Dire Spirits (Nyambe/D20)

When this malignant heart begins to assemble animal slaves intent on locating a new body for their evil master, a group of brave warriors must find and destroy it before it orchestrates KanUk's rebirth, and all of Nyambe-tanda falls beneath his claws!

Dire Spirits is a D20 System adventure for 1st-level characters. It provides an introduction to the Nyambe: African Adventures campaign setting, though it can also be used as a stand-alone scenario. It is recommended, but not necessary, that players own the Nyambe hardcover sourcebook (ISBN 1-58978-023-X).

This 48-page module includes:
* A map and description of the village of Mounchili, a typical community in the Empire of Mabwe, that can become the PCs' base in a larger campaign.
* Rules for generating the family compounds typical of Nyamban villages.
* Maps and descriptions of the ancient temple that contains KanUk's still-beating heart.
* Pregenerated PCs and stats for agogwe halfling warriors, wakyambi elf adepts, and Nghoi human commoners, to start any GM off right in an African Adventures setting.

New D20 material like the howling fern monstrous plant, rainforest zombies, the fearsome pseudo-lich template, rules for monkey traps and trip line and spikes traps, the wondrous linguist's staff, and the magical disease called wound rot.
