Thieves in the Forest
An Introductory Adventure for 1st-Level Characters
Only True Heroes Can Find Honor Among Thieves ...
They lurk in the Ralferst Forest, striking out at all who pass through, robbing traders, assaulting farmers, even killing with impunity. Working from a secret base deep in the forest, a band of thieves has struck fear into the heart of Brandon's Bridge, the little village at the crossing of the Azure River. But now a band of heroes has come, seeking glory and adventure - heroes that might just be up to the challenge of driving away the Thieves in the Forest.
Thieves in the Forest is a beginner-friendly, introductory OGL adventure. It features:
- A wilderness adventure segment featuring the Ralferst Forest, a dense wood crisscrossed with paths and fraught with perils. The nature of the forest and paths makes it easy for less experienced players and GMs to deal with this non-dungeon environment.
- A double-sided, fold-out poster map (17" x 22") of the thieves' hideout - an ancient ruined temple - suitable for tabletop use with miniatures or counters, for easier handling of tactical combat.
- Maps created in Profantasy Software's Campaign Cartographer 2, and available for download on the Atlas Games website (www.atlas-games.com). GMs can customize and manipulate these maps themelves, if they own CC2, and integrate them into their own game worlds.
