HotDC To Get It's First Test

I've been working on the basic charts for combat, saving throws, clerics & wizard spells, rogue's skills and cleric's turning ability, and I think it's time to run the first test. It will not be a huge adventure, perhaps a half dozen rooms or so. At the moment, the plan is to run a warrior, a rogue, a wizard and a cleric, all Level 0 and all human, through part of what will be a massive dungeon underneath the warrior training school/weapons merhant building.

It seems the mayor of the city, a 7th level (Rogue Hero) named Vanz, had a valuable green emerald gem stolen from his home by a group of raiding Goblins. They escaped into the vast dungeons underneath the training school. The head master of the school and old adventuring companion of Vanz, a 7th level (Warrior Hero) named Fytertu has decided to comission a new group of adventures to try to recover the emerald, which is valued at 5000 gps and is a valuable family heirloom of Vanz' family.

Vanz, Fytertu and their Elven comrade Tyranius a 7th level (Wizard Hero) were brave adventures who accomplished much in their younger days before winning favor with the king to start the mountain town of Gold Stone. In just a ten year span, the town has become quite prosperous. The trio still adventure, but mainly just when the town is in need. This is where the four new recuits come in.

It is believed that though the dungeon is deep and expansive, the goblins in question aren't that far inside the dungeon, for fear of what lurks deeper in the depths. However, it is also believed that they will try to escape the dungeon and sell the emerald at the first opportunity. The new recruits are being offered 300 gps each, plus all the treasure that they may find along the way (Heroes of the Dungeon Crawl will have a system where each successful quest completion will offer an experience point reward, possibly 10% towards the next level, while not having a gold piece for experience point rule. HotDC only has seven levels, and we don't want level advancement to be too easy).

So, will the brave recuits begin a journey that will take them to the Hall Of Heroes, or will they join the ranks of the Hall Of Fallen Adventures? Stay tuned to find out.
