Game Setup
Last time on DL3 Dragons of Hope: The heroes fought off the invisible stalker and retreated to an old defunct room where they rested to allow the casters to regain their spells. Curious about the scorch marks on the walls and the dwarven statue seemingly holding up the ceiling, they eventually left to the adjacent room which was trapped in a couple of ways. First, the western half of the room had anti gravity forcing passersby to fall to the ceiling. The eastern half of the room woke the stone golem through their movement. They eventually passed the room but not without taking some serious losses with three heroes unconscious. They noted an eastern entrance, and an alcove with a statue of one of Nuitari’s seven faces, Knowledge in it. Opposite to the north were double doors with keyholes. Raistlin used the keys they found in the shifting corridors to open them and they revealed two more doors to the north and two more statues of Nuiotari’s faces to the left and right. He noted keyholes in each and unlocked them all. This repeated three times before they opened into the Chambers of Fistandantilus.

It did not speak to them, and Raistlin slowly walked out of the room…
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.
About Advanced Dungeons & Dragons
An updated version of D&D was released between 1977 and 1979 as Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D). The game rules were reorganized and re-codified across three hardcover rulebooks, compiled by Gary Gygax, incorporating the original D&D rules and many additions and revisions from supplements and magazine articles. The three core rulebooks are the Monster Manual (1977), the Player’s Handbook (1978), and the Dungeon Master’s Guide (1979).
