[Nadienne Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

A wonderful little introductory adventure to begin the career of many an aspiring adventurer. It also ties in well to The Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde...or just about any campaign really. I can't think of one area of the multiverse that wouldn't benefit from the addition of a Goblin-infested cave.

A great introductory adventure for D&D 3.5. Nothing too fancy story-wise - you fight a band of goblins terrorizing a small region - but well-executed, with opportunities for both combat and role-playing, as well as welcome explanations of important rules at major steps. As a bonus, this also fleshes out a small town as a potential base of operations for a new adventuring party. Recommended for D&D 3.5 players, and not likely hard to adapt to other editions as well.
