A simple call for adventurers leads to the forming of a band of adventurers to investigate the lack of communication from the keep on the hill to its ambassador in town, but not before an attempt is made to prevent the party from being able to do so. Now it's more than a potential job, it's become personal. If the party isn't dissuaded by this attempt on their lives, a deadly adventure awaits them up at the keep along with some investigations, and more than a couple of showdowns against the different members of an entanglement of villains loosely working together, a few interesting monsters, free agents that can be helpful, and situations need careful considerations. It is simple to run, has a few downright deadly encounters if you're not careful, and a little bit of puzzling to work out for the players, nothing too hard, and a clear end. There are many classic dungeon crawl elements in this adventure, but a fair amount of possible roleplaying and negotiation. I found this adventure to be a solid core adventure, maybe a bit linear for some, but enough flexibility to not feel as if you are being led from point A to B. [You could use this to start your own campaign, no problem, or continue with the Age of Ashes storyline to discover an endless conspiracy of the Scarlet Triad's involvement with different factions across Golarion, traveling the Portal gates to very different locations. The whole campaign is a good introduction for players to the world of Golarion and many of the factions, governments, and entities that make up the world.
