Description:

Used Originals (NOT PDF Reprints)

The adventure begins with a simple premise: For months, marauding hill giants and other giant-kin have been causing death and destruction in the lands of men. A group of powerful adventurers is assembled and tasked with delivering a harsh blow to the giants' chief, Nosnra, and his clan. They are also ordered to investigate the rumors of a more sinister power orchestrating the giant alliances. The player characters (PCs) are given horses, standard adventuring equipment, and a map showing the location of Nosnra's steading—a massive timber fortress in the mountains. The adventure is set up to encourage creative problem-solving and infiltration over a brute-force approach, as the giants are numerous and formidable. The Upper Level: The players must infiltrate the wooden fortress, which contains the giants' great hall, barracks, and common rooms. Chief Nosnra and his clan are usually found feasting, providing a potential opening for a bold attack or infiltration. The area is filled with hill giants, ogres, and their servants. The Dungeon Level: Beneath the fortress lies a dungeon with slave quarters, torture chambers, and natural caverns populated by bugbears, troglodytes, and other monsters. The bulk of the treasure is hidden here.
