Game Setup

Last time on DL3 Dragons of Hope: The heroes lead the refugees to the Hopeful Vale where resources are plentiful and Fizban decides to stay and watch over them. The heroes leave in the morning to find Skullcap, knowing the Dragonarmy is slowly but unceasingly claiming territory. Verminaard and Ember find them in the evening and once again harry them by burning Raistlin and Gilthanas. He then flies off with mocking laughter. They leave the Kharolis mountains and enter the Dergoth plains where they witness the spectral minions of dwarves fight each other in the mists. They finally arrive at Skullcap and Tasslehoff climbs the face to see what other entrances there are. The eyes lead to tunnels as does a massive area up top with a little water. Sturm joins Tas on the eye tunnel which leads to a metal framework that once connected to the lower staircase below, but is now destroyed. They descend to the bottom of the room to find a massive metal staircase descending into darkness in a large hall with many doors. They come across some Aghar who found themselves trapped. The heroes outside decide after not hearing from them to enter the mouth tunnel and explore the cavern. A group of kender come around and bother them before going to explore the eye tunnels at the heroes request.

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.
