The adventure begins…
Torra Alta is under attack.

As Baron Branwolf prepares his defences, ominous sounds emerge from the labyrinth of dragon-built tunnels beneath the castle. Against the baron's orders, his son, Caspar, accompanies the party despatched to seal off the tunnels. When Caspar discovers an ancient dragon's hoard of treasure, the magical light of a moonstone proves too tempting and Caspar takes it.
