Requires use of Monte Cook Presents: Iron Heroes, published by Malhavoc Press. Requires use of the Dungeons & Dragons® Third Edition Core Books, published by Wizards of the Coast, Inc. This book utilizes updated material from the v. 3.5 revision. BEGINNING THE ENCOUNTER Read or paraphrase the following to the players: The Skullcrag goblins have lived in the mountains west of human lands for decades. The older locals can remember several skirmishes with the Skullcrags back in their younger days, but for the last thirty years or so the goblins have left your people alone. All that has changed recently, however. A goblin raiding party has been striking at outlying farms, carrying off booty and slaying all who try to resist. The pattern of their attacks suggests that the next place they will strike is the Ramshorn Farm, and the local authorities have dispatched you to protect the Ramshorn family. It seems you may have arrived too late. As you approach the farm, you catch sight of small, bandy-legged humanoids darting about the place. The high, chittering sound of goblin voices rises as the creatures catch sight of you, and the battle is joined. THE GOBLIN RAIDERS astering Iron Heroes introduces two important new The long peace with the humans wears thin the patience M concepts to your Iron Heroes game: zones (areas of of Borgnok, warleader of the Skullcrag tribe.
