From publisher blurb: This mission is suitable for a party of 4 to 5 players in the level range of 1 to 4. There are parts that are more dangerous than others, foes that are deadlier than others, so your players will need to navigate the best course forward. A few miles north of Mt. Arkhaz, small and mostly independent farms are being invaded at night and valuable resources are being depleted as winter draws ever closer. Try as they might, the neighboring farmers have found no viable solution themselves. In response, the farmers have pooled their resources together and having as of yet been unable to find ‘skilled’ help from passing travelers, have finally sought aid from nearby Thistledown. In times of relative calm, Aramil Gondol might have traveled personally to the farms with a host to sort out the mess but such would be impossible currently as Thistledown is overrun with issues. The locals of Ravensgrove have had little luck in recruiting someone to help them and believe that the bustling urban sprawl of Thistledown is far more likely to attract adventurers and so a local courier has been tasked with finding a group of willing individuals to take on this task. The courier can be placed on the road near the town, in the town itself or wherever it is your players might begin their adventure.
