ADVENTURE OVERVIEW
 
A completely open world hex based wilderness adventure. The party is hired by a concerned merchant who is trying to locate his uncle-in-law who vanished whilst hunting for the mythical Sunblade Tower. 
 
FROM THE INTRODUCTION
 
A lover of adventure stories, the merchant insists on accompanying the party he hires, this being his first real excuse for a real world adventure. He’s new to adventuring so his presence might be more of a hindrance than a help, although he does have some talents.

This is a wilderness adventure. The party will travel freely through a haunted forest and bandit-infested roads before encountering a huge canyon, the only bridge across being securely held by trolls.
 
Through negotiation, trickery or force, the party will need to get past the trolls into the wildlands beyond. Or they might turn aside, seeking another route, and find themselves getting involved in a lovers’ tiff between an aeronaut and a harpy clan.
 
On the far side of the chasm is a large scrubland area, bordered to the north and south by rugged hills and mountains. A swamp hugs the northern mountains.

The party will need to negotiate with the local inhabitants to learn information that will hopefully lead them in the right direction. Journal notes, letters and items of equipment belonging to the uncle can be found if the party are diligent.
 
The adventure will see the party battling many foes, including gold-stealing spectres, trolls, harpies, lizardkin, giant bees and other savage wildlife.

With locations to explore, clues to uncover, NPCs to charm, creatures to fight, and an engaging story to adventure through, players of all persuasions will find something to enjoy as they track the uncle-in-law and inadvertently find themselves following in his footsteps and on the hunt for Sunblade Tower.

As this is a free-form adventure, it is entirely possible that the party will never succeed in locating the uncle-in-law or discovering what happened to him. And Sunblade Tower has been missing for years – who’s to say this hunt will be more successful?
