So, you start next week at the first entry point of the Keep. As you entered you were assaulted by a swarm of rats. You ended here with this rat swarm still a threat and wondering whether another entrance should be chosen. Either way the Keep's Borderland's await you to explore and map for 75 gp's per person (with 100 gp's per person offered for complete exploration).
On another note, the group was informed about a gifted ability or power that each has. Exciting news and what shall that ability be for each of you!?
Xandor Speaks: Do we feel confident moving forward in the these tunnels? We should be prepared for the rats to return at some point... perhaps their running deeper in the tunnels caught the attention of something else. at any rate we should be readied and have some sort of plan.
The Keep started our DnD journey 40 years ago. I don’t remember much outside of the cover art. Who would have thought a game we played back in 80/81 would be played again (4) decades later! I’m going to take it in and enjoy the ride.
Xandor Speaks: We are fortunate that we have been able to make the rat swarm smaller; truth be told I was unsure if the illusion would have be successful. It was but unfortunately it divided the swarm in half ...part went deeper into the tunnels and the other half outside of the tunnels. The task before us will make us fast difficult challenges that will require us to work together and use our skills and abilities in creative ways in order to ensure our success moving forward.
DM Speaks:
I listen to player requests. I heard some asking and having interest in playing some old modules, so this is the one I picked. There may be more but for now this is the one on your plate. There is literally no module older or more nostalgic than the Keep on the Borderlands. As I said at the game I am going to try and play this as written. I may have to modify some things just to not make it seem so outlandishly ridiculous but, in the end, you will be playing it as written!
The payment does sound ludicrous but as low-level adventurers (regardless of your stature as the Gifted) the pay is not too bad depending on how long this takes. If it takes a week then great pay. Longer than that your employer is getting a good deal!
I wonder how long this mission will take and what our hourly wage is..75gp, or 100 gp divided by how many days
We hope we exceed minimum wage..lol. That is the deal with low level missions of course
I am very happy to be able to revisit this place. I think this adventure taps into all our feelings of nostalgia and our origins as gamers...Thanks John!
Very exciting game, last night. Yes this gifted speical power. What could it be . Sounds very awesome. This adventure we are going on, sounds like we are going to have a blast. This is module, I may have played once over 35 years ago. If I even played it. I seriously dont remember it. Now I believe start our new groups adventuring path. This is our chance to start making a name for ourselves within the world. Always a very exciting thing, because you never know where it will lead us.
