Bronze Shrine - Essentials Kit: Sleeping Dragon's Wake

Bronze Shrine. "Bronze Shrine" is balanced for characters of 10th level, though characters of 9th level can survive this quest if they are cautious and rest between encounters. Characters of any level that attempt to fight Lhammaruntosz to the death will likely meet their demise.

Arrival When the characters can see the outside of the shrine, read the following boxed text aloud: The sea splashes on the bottom of a rocky cliff carved to look like a 60-foot-tall dragon with a ribbed and fluted crest around its head.
