ed for maximum entertainment. and top-quality ADBD

It was not designed to be scored; it is
merely a framework within which the players dem-
onstrate their role playing abilities
.
It is ideal for
inclusion in an
ADBD
game world of your own
.
We recommend you use the given characters. but
almost any character of the given level can prosper
here-if the player hasenough wit and courage to meet
the challenges
.
Keep a stout heart and keen mind. and
may you make all your saving throws!

The players may take as long as necessary
to
review their charactersand compare equipment, spells,
andsoforth,
butthereisatimelimittotheevent.Atthe
end of the time allowed, have the players fill out their
evaluation sheets while you fill yours. Then collect the
sheets and return them to the Tournament Director.
The winners' names will be posted. Before the play
begins, the players may use the ADBD Dungeon
Masters Guide to check details
on
magical items
possessed by their characters. During the game,
however, the players may only use the ADBD Players
Handbook. Miniature figures, hex sheets, and
so

are also permitted and often helpful. Items not permitted
are the ADBD DM Guide, ADBD Monster Manual, and
reference works other than the ADBD Players
Handbook.

stand thegeneral flow and background, you should be
able to run any part without many problems. And relax

whether you're slower, faster, better, or worse than the
other DMs, and regardless of how far the group
actuallygets. These adventures area framework within
which the players will demonstrate their ability.

not
a
race; this is a role playing game.

you
have any problems understanding anything in this
adventure, please ask the Tournament Director,
preferably during a Briefing or Debriefing session.
