This abandoned keep is near, and to the southeast of, Quasqueton.

Note: This was my third attempt to build a dungeon scenario. It shows. Some of it was interesting, but putting Nomads, horse warriors, deep underground was dumb. Brigands of various fighter levels would have been a better idea.

This scenario started out easy and got difficult far too quickly.

My regular players didn’t all have characters that could survive this adventure, but a good group of the correct levels can survive… mostly.

There aren’t any missing room numbers, the lack of some numbers is due to the way it was drawn up.

Some maps have been fixed up a bit. They have also been added to the zip file on the downloads page. Dec, 2016.

“The Best for The Best !”

Lori is a female elf, and runs this with 2 elf guards.

alphabetized item/price list
Other items, use prices in the PHB.

Weapons and armor are marked with an ‘’*’‘ in the left-most column.

I forget where I got the info on some of these non-PHB weapons, probably from articles in Dragon or White Dwarf magazines. Its possible I got the info from one of the Judge’s Guild city-state modules.
