Thieves in the Forest (2000)

An adventure for 1st level characters.

From the back cover:

They lurk in the Ralferst Forest, striking out at all who pass through, robbing traders, assaulting farmers, even killing with impunity. Working from a secret base deep in the forest, a band of thieves has struck fear into the heart of Brandon's Bridge, the little village at the crossing of the Azure River. Bur now a band of heroes has come, seeking glory and adventure - heroes that might just be up to the challenge of driving away the Thieves of the Forest.

Thieves in the Forest is a beginner-friendly, introductory adventure for the D20 System. It features:

- A wilderness adventure segment set in the Ralferst Forest, a dense wood crisscrossed with paths and fraught with perils. The nature of the forest and paths makes it easy for less experienced players and GMs to deal with this non-dungeon environment.

- A double-sided, fold-out poster map (17: x 22") of the thieves' hideout--an ancient ruined temple--suitable for tabletop use with miniatures or counters, for easier handling of tactical combat.

- Maps created in Profantasy Software's Campaign Cartographer 2, and available for download on the Atlas Games website (www.atlas-games.com). GMs can customize and manipulate these maps themselves, if they own CC2, and integrate them into their own game worlds.
