Big Trouble in Little Glantri ( Basic D&D)
It has been years since the once thriving city of Quagmire sank into the sea. The best minds in the field of theoretical magic at the University of Glantri were determined to find out why and restore the city to its former glory.
A research station was constructed and a team of experts was sent to work on the problem. The project was showing great progress when all communication from the research site ended abruptly.
The university sent out a call for experienced explorers to accompany a platoon of Glantri expeditionary force marines and a few specialists to investigate the facility. Your mission: investigate the research facility and discover why communications have ceased.
The PC’s:
This kind of job is exactly what you needed after that nasty bit of personal business in Specularum. A cushy stint babysitting some marines while they look for some dimwitted researchers and getting flown in by airship too! The pay offered seemed rather generous to boot, so why is that little voice in the back of your mind screaming at you?

In order to avoid having to read excessive setup material during valuable game time I have decided to outline the adventure opening here for all to read so we can start playing right away.
Your journey from Glantri City aboard the Sky Countess was relaxing and uneventful for the first few days. The marines and ship crew were friendly and good solid company on the trip. As your vessel approached the Serpent Peninsula a dark cloud could be seen in the vicinity of your destination. Thundershowers are common in the area this time of year and the ship’s crew appeared unconcerned. Being experienced adventurers, you knew that nearly everything was worthy of at least a little concern……
As the ship moved in closer to the darkness, some purplish-green lights could be detected further inside the clouded area. Your inner concern was soon confirmed by immediate threat. Suddenly, some sort of large flying creatures struck the Sky Countess repeatedly! Getting only a brief glimpse of the monstrosities that tore into the ship you could swear that they looked like flying gorillas with the heads of some demonic lizard. In a few moments the damaged ship came crashing to the ground and everything went black…..
You awaken in the dark and thoroughly soaked. From the smell of things , you are in a swamp. You sense people nearby and hear no sounds of combat. Whatever brought down your ship is gone, at least for the moment. Looking around ,your party is among only a handful of people to survive the crash. The others are:
Sgt. Alphonso Pone of the Glantri marines.
Cpl. Brad Huxton of the Glantri marines.
Pvt. Drew Frost of the Glantri marines.
Pvt. Alexi Vasquez of the Glantri marines.
Figgy Newton, a half-goblin researcher from Glantri University. She insists everyone just call her “Newt”.
Karl Burkett, a representative of the Bursar’s office from Glantri University.
