Game Setup

Last time on DL2 Dragons of Flame: The heroes have successfully blocked passage through Pax Tharkas by inadvertently triggering the gate-blocking mechanism. As they fled from the dragon battle between Dragon Highlord Verminaard riding his ancient red dragon mount Ember and the ancient red dragon Flamestrike, together with the 800+ refugees, they rushed into the wilderness to safety. The refugees plundered 40 wagons, each with food for 20 refugees for 2 days. They know they bought some time before the Red Dragonarmy that left Qualinesti can pass south through Pax Tharkas to find them, but they can’t rest on their laurels. The safety and survival of these refugees reside in the heroes’ hands and they have to find somewhere for them to go. But first, they need to catch up to the fleeing refugees!

About DL3 Dragons of Hope

The Dragonlance saga continues!

You have freed 800 refugees from the depths of Pax Tharkas, but now the armies of the dragon highmaster Verminaard pursue you through the wilderness. There is only one hope for you: Find the gates to Thorbardin, the ancient kingdom of the mountain dwarves, sealed long ago in the Dwarfgate War. The problem is that nobody knows where it is, or if it still exists!

Through the snow-covered Kharolis Mountains, across the Dergoth Plain, haunted by the ghosts of ancient armies, and to the incredible mountain known as Skullcap, you search for the answer that will save the refugees of Pax Tharkas—and yourself!

“Dragons of Hope” is the exciting third part of the First Book of Dragonlance, an epic quest through the world of Krynn, threatened by the domination of the inhuman draconians. This adventure can be played as part of a separate adventure, or as part of the great quest that spans the entire Dragonlance story.

An adventure for characters level 6th-8th. Written by Tracy Hickman.
