Hellspike Prison is the second in the "Fantastic Adventure" series of small booklet-sized combat-oriented adventure modules produced by WotC. The 16-page booklet contains the text of the adventure and two separate 12" x 17" double-sided maps showing Hellspike Prison, Temple of the Prismatic Flame, Magma Keep and Mushroom Cavern. In the adventure, designed for four
D&D characters of 9th level, the
player characters, while searching for kidnapped villagers, encounter the servants of Kazarzikal, an evil devil who intends to use his prisoners to summon other devils. With these new allies, the devil plans to confront the beholder who guards the only means of accessing the broken fragment of the Hellspike in order to restore it and open a portal to the infernal planes. The adventurers must get to the Hellspike before him and destroy it before Kazarzikal can fully activate it. In 2005, WotC released
Fane of the Drow, the first in a series of small 16-page combat-oriented adventures titled
Fantastic Locations that were produced to promote WotC's line of
Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures. The second adventure was
