The eagerly awaited adventure has arrived - the first Act of the <em>Holdenshire Chronicles</em>! 41 pages of sandboxy goodness! The <em>Holdenshire Chronicles</em> takes EN Publishing’s classic adventure <em>To Slay a Dragon</em> and revamps it for a new generation of gamers. Using fifth edition rules, we hearken back to the 1980s and embark on an adventure which is sure to remind you of RPG modules and boxed sets long past! This trilogy of adventures leads an adventuring party from the town of Hengistbury on a journey across the land to challenge a red dragon who dwells in a volcano lair known as Skull Mountain. This first act begins with the characters in the town of Hengistbury, detailed previously in the <em>Primer</em> (EN5ider #56). There, they begin their progression as heroes, and learn all about the dragon Cirothe’s predations on the local area. As they advance in expertise and experience, the idea of tracking the dragon to her lair and ending her threat forever may become a more realistic prospect. Twelve mini-adventures make up this 41-page sandbox Act; these can be undertaken in any order, although some may be more difficult than others.</p><p>[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]</p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]110324[/ATTACH]</p><p><em></em></p><p><em></em></p><p><em>Jack of the Wierwood.</em> Children are being lured into the Weirwood by fauns under the control of Spring-Heeled Jack, who intends to perform a ritual to bring a blight across the county.</p><p></p><p><em>The Hound of Fogmoor. </em> A werewolf dwells on the Fogmoor, primarily preying on lizardfolk, but is moving closer and closer to human populated areas.</p><p></p><p><em>Troll Under the Bridge.</em> A troll lives under a bridge near Thornbury and is attacking travelers.
