling the surrounding countryside, a storm breaks out. The temple is known as a source of refuge for pilgrims and common travelers alike, making it the first choice as place to get out of the rough weather. 
 
***Holy Mission.*** As a new knight, a mission has been given to visit the temple and pledge service to the Champion of Divine Wisdom. While at the temple, the sacred magic of this deity fails to be felt, leading one to investigate the cause. 
 
***Arcane Knowledge.*** Rumors abound that deep within the temple rests an arcane secret so great it could change the histories forever. Attaining the secret might be as easy as swearing a pact with an unspoken of entity.

## General Features
On the first floor, the temple functions as a regular place of worship. This first level is dedicated to a Lawful Good aligned deity known as the Champion of Divine Wisdom. Only the corrupt priests and their dedicated acolytes know the truth lurking in the lower levels of the temple. 
 
***Doors:*** The doors in publicly accessible areas of the temple are standard wooden doors and remain unlocked unless otherwise specified. The main shrine doors are decorated with red and gold curtains. 
 
***Curtains:*** Curtains discourage the public from entering the chamber without approval of the temple priest. An exception is made for the temple's water closet and well room, a fact disclosed by signs or an acolyte upon entering the temple. 
 
***Illusory Walls:*** Quick access to the instruction, lecture, and performance halls is made possible by use of the student passageway. This passage is kept from the public by use of illusory walls which take a DC 15 Perception check to spot. 
 
***Lighting:*** The first level of the temple is kept at bright light. As the second level of the temple there is a decrease in visibility in any adjoining rooms to the main hall. The third level of the temple is dim light.

# Game Master References & Information

## The Adventuring Day
The Adventuring Day XP suggested for a party of one is usually 3,500 AXP. With this in mind, the total AXP for *Temple of the Fiend* is 3,675 AXP allowing for the game to be played in one session. Please keep in mind this calculation does not account for the random encounters. Including the recommended random encounters as written would add an additional 2,000 AXP to the adventure, making rests necessary.

## Adventuring Difficulty
Each of the encounters has been calculated for an adventuring party of one at an average starting level of five. This means the following Adjusted XP Threshold has been used to determine encounter difficulty: 
 
**Easy:** 250 AXP 
 
**Medium:** 500 AXP 
 
**Hard:** 750 AXP 
 
**Deadly:** 1,100 AXP 
 
If you are reworking the encounters in this adventure, use the difficulty thresholds as a basic guide. Please remember that adding encounters to the overall adventure will also impact the Adventuring Day XP recommendations, and to adjust the calculations accordingly.

\pagebreak

# Temple of the Fiend - First Level

### 1. The Entrance Chamber
>A statue of the Deity of Illumination greets all who enter the chamber with warmth and light. Nestled in the four corners of the room are wooden collection tables. Returned books, donated spell scrolls, and precious offerings demonstrate to all who enter that the temple is foundational to the town, a keeper of their combined wisdom.

***Hidden Door.*** The middle section of wall on the left side of the room is actually a hidden door. Spotting the deception takes a DC 15 Perception (Wisdom) check. This door opens into a passageway leading to the communal bedrooms.

### 2. Arcane Library
>Wooden shelves line every room offering up tomes of arcane knowledge to all. A soft glow of candlelight keeps the room cast in a soft orange hue at all hours of the day or night. In the middle of the room rests a large table with four chairs. The table seems to always be a mess, covered in maps, scrolls, and various paper notes.

***Illusory Wall.*** The door on the far right side of the room remains hidden behind an *Illusory Wall*. Spotting the illusion takes a DC 15 Perception (Wisdom) check. If discovered, the door is unlocked and opens out into the student passageway.

### 3. Instruction Hall
>Rows of bookcases line each of the four walls of the room, serving as a symbolic foundation for students. Devoid of furniture, the room's wooden lectern casts a foreboding presence. Even when not in use, the chalkboard retains the scribbles of prior lectures. The chamber has a relaxed atmosphere, though one does not wish to linger.

***Sponsored Elite.*** The hall contains **four nobles** currently talking with an **acolyte**. Upon being interrupted they decide to punish whoever discovered them. These nobles feel superior to commoners and thrive on the power dynamic. Discipline is meted out in the form of erotic edging or spanking. 
 
***Treasure.*** The acolyte mercifully hands out a *Potion of Superior Healing* after the nobles finish their instruction. Otherwise the nobles throw it in dismissal.

\columnbreak

### 4. Lecture Hall
>Disheveled desks line the far walls of the chamber, covered in torn papers, opened books, spilled out ink pots and blunted writing quills. The once lofty pews now offer little comfort to those intrigued enough to sit in front of the imposing lectern. Behind the podium rest two desks and a dusty chalkboard, both of which show signs of wear.

