1-6 Players  |  Ages 12+

This adventure is inspired by the classic module B1: In Search of the Unknown. It takes the central conceit of the adventure: a pair of adventurers in years past repel an invasion from a mysterious army and in the aftermath settle down to found a keep in the wilderness only to disappear at some point in the recent past apparently meeting their end against their former foes.

This module written for a party of 3-6 characters levels 1-3 takes that idea and expands on it refining the dungeon adding a starting town and a hinted-at aboveground portion and weaves the original one-shot adventure into the first part of an adventure path designed to take the characters from levels 1 to 10 or higher.

It is written and statted for Old School Essentials Shadowdark and Bree-YARC but can be easily adapted to any similar old-school system. It includes:

• The starting town of Cedars Ford which will serve as a the players base for the adventure. Includes rumors potential hirelings and plot hooks.
• Wilderness encounters and locations between town and dungeon.
• An aboveground portion of the dungeon based upon a single illustration of a tower in the original module.
• Two levels of the dungeon based upon and drawing inspiration from the original but with a reworked layout.
• Three major factions within the dungeon for the party to interact with.
• An Appendix with weather matrix treasures and a general timeline of how the adventure should play out.
