[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 4525614, member: 3586"] Oh, I remember when I first tried to run B2... yeah, it's tricky to run the Keep itself without preparation. My advice to you is: Ignore the Keep at first. Tell the players that they've taken rooms at the Traveller's Inn, and on the advice of the locals, they've travelled to just outside the Caves of Chaos. This will get them right into the fun part of the game - the exploration and combat! (Running the Keep can be very fun, but you need experience first). The Caves have a number of entrances. Describe the two closest to the players (they enter from the open end of the canyon, so that will give them a cave to the left and a cave to the right - leading to goblins and kobolds, IIRC). As they enter the cave, ask for a [i]marching order[/i] - who is in front, who is behind. Describe the darkness of the caves, and the monsters and items they see. Be aware the party may need to flee. Have fun! Let us know if you need further advice. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
