Game Setup
Last time on DL3 Dragons of Hope: The heroes debated the best strategy for retrieving the honey from the giant bees and Tasslehoff decided it was getting a bit boring and crawled into one of the caves. He saw a bee moving toward him, seemingly out of curiosity and Sturm raced into the cave, shoving Tass back and even kicking him out of the cave. This startled the bees which came out and attacked the group. The team then decided to enter a larger cavern after Gilthanas explored and found a massive hive therein. Once inside Tanis went out on his own followed by Sturm and they became separated from the main group. Then Tika and Goldmoon went to the front of the line with Tass, Flint, and Caramon. The casters used Web to stop many of the bees, but their poison proved to be incredibly powerful and Goldmoon, Tika, and Sturm fell. With more bees swarming them, and friends falling, will the heroes make it out of this hive alive?
I have two corrections to make from last session. First I accidentally applied one less damage to a bee which ended up killing goldmoon later, so she is up. And second, the bees in general, I have been having them make multiple stings, when the monster manual 2 clearly states they can make one sting only. This was overlooked and as a result damaged the heroes more than they should have been. To make up for the one sting then death of the bees, all the attacking bees will be removed from the map.
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.
