UPPER MAUSOLEUM ENCOUNTERS
Encounter 1
As the players descend the stairs read:
A narrow staircase descends into a wider landing below leading to a wider chamber that is lit by eerie green flickering light...Lit torches illuminate this chamber. From the landing you stand upon you can see a room that looks designed to process corpses for burial. Near the entrance is the corpse of a human woman, crumpled and broken. A statue of a winged celestial being overlooks the scene from its pedistal at the far end of the chamber. Several tables stand against the other walls and four of them have corpses on them. Farther into the the chamber is a pile of crushed stone where something toppled and crushed another creature. The chamber appears to be 'L' shaped and continues on to the east at the north end.
The agency expresses particular concern about the increase in small and medium-sized weather events, which it says affect great numbers of people, but do not attract as much international aid as large, well-publicised natural disasters.
The report argues that climate change is responsible for the growing number of weather-related disasters - more intense rain, combined with frequent droughts, make damaging floods much more likely.
"You get this spiral downwards of vulnerability and destitution", said John McGrath of Oxfam.
The increasing number of weather events has been accompanied by large global population increases, and Oxfam says this means more people are being forced to live in areas which are vulnerable to the effects of the weather changes.