***Discovery.*** Those with a Passive Perception of 12 or higher notice a few scraps of paper with a circular design drawn on them. A DC 15 Arcana (Intelligence) check deduces that these designs are actually the workings out of a *Teleportation Circle* by a new member of the cult in the lower levels.

\pagebreak

\columnbreak

### 5. Performance Hall
>An impressive player piano greets all who enter this chamber. A large bookshelf resting against the left wall contains a rather modest selection of musical works. These compositions may be played on any number of instruments. Scattered about the chamber tables are mandolins, pan flutes, and lyres offering up their unique sound to any interested.

***Treasure.*** Hidden inside the piano is a small coin purse containing 70 Platinum Pieces. The purse's contents are in fact the cult's portion of temple donations for the month.

### 6. Main Hall
>A long stone corridor decorated by imposing columns remains constantly cast in an orange hue. This light comes from the four large cauldrons warming the great hall and providing its more ominous atmosphere. During all hours, the shrine's doors remain open, revealing a large stone statue of the Champion of Divine Wisdom.

***Devoted Penitents.*** Within the main hall there is a collection of **ten commoners** seeking a blessing from the Champion of Divine Wisdom. If interacted with, any commoner deems the adventurer a divine messenger. They offer their praise and willingness to do what is required of them. Unless given permission otherwise, the commoners stay prostrate in front of the adventurer. They will not depart unless ordered to.

### 7. Temple Shrine
>Up, from a tall height, a statue of the Champion of Divine Wisdom looks upon all who enter the temple's sacred space. Candles flicker upon the altar, their light donning the knight's visage in a soft yellow glow. Wooden pews offer rest to the weary, while those kneeling in prayer might take comfort in the burgundy rug upon the stone floor.

***Stairway.*** On either side of the chamber is a set of steps. These stairs descend to the lower levels of the temple. While easily accessed, the lower levels of the temple are reserved for dedicated priests, their acolytes, or promising students.

\pagebreak

### 8. Kitchen
>Two fires burn bright filling the kitchen with an uncomfortable level of light and warmth. These stove fires never cease their burning, feeding weary travelers and cultists alike. Washing tables ensure the kitchen stays stocked with clean plates and cups, while a nearby corner table allows for fresh produce and the finest meat to be had.

***Stocking Up.*** As a fully functioning kitchen, adventurers can find a decent meal and something to drink within the room. If needed, the kitchen can double as a resting spot as well.

### 9. Kitchen Storage
>A crammed room with wooden crates, stuffed sacks of grain, barrels of ale, and bottles of wine upon first impression the room seems unnavigable. Littered on the floor are pieces of cloth, splinters of wood, and even some shards of broken glass. The neatest table appears to be that for the wine, as not a single bottle or glass is out of place.

***Treasure.*** If searched, there is a 20% chance that an adventurer discovers a bottle of *Blood of the Vine*. The wine is specific to the cult, and used as a ritual libation to the summoned incubus or succubus. This vintage is also given out to visiting fiends upon their request for a drink.

### 10. Well Room
>The sound of flowing water fills the room providing a sense of relief to all who enter. A soft breeze seems to drift from the well in the chamber, tinging the air with a delicate coolness. Refreshing drinks fetched from the well adorn nearby tables. Off to one side, a barrel of water and fresh towels remain for travelers wanting to wash up.

***Treasure.*** At the bottom of the well rests a collection Silver Pieces worth 1,000 Gold Pieces if gathered. These coins were thrown into the well by wishful visitors to the temple.

\columnbreak

### 11. Water Closet
>While not a large room, there is a certain charm about the addition of a hallway within the chamber. Privacy is provided by single use stalls and wooden doors. Opposite the bathroom stalls rests a mirror and washing tubs. At any given time the water in these tubs is murky, but usable, a rarity to the usual accomodations elsewhere.

***Illusory Wall.*** The door in the lower half of the chamber connects to the communal bedroom through an *Illusory Wall*. This door is kept unlocked and appears to reveal nothing more than a storage closet. The illusion reveals only a bare stone wall.

### 12. Communal Bedroom
>Four stone chambers open out into a dimly lit hallway decorated in flickering candlelight. The atmosphere feels barren of decor, yet comfortable considering its purpose. Each bedroom contains a chest, standing closet, and small table. Each room also reserves one of the four altar spaces in the outer communal hallway.

***Hidden Door.*** Attached to the middle connecting wall is an altar concealing a hidden door. This hidden door takes a DC 15 Perception (Wisdom) check to spot. If followed, the passageway connects back to the temple's main entrance. 
 
