This 34 page adventure details a petrified forest and with a ten room temple at the center containing an ancient medusa. Now, Acantha is known as the Lady of Sorrows. Creatures that enter the depths of the forest risk being turned to stone by the latent magic and for each creature petrified, the forest grows further outward.

Little known, however, is that the curse also bound her life to the broken temple if she strays from it for too long, she grows weak and begins to die.In the millenia since she was cursed, her presence has imbued the surrounding forest with its own petrifying magic. Rather than take pity on Acantha, her goddess cursed her with the powers she is now feared for: her petrifying gaze and the mass of writhing snakes that protrude from her head. One fateful evening a rival god appeared and wrought destruction on the temple.
