[QUOTE="Daztur, post: 6060129, member: 55680"] [b]The Copperlode[/b] Hex 08.01 Recently Elwen the Snickersnee and a company of Browncloaks (briefly mentioned in 29.14.30), including a one-legged gnomish illusionist, a crowfolk ratter (26.20.07) and a masked deep dwarven machinist, returned from the Draugmere Peaks their hirelings bent beneath the weight of the loot that they carried. The lot of them are now drinking themselves blind at Farnsfall (11.03) and telling tall tales about the hidden dragon cave they looted and the vast mountain of copper pennies that they couldn't be bothered to take with them. This has roused the greed of some of the locals for, while they are not brave men, a backpack full of coppers is more money than they can make working for Baron Farnsfall. Hooks: -Is there really a huge heap of copper coins as Elwen claims? -Did they really kill a dragon? -Who are the Browncloaks exactly? How did Elwen round up such a mix of races? I'm imaging this one could work as a hook for a newbie party. D&D has a lot of examples of dungeons that were cleared out long ago and restocked or adventurers in which there's dead adventurers about but I don't think I've ever seen one in which the PCs adventure in a dungeon that was recently cleared by a higher level party. I think that would be a lot of fun, there'd be some random stuff left behind (like the mountain of coppers if it exists) all kinds of mayhem that adventurers always leave behind, a few overlooked secret doors and side rooms and a few survivors from the slaughter.
