Hundreds of years ago, the rocky hills west of the Nentir River were a vast battleground. Bugbear and ogre warriors fought brutal wars of expansion, each kingdom vying for the rule over the other. Those hills became their tombs, where vast catacombs were carved out for the bravest of warriors and fiercest of kings. Among those kings was Randolf* the Nose-Picker, an enormous hobgoblin. Interred in the massive Storm Tower crypt, King Randolf was said to have amassed a great fortune.

Now, the wars are long-ended. The rocky hills dotted with tombs the only reminder of them. Some say the local goblin tribes are organizing once again. Rumors of grave-robbers seeking wealth to back armies spread through the villages. If the goblins were to establish a base of operations, the peace of the valley could be shattered once more.

Storm Tower’s name was derived from the deadly hail and lightning storms that plague the area. So bad are these storms, that all people native to the area are familiar with the concept of “storm-peace” -- an automatic truce exists between all who seek shelter from the storms. Travelers along the King’s Road can see the ruins of the Storm Tower from the road. As a result, it is a frequent stop over when clouds begin to darken the skies.

Travelers, grave-robbers, adventure-seekers, and those sent by local mayors to check out rumors of goblin uprisings are all likely to head to the Storm Tower. Who will be there when you arrive?

This House Game is designed for D&D Essentials system. You may bring your own character based on Heroes of the Forgotten Realms or Heroes of the Fallen Lands, or using the DDI Character Builder for Essentials characters. I will also have several pre-generated characters available. Each session is designed to be stand-alone and episodic. You are welcome to come to every session, keeping the same character, reaping the rewards of experience, without the obligation of long-term commitment.

I will be using maps and minis, so if you have one that represents your character, bring it along! If you need assistance creating a character, let me know. I’ll be happy to work with you to get it the way you want.
