Lair of the Whistling Talons
 |
Lair of the Whistling Talons is a fantasy role playing adventure designed for Game Masters (GM) needing running a game for a group of inexperienced/low level adventurers. Though usable with the more popular tabletop role playing games¸ this adventure was designed with home brewed game rules and small indie publication games in mind.
The adventure is set in an underground lair that connects to a series of cavernous rooms. Entrance and exit tunnels are provided in case the GM wishes to have this location connect to a greater cavern/dungeon structure. Inhabiting this subterranean area is a brigand gang known as the Whistling Talons. This outlaw group is a mixture of human bandits¸ orcs¸ and goblin kin. Thrown into the mix is a skilled rogue leader and a dabbler of the arcane.
BACKGROUND
Several moons ago a tattered brigand gang (known as the Whistling Talons) was traveling the merchant routes during a violent storm. In a desperate search for shelter they happened upon the entrance of cavern. Once inside the group made an unusual discovery... connected to one of the naturally formed rooms was an iron door leading to series of man made structures!
The gang explored this underground lair and discovered that it had once belonged to an adventuring party (known as the Company of the White Wyvern). It seems that these adventurers must have abandoned the place (or did they?)¸ leaving behind a small amount of loot¸ supplies¸ and furnishing. Thankful of such luck¸ the group of scoundrels quickly moved in and made the place their own.
Since the arrival of the Whistling Talons¸ raids on small merchant parties and other travelers have increased along the trails. Those lucky enough to survive describe a motley collection of human¸ orc¸ and goblin kin bandits that are sometimes accompanied by a weird acting spell invoker (Erzomus the Dabbler). These frequent raids are costing the surrounding communities a great deal of misery.
