Description:

The last few weeks have seen increasing goblin activity near the village of Neganburg and reports of hostile giants in the vicinity. To make matters worse, the leader of the town militia, Lucas Stormspear, mysteriously vanished from his home last night! With the militia fully occupied by the goblin threat, the town lacks the resources to investigate Lucas’ disappearance. Can you find the missing town militia leader and bring stability to the area?

• Level 1 characters will advance to level 16 (higher with UB mod, though I have not tested it with UB). The storyline is linear, with a focus on combat.
• Be sure to actually read (using the game mechanics) any documents you find to advance the quests. On the PC, this is done by right-clicking the item and selecting "READ". You will need to know the language of the document (or use spells or magic items) to read the text. Magic items to assist reading languages are available throughout the campaign, but knowing Goblin, Giant, and Old Tirmarian languages will make things easier.
• The party will almost always have access to a rest point, but you may have to travel a little to get there. This is intentional to create tension for the player(s) — i.e., "should we keep going or go back to rest?" In some cases, there may be consequences to going back to rest (i.e. you should not assume you can go into a monster stronghold, kill half the inhabitants, then leave and come back as if nothing happened). Consequences are more likely if the monster boss is still alive.
• Many of the encounters will be challenging. Recommend using the ‘max hp per level’ setting. A party with at least one "tank" with high armor class and a spell caster capable of casting area denial spells like spike growth, wall of fire, etc. will be helpful. As in the original modules, the use of stealth to scout out areas and setup ambushes is a good strategy.
• I have playtested solo (PC) and co-op (PC-XBox). Please let me know if you find any bugs.
