Plot
Backstory: You came to Brughlan 2 years ago seeking fame and fortune, but unfortunately found only taverns and tankards instead. You befriend one of the prominent town mages (Kelson Aggrovel) who seems to be of like habits and spend the two years drinking and bragging of exploits never accomplished. You�ve paid your rent and ale by doing odd jobs here and there, some on the books, others�
Start of module: Brughlan
Exploreable town with goal of meeting Kelson Aggrovel at the Hydra�s Maw
One night at the Hydra�s Maw (TAVERN:BRUGHLAN)
Kelson Aggrovel tells you that he just saw Marcus Shandisha (one of the town�s lesser merchants) hobbling into town claiming he was just robbed by a few kobolds. He�s offering a reward to get his lost stock back. He said he saw them go into the old bear cave just outside of town and that there was at least 10. Kelson tells you he�d go look, but he doesn�t want to deal with the bears, which are probably more real than the kobolds. �Old Marcus probably just made a bad deal that�s all�. Anyways, he has a date with an aspiring sorceress and he�s going to take her out to the waterfront for the evening. You decide that for once, you�re going to get out there and do something worth bragging about and go after those kobolds.
Bear Cave:
Small cave with kobolds and merchant loot
You arrive at the bear cave and spot 2 kobolds outside. They confront you as you approach and tell you not to come any closer. If you come closer, they attack. Once inside, a lone kobold is there, the leader of the group. The rest of his entourage are scattered around dead as well as the body of one dead brown bear. You can talk him into giving you back the loot or just kill him. Gather up the loot and back to town to brag.
Return to Brughlan:
Town under siege, PC must help out with battles
You come home from your glorious victory and find your hometown has been attacked by a band of seemingly random humanoids and monsters. They are made up of mostly goblins and kobolds with a few bandits and a half-orc leader. You fight your way through them to the leader of the town guard (Garold Griffonwing) who is dueling the half-orc leader. Once dead (half-orc), Garold informs you that every magic user in town was attacked almost simultaneously and now lies dead. He asks you where Kelson is and you say on a trip to the waterfront with a sorceress. He tells you thatthey are in immediate danger and you must head there immediately. If you ask for help, he tells you he would help you but there are too many wounded around and maybe more invaders lurking about.
The Waterfront:
Small waterfront area
You enter the waterfront area and are confronted immediately by 3 goblins. They ask you why you left your friends to die. You fight through them and eventually come upon the beach area where a bugbear stands over the bodies of you friend and the sorceress. As you approach you hear the bugbear taunting Kelson as he dies. After you beat the bugbear, Kelson tells you of the nicest man in orange robes with the most beautiful glowing rod he�s ever seen, one worthy of kings. He was surrounded by bugbears and goblins and all manners of creatures. The man offered him a chance at kingdoms and riches and promised him fame and glory. He didn�t really know why, but he felt it�d be wrong to join this man. That�s when he felt a sharp pain from behind and� Kelson dies mid sentence.
And thus your quest begins�
I have alot more already planned, things are much more complicated than they seem, and I'm looking for some general feedback.