***Treasure.*** Each chest in the communal bedroom contains 375 Gold Pieces. An adventurer searching an individual chest discovers the coin purse with no check required.

\pagebreak

# Temple of the Fiend - Second Level

### 13. Stairwell Access
>The descending stairs seem to disappear into the pitch of night. After a moment or two, the brief outline of a floor emerges. This floor soon turns into a hallway, lit only by a single lantern. A corresponding set of stairs remains directly across the passageway, while two sets of stairs foretell another level awaits the curious.

***Opened Doors.*** Two doors connecting the stairwell to the lower level's main hall remain open. A faint glow from the burning cauldrons can be detected with a Passive Perception of 10 or higher to encourage adventurer exploration.

### 14. Main Hall
>Devoid of the sacred elements above, the hall remains forever darkened. To help alleviate the drab atmosphere eight cauldrons burn all hours of the day and night. Spatters of stone decorate the hall in discarded piles. The hall is kept clean of cobwebs, but little care is otherwise shown as to prevent the natural wearing down of the space.

***Discovery.*** Occasionally the walls of the lower hall are stained with residual blood or soot. These are a foretelling of what awaits adventurers if they should displease the fiends and cultists located in other rooms. The harbingers can be spotted with a Passive Perception of 15 or higher.

### 15. Prison Chamber
>The bleak walls of this chamber are only added to in atmosphere by the stainless steel bars barricading each prison cell. Five individual cells sit in their appauling conditions, consisting only of a single bucket and makeshift pile of hay doubling as both furniture and bed. Blankets and pillows are made from scraps of old drapes and rugs.

***Watchful Eyes.*** The small prison chamber is routinely watched by a group of **eight guards** whether the chamber is occupied or not. If an adventurer is put in one of the cells, the guards are joined by **two thugs**. These appointed guards and thugs are ruthlessly sadistic, thriving on their power over those unfortunate to upset the cult. 
 
***Treasure.*** One of the thugs enjoys chasing escaped prisoners, and gives out a *Potion of Diminution* to increase the odds of this happening.

\columnbreak

### 16. Questioning Chamber
>An entrance of heat caresses all who are dragged into this terrible place. A large furnace is the source of this warmth. Across the doorway, a collection of hot irons and assorted tools have been strategically placed. In the center of the room sits a giant table with iron shackles. Occasionally, this table is stained with blood.

***Devoted Servants.*** This chamber is used to attain answers from prisoners of the cult. **Two cultists** work in this chamber and answer to a **cult fanatic**. Answers sought from the adventurer might be attained using sadomasochistic means or more sensual means utilizing light bondage and restraint. Darker pleasures may certainly be sated within this place. 
 
***Treasure.*** If the proper answers are given or the cultists are otherwise satisfied, the cult fanatic gives out or personally applies a *Restorative Ointment* to the adventurer.

\pagebreak

\columnbreak

### 17. Cult Shrine
>Four stone tables round out the chambers otherwise jagged walls. Candles burn in all four corners, casting the shrine in a hint of shadow. A small stone platform in front of the statue has been turned into a makeshift altar. The devotion of the cultists to the fiend ensures the chamber stays lit with their individually offered praises and candles.

***Summoned Visitors.*** Working in this chamber is a **priest** of the cult. The priest has been performing a ritual to drain the strength from two prisoners formerly kept in the prison. These unfortunate sacrifices are now **two shadows**. Upon entering the chamber the adventurer is caressed by these shadows. The priest may manipulate them to serve his unique pleasures. 
 
***Discovery.*** If an adventurer performs a Medicine (Wisdom) check with a DC 13 or higher, they can attempt to stabilize the sacrificial prisoners. If kept from death, the ritual cannot be completed. 
 
***Door Hint.*** While the priest has their fun with the adventurer, the creature in the adjoining room hears them. A DC 15 Perception (Wisdom) check draws attention to the curtain parting just slightly. This is the creature taking a look at the commotion disturbing them.

### 18. Fiend Statues
>Stone faces seem to study any daring enough to pass through the doorway of this chamber. The stone faces belong to the numerous statues of various fiends summoned by the cultists. All of these statues have libations in offering to them along with burning candles on their individual altars. The statues appear menacing and unsettling.

***Fiendish Adoration.*** A **bearded devil** or **medusan** is the only occupant of the room. Upon being discovered, they appear curious of their guest. The creature is hungry for a companion, and would enjoy nothing more than slowly corrupting a well-intentioned adventurer. Seduction is their primary method, and they are intent on not being denied.

\pagebreak

### 19. Master Bedroom
>A fine bed with sturdy wooden posts fills most of the bedchamber. While not cozy, the room feels more welcoming than the communal bedrooms above. Two bookcases frame the large bed, filled with magical tomes and ritual journals. Large wooden cabinets for storage and two desks frame what free space remains.

