The Obsidian Sands of Syncrates is an OSRIC(tm) module designed for 6-10 adventurers of levels 4-8. It was the tournament adventure at GenCon Indy 2011.

Returning from a successful trading voyage to faraway lands, the party's ship is stranded in the doldrums. After two days without any wind, the sky darkens and small particles of black ash fall like a dark snow. The party's two native guide-translators panic and begin wildly yelling, quickly whipping themselves into a fury of fear. Faster than the group can react, the two guides pull their small knives and stab themselves in the chest repeatedly as they jump over the side of the ship. Their dark-skinned bodies unnaturally sink down into the depths below the glass-like surface of the still sea as, one by one, each party member feels an irresistible sleep suddenly come upon them.

When the party awakes, they find themselves in what appears to be a giant coliseum, their seaworthy boat stranded upon the obsidian sands that line the floor of the great arena. What foul sorcery has sent you here and how will you return to your world?
