When you cast this spell, any creature within the area feels and acts as
if time has sped up for them. For every round that passes outside the range
of the spell, the creatures inside experience 4 rounds. The creatures can

They must also eat, rest, and so forth and four times the rate. A creature
that enters the range of the spell while it is in progress experiences the

higher, you can increase the duration of the illusion. For each level above
5th, the duration triples so that using a 9th level spell slot, the duration is
81 hours.

Don’t go down the well!

Rappan Athuk, the legendary Dungeon of Graves, is a subterranean network of horror
stretching down into the darkest depths of the world. Only the cleverest and most resilient
of adventurers will survive to confront the enemy at the journey’s end – for Orcus, the
legendary Prince of the Undead, makes Rappan Athuk his lair. If your party has the skills,
fortitude, and judgement necessary to meet him, then Frog God Games invites you to the
legendary halls of Rappan Athuk.

Rappan Athuk is reborn for Fifth Edition and ready for you to explore! First released
by Necromancer Games in late 2000, this tabletop classic has been thwarting the brave and
humbling the strong for almost two decades. Weighing in at over 660 pages, Rappan Athuk
for Fifth Edition has enough adventure to advance characters from 1st to 20th level across over
100 mapped locations including:

• 56 dungeon levels
• 20 levels spread among satellite dungeons
• 22 wilderness areas which include outdoor, castle and lair locations begging to be

explored.
• Plus the Village of Zelkor’s Ferry! A starting point for the earnest, and a refuge for the

weary, expeditions into Rappan Athuk.

With decades of playtesting and use in campaigns around the globe, Rappan Athuk can
be the foundation for a long-term Fifth Edition campaign or serve as a challenge for any
character level when you need a place for quick side-trek adventures!