***Treasure.*** If an adventurer searches through the bookshelves and adjoining cabinets with a DC 10 Perception (Wisdom) check they discover a *Commune Spell Scroll*. This scroll is intended to be used before entering the library or portal room, but may be used anywhere.

### 20. Cultist Library
>Upon entering the chamber, rows of books offer all their enticing secrets. If followed long enough, the crowded shelves open up to reveal a warm and inviting library. A lounge area for reading remains nestled off in the far left reaches of the chamber, while across the way sits a table for arcane study. The chamber doubles as a common room.

***Devilish Relaxation.*** The library currently houses an important visitor to the cult. This visitor uses the **spy** stat block. Not traveling alone, the visitor is joined by their **two imps**. When disturbed the visitor doesn't take lightly to seeing an disapproving adventurer. Intent on teaching the adventurer a lesson, the imps soon follow any command given to them by their vengeful handler. During this process, the visitor wishes to take the adventurer on as a pupil. If agreed to, the adventurer will then begin the process of being initiated into the cult. 
 
***Treasure.*** If the adventurer refuses the visitor's offer of patronage, they are given a mere 900 Copper Pieces for their trouble, as the visitor wants them out of their sight.

\pagebreak

# Temple of the Fiend - Third Level

### 21. Stairwell Access
>Descending the last of the stone steps one cannot help but feel a sense of impending discomfort and unease. The small chamber below is lit only by a single lantern. Unlike above, there are no doors now and the stairwell opens out into the main passageway. The faint glow of red and yellow lights urges any to follow the depths of the walkway.

***Discovery.*** Before entering the main passageway, a DC 20 Arcana (Intelligence) check reveals the impending portal room beyond. The red and yellow lights come from crystals imbuing the teleportation circle with magic.

### 22. Main Passageway
>Large stone statues of grotesque fiends line the main passageway giving the space an ominous tinge. Mixing in with the candlelight are the glowing hues of red and yellow crystals. These crystals match the watchful eyes of the statues. To the side of each statue, a small devilish servant is liekwise depicted with outstretched wings.

***Pygmalion Guardians.*** As the adventurer walks down the hall, the movement causes **five damaged stone golems** to awaken. These living statues soon form into flesh and blood humanoids. The golems guard the portal room from unwanted visitors. Their fierce nature can be tempered with enough pleasure and sensuality. Wanting to experience a wide range of feeling while they can, these golems know few limits. Upon being sated, they allow the adventurer to continue to the portal room beyond. 
 
***Treasure.*** Five of the regular stone statues contain a pair of obsidian gemstones for eyes. These gemstones are each worth 10 Gold Pieces, for a total of 100 Gold Pieces.

\columnbreak

### 23. Portal Room
>An octagonal space shrouded in thorns, the chamber feels hostile to any mortal creature entering. What yellow light shines from the candles on the altar is soon drowned out by the reddish hue of the portal. An air of magic tinges the chamber's atmosphere, though one is unsure of if this magic is ominous or illuminating.

***Seductive Evil.*** Deep in the lower levels of the temple resides either an **incubus** or **succubus**. While not usually hostile, this creature requires psychic energy to live. The creature hasn't been routinely fed in a while, and is starting to get desperate. An adventurer may choose to feed the creature willingly, making no charm necessary. If an adventurer seems more reluctant, the creature will do anything in its power to persuade them to change their mind. 
 
***Shapechanger.*** One of the strengths of the incubus or succubus is its ability to change into any humanoid figure. Combined with some of its telepathic abilities, the fiend can play on the adventurer's deepest desires. 
 
***Patronage.*** If the adventurer has been taken as a pupil of the cult or shows a willingness to serve the fiend, they become a warlock. The adventurer will serve the fiend entering into a formal contract of service in exchange for power and greater abilities. If no agreement is wanted, the fiend still remains as a makeshift patron to the adventurer.

\pagebreak

# Resolution

### Fiendish Patron
If an adventurer enters into a pact with the incubus or succubus they are forever changed. The adventurer takes on the traits an abilities of a warlock. While a formal agreement is met and contractualized, the specifics of the contract are left vague here. Each adventurer will form their own unique bond with their patron leading to different requirments.

\columnbreak

### Cultist Ambitions
When an adventurer agrees to be initiated into the cult, they become forever indebted to it. The cult will instruct the adventurer in all the arcane arts. Eventually, the adventurer will be encouraged to undertake a contract with the fiend. If the fiend currently at the temple is rejected for whatever reason, the cult then helps the adventurer find another.
