Of Halflings and Hippos

Publisher's blurb: Bardeid, the Baron Alluvion, has lost his staff when his boat was attacked by a hippopotamus during a hunting expedition. This staff represents his ownership of the nearby delta, land he recently purchased, and without it, others may try to dispute his claim. One of those disputing Bardeid's claim is Yasheira, the chieftain and shaman leading the halflings native to the delta. In seeking the staff and, more importantly, the truth behind how and why it was lost, the party finds themselves in the center of a war. On one side is the rightful owner of the land. On the other are those who currently live there. This adventure provides a mix of investigation, wilderness survival and combat encounters in an exotic setting. It includes a new magic item, 2 new monsters and a number of new NPCs for DMs to use. An average group should be able to finish in one marathon session or 2-3 regular sessions, depending on in game decisions and pace of play.
