Agar's Payment Author: aubricker@aol.com System: AD&D 2nd Edition Category: Fantasy Type: Hook The Good Hills area is civilized, and despite recent troubles it is mostly safe from major humanoid raids and similar threats. Still, there are some ancient burial grounds of unknown origin in the area. The Keoish would rather "let sleeping evils lie" and generally have the good sense to leave such things alone, but adventurers are another matter.

No D&D specific stats, so it could be used in any system without any conversions at all. Emphasizes roleplaying, not "kill 'em all" attitude. posted by Finglofin on 2000-03-05 23:15:56 I thought this was a good, well thought out adventure. I like the focus on roleplaying and not hacking. This is a good adventure to run for a short session or as a hook for the Cairn exploration. posted by Jim Stutz on 2000-06-12 09:56:37 A great adventure for those DMs who are trying to steer their campaigns away from hack-n-slash, and towards real roleplaying. A great idea, and very well written. posted by NiceDM on 2000-06-28 22:35:35 I really liked this hook, its simple, its objective and original! posted by kaiscomet on 2002-01-02 14:55:46 This was a well thought out hook. The background information was complete. This would definitely be a good adventure for a low level group to use for a side trek. The location that the village is in offers it as a possible starting point for later adventures as well. (Ancient Barrows, mines, history of humanoid raids). With a little work in fleshing out the inhabitants of the village, this could really work well. posted by fasterfind on 2002-09-17 09:23:59 Creative and not completely linear. Good outcomes and good plot! posted by Eric Wijnen on 2003-03-27 04:48:45 Good Side Adventure for traveling PC´s posted by tyverius on 2003-07-12 20:28:22 Not bad exactly, but doesn't really grab me either. The premise reminds me somewhat of the old 'Ship of Horrors' Ravenloft adventure. In my opinion, this is left a little too vague. posted by Redhound on 2004-08-14 22:16:04 I thought this was an excellent Hook. The idea is original, and just enough information has been given to allow a DM to flesh out the rest of the details. It is also a great way to send the PCs on their next adventure - all you have to do is change the manner of Agar's death so that it leads the PCs in that direction. Great job! posted by Redhound on 2004-08-14 22:16:20 I thought this was an excellent Hook.

Great job! posted by JohnO on 2005-04-24 18:03:33 Good lead in to a dungeon crawl...Much better than "you meet a hooded stranger in an inn.." I must say though, that 5000 xp seems a bit over generous as a reward for completing it; especially for low level parties. posted by casreg on 2007-01-10 10:33:25 sorry for off-topic. i didn't find faq page. posted by jo'n on 2013-05-14 16:25:55 Good stuff, easy to use, plenty of space for GM to develop tie ins to future encounters.
