"The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan"...We will we use 5th level characters, 27 point build, no race/class restrictions and 500 extra starting gold, which you should spend prior to playing on dungeon gear. You can also have three starting magic items = 1 uncommon and 2 common. Since this is a stand alone adventure, backstory is not terribly necessary but, if you want to add some flavor to your character, I have situated this adventure in the World of Greyhawk (Common Year 594), as was the original version of this OSR classic. That being said, you should know these basics...the Hidden Shrine is part of the ancient ruined city of Tamoachan, once the northernmost capital of the Olman empire. The civilization of the Olman people covered much of the southern continent centuries before current history began. Tamoachan is located in the savage lands south of the Olman Islands and southeast of the Holds of the Sea Princes. The climate is tropical, hot and very damp; it rains nearly every afternoon. Recently, a map of Tamoachan's exact location was discovered by privateers raiding off the coast of the Amedio Jungle and your specialist team has been hired by Arn Galtar, a powerful merchant, to investigate this potential lead to untold fortune and glory!
