The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth
''The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth'' is an adventure module for the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' fantasy role-playing game. It was written by Gary Gygax and published by TSR in 1982 for the first edition ''Advanced Dungeons & Dragons'' (''AD&D'') rules. The 64-page adventure bears the code "S4" ("S" for "special") and is set in the Greyhawk campaign setting. It is divided into two parts, a 32-page adventure, and a 32-page booklet of monsters and magic items. The plot involves the player characters investigating rumors of lost treasure. After traversing a wilderness and two levels of dungeons, the players face Drelzna, the vampiric daughter of long-deceased archmage Iggwilv.
''The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth'' was published in 1982 and is a revised and expanded version of ''The Lost Caverns of Tsojconth'', a tournament adventure that Gygax wrote for 1976 WinterCon V gaming convention. Gygax expanded the tournament adventure by adding a wilderness area, with part of it based on earlier work by Rob Kuntz. Work on the adventure delayed the completion of ''The Temple of Elemental Evil'', another Gygax adventure. ''The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth'' was included in the 1987 supermodule ''Realms of Horror'', and updated for v3.5 in an online edition in 2007. It was well received by critics, ranked the 22nd greatest ''Dungeons & Dragons'' adventure of all time by ''Dungeon'' magazine in 2004. A ''White Dwarf'' reviewer gave the adventure 9/10, noting its difficulty and rewards of powerful magic. It is part of a series along with ''S1: Tomb of Horrors'', ''S2: White Plume Mountain'', ''S3: Expedition to the Barrier Peaks''. It also has a loosely connected sequel: ''The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun''.〔
==Plot summary==
The introduction, with instructions that the Dungeon Master read it aloud to the players, outlines that there is a treasure in the Yatil Mountains south of the Greyhawk realm of Perrenland. The player characters must investigate rumors of a lost treasure that scores of adventurers have perished attempting to find.〔 The treasure is a remnant of the wealth amassed by the archmage Iggwilv,〔 former ruler of Perrenland, prior to her presumed death at the hands of the demon Graz'zt, whom she had "imprisoned and forced into servitude." The players must first traverse a wilderness area with 20 numbered encounters before arriving at the caverns. The encounters have names such as "Border Patrol" (encounter 1) and "Hill Giants" (encounter 10). After the wilderness are two lettered encounters: the "Gnome Vale", which includes a map for their lair, and "The Craggy Dells", where humans and orcs are capturing hippogriffs to sell.
Next, the player characters reach the caverns. They consist of the "Lesser Caverns" with 22 encounters, and the "Greater Caverns" with 20 encounters, each with its own map. The lesser caverns include encounters such as "Stinking Cave" (encounter 5) which contains four trolls and "Underground Lake" (encounter 14). The greater caverns include encounters such as "Uneven-Floored Cavern" (encounter 5) where the player characters face an umber hulk and "Canyon of Centaurs" (encounter 9). The 20th and final encounter is titled "The Inner Sphere". Here, a "woman sleeps on an alabaster slab." She is "armored from toe to neck in gold chased plate mail."〔 The woman is actually Drelzna, a fighter/vampire and the daughter of Iggwilv. After defeating Drelzna, the players are rewarded with treasure, and the adventure ends.
