Crypt of the Smoke Dragon is an introductory D&D adventure (15 pages) for four player characters. It came out in 1999 and was revised in 2002. Believe it or not, it uses three six-sided dice for skill checks and combat. It was designed to be a one shot and is available for free at DriveThruRPG. It has four rooms and my four characters did survive. They did find a pet and some great loot (remember, this is supposed to be a one shot). I wanted a longer adventure, so I got out my D&D 3.5 Dungeon Master’s Guide.
So, they spent a quiet night sleeping in the crypt. The next day they went back into the woods heading for the nearest village. The only thing they encountered was a badger and they left it alone. The next day was quiet during their travels and they arrived at the village at dusk. The gave a verbal report to the village leader (quest giver). They spent the night at the inn, but their sleep was interrupted by yelling outside. It ended up, there was a barn burning outside. The adventuring group and the entire village went out there to put it out. The barn ended up being destroyed, but the farmhouse was saved. The group now has an itch to find another dungeon to get more loot. Give this interesting adventure a try!
