From D&D Wiki
Adventure Background[edit]
20 years ago, seemingly out of nowhere, monsters started to run rampant in the world. A half elf by the name Lia Evenwood disguised herself as a man and, taking on the name Varis, joined the humanoid forces in a fight against chaos. She quickly Became a hero in the conflict, and was promoted to one of tehe leading generals in the humanoid forces, despite her mixed race. When the war was over, she kept her disguise of a man and ruled over the city of Gariff (pronounced Gare-ITH) as a Baron.
Overview[edit]
The Party, eventually accompanied by Lia, find out that something mysterious has taken refuge in the old Gariff Castle.
Hook[edit]
<- The Party is a group of travelers that were passing through Gariff. After stopping a confrontation with some bandits, Varis Evenwood calls them to the Keep of Gariff to thank them. Varis tells them that those particular gang of thugs have been very distructive lately, and he will pay the party good amounts of money to go to the abandoned and rotting Gariff Castle, where he thinks the Bandits are hiding. ->

Consumable magic items should be divided up however the group sees fit. If more than one character is interested in a specific consumable magic item, the DM can determine who gets it randomly should the group be unable to decide.
Permanent magic items are divided up according to a system. See the sidebar if the adventure awards permanent magic items.
