This large room isfilled with sup-

plies of various kinds. You see several

ropes, sacks, and torches at one end of

the room. Across from the door are

This appears to be a sitting room.

There are three chairs against each wall

large rug occupies the center ofthefloor.

way into this room-it is quite clean

compared to the rest of the keep. The

woodcarving of a peacdul pastoral

Room 1 1 : Guard Room (page 1 I)

The doors to this room have been bat-

tered, and their locks are broken. The

inside of the room is awesome to be-

hold. At thefar end ofthe room, a rich-

ly dressed hobgoblin sits in a finely

carved chair. Around the chair are

chests, bags, piles of coins, and other

valuables. The hobgoblin stands and

barks a command in its language. Two

goblins with bowsjump upfrom their

hiding places behind the treasurkwhile

goblins and wolves advance on you

from the sides ofthe room. It looks like

you are infor a tough battle.

This area is a kitchen. There is a

large fireplace at the south end of the

room, and wind howls mournfully

from the chimney. A large table, obvi-

ously usedforfood preparation, sits in

the middle of the room. Along the east

wall is a set of cupboards and shelves,

and before them dishes, pans, and serv-

ing utensils are scattered. A number of

spider webs are visible in the corners.

North of the cupboards are some

large piles of moldering food. You see

several rats crawling among thefood.

Loom 3: Guest Room

This large room was once richly dec-

orated with tapestries and fine furni-

ture, but it is now ruined. Shreds of

tapestries hangfrom the walls, a pile of

furs and trash sits in one corner, and a

desk and table have been smashed and

lie piled next to thefireplace in another

corner. The reason for the room’s poor

condition becomes apparent as you no-

tice theglowing red eyes ofseveralgob-

1 ntlzobuct I on

Name of Monster (number encountered): AC (armor

class); HD (hit dice); hp (hit points); MV (movement

rate); #AT (number of attacks); THACO (see below);

Dmg (damage inflicted per attack); Save as (what the

monster’s saving throw is based on); ML (morale rat-

ing); AL (alignment); XP (experience reward for de-

feating the monster); Treasure (how much treasure the

monster has).

This adventure is designed for four to six characters of

2nd or 3rd level. If there are more than six players or if

the characters are of higher levels, the Dungeon Master

(DM) should make some of the encounters more difficult.

He or she can do this by increasing the number of mon-

sters encountered; by increasing a monster’s hit dice, hit

points, and/or the amount of damage inflicted by its at-

tack; or by lowering a monster’s armor class, which will

make the monster harder to hit.

Note that boxed text should be read aloud to the play-

ers.

One of the entries, THACO, may be new to beginning

players and DMs. It stands for “To Hit Armor Class 0.”

To determine the roll a monster needs to hit a character

with a specific armor class, simply subtract the target’s

AC from the monster’s THACO number. Thus, if a mon-

ster’s THACO is 19 and its target is AC 3, the monster

needs to roll a 16 or better to hit the character.

What’s Needed to Play?

Assault on Raven’s Ruin is the third in a series of adventures

for the new DUNGEONS & DRAGONS@Game. It is a

self-contained product that does not require the DM to

purchase the first modules in the series, and it does not

leave any loose ends dangling to be tied up by the next

module. Though the adventure may be located in the ar-

ea of Thunder Rift, which will be described in an upcom-

ing product, the DM may adapt it easily to any setting.

The only things needed to play this module are the D&D@

Game, a few friends, some paper and pencils, and a thirst

for adventure!

Wandering Monsters

From time to time, the DM may wish to introduce a wan-

dering monster into the game. There is no strict rule in

this adventure about when such encounters should occur.

A good rule of thumb, however, is to use them when the

game is slowing down or if the players’ party is too strong

for the adventure. Wandering monster encounters can al-

so force the players to move on if they seem to be spend-

ing too much time in an area that isn’t important to the

adventure as a whole.

Use the following table for generating random wander-

ing monster encounters.

Adventure Overview

Years ago, a master thief called Raven retired near the

small village of Kleine. He built an underground keep in

the Burning Hills, using the labor of the goblins that lived

there. Raven drove the humanoids away after they com-

pleted the keep, and he settled in. About two years ago,

Raven disappeared, and he is now presumed dead.

Recently, the goblins returned to the keep, known now

as Raven’s Ruin. They use it as a headquarters and have

begun harassing travelers and raiding local farms. A dar-

ing raid took place just a few days ago, during which the

goblins snuck into Kleine and stole a magical scepter that

was used in court proceedings. The player characters

(PCs) are asked to go to Raven’s Ruin and retrieve the

scepter, find out who or what is organizing the human-

oids, and put an end to the raids.
