![]() |
Mysterious and feared¸ the mages of Iron Fang Keep have broken their centuries long silence in morbid fashion. Six members of the House of the Black Hand¸ and the niece of High Blade Drakehorn¸ all murdered with shadow magic. But¸ why? Not even¸ under magical questioning¸ did the murderer¸ known as the Mulmaster Shadow¸ reveal the reasons behind his actions. The Cloaks and Banites are now champing for revenge. However¸ on the eve of a joint assault against Ironfang Keep¸ they have learned that its inner defenses could utterly decimate their forces. The murderous mage has made a deal in exchange for his life. He will escort a small group to disable the defensive wards. Will the adventurers disable the wards before the mages are able to mount a defense and rout the forces attempting to breach their keep? A four-hour adventure for levels 5-10 (optimized for 9).
