My group fought the final battle of the module and now I have to consider what I will have them do next since the Spectre of Sorrows will not be out very soon. I am considering sending them up to the ruins of Losarcum, especially since one of my PCs is a Wizard 6/WoHS 1 (white robe). My idea is I'll send them up to the ruins and have them find an old spellbook that was never of interest to anyone (including Malys). However, it was the spellbook of someone powerful (I will pull them from the Towers of High Sorcery book) with spells that have since been lost to the Conclave (it has "named" spells in it, etc...). Does anyone else have any similar plans?

The way I'll probably do it is this:

There are pockets of chaos magic all around, and the characters hit one transporting them back in time, returning them once the adventure is complete.

Wow. Good stuff. Mind if I use that?

I think whatever anyone posts on here is fair game, so go ahead.

Okay, so you are suggesting I have them teleported back in time to when the tower was standing and functional? Is there a published adventure set in Losarcum already written? Or do I write my next part of the adventure there, in the past? I like the idea!

There is an adventure in WOTL that was written by Tracy Hickman that takes places there. Have you run you players through the Anvil of Time? The players are just zipped into this place and they travel to different times in the same location. Its printed in the Best of Tales vol. 2. If you run that followed by the adventure in WOTL back to back it could see that they got lost in time/space on the way to the present.

The novel Kendermore has characters entering the ruins of the tower. Unlike Daltigoth and Istar, it seems the ruins of Losarcum are still pretty much upright.

That's the Lyceum, not the Tower of Losarcum, lorac.

My bad. You could still do the time thing though . When you look at these words sometimes they look close enough that when your not paying attention...

Phew! I thought I had missed something there! Once I realised where the ruins of Losarcum were, I vaguely remembered "The Ruins" mentioned in "Kendermore" and that they were marked on the world map from my 2nd Edition Tales of the Lance Boxed Set. I *do* own the issue of Dungeon with Anvil of Time in it. It's a possibility I could run that instead, but I'm more inclined towards the taking them back in time to the intact Tower part! I'm currently contemplating sending them back to about a week or maybe even a month before the Tower is destroyed. My Wizard PC could rescue all sorts of magical knowledge that was lost to time and perhaps pick up the Dragon Orb from the Tower. That was one of the orbs assumed lost in the destruction of the Towers of Losarcum and Daltigoth. Now I just have to decide what my Monk of Majere and my Cleric of Kiri-Jolith should need to do...besides trying not to be caught by the Kingpriest's men!
