When people begin to go missing around the Sea of Fallen Stars¸ a group of adventurers set out to investigate the disappearances." Chapter 1 - When a relative of someone close to the characters goes missing from a nearby village¸ the players are asked to investigate. The party has to recover stolen goods from a thief before setting out from the City of Ravens Bluff. They travel through the wilds of Vesperin in search of the missing person¸ finding trouble and helping locals along the way. Chapter 2 - As the journey continues¸ the party arrives in a small hamlet suffering from a strange blight. The players will need to investigate the situation and choose sides in a longstanding feud between the mayor and a local magic user. Chapter 3 - After clearing a tribe of violent orcs from a nearby mountain pass to protect the residents of a town¸ the party will have to enter the lair of a long-dead dragon to rescue their quarry from a band of goblinoid slavers¸ where they discover an entrance into a dwarven city¸ lost and forgotten centuries ago. Chapter 4 - The party will have to traverse the ruins of the dwarven city¸ avoiding hazards and battling the horrors that lurk there¸ to uncover the identity of the slaver's leader. A discovery that will lead them through a treacherous forest to the city of Tsurlagol in search of a pirate ship called the Star Carver¸ and its drow captain¸ The Viper's Kiss. Along the way¸ they meet an unlikely ally. Chapter 5 - Once they arrive in Tsurlagol¸ the players will have to choose between gaining the assistance of the city council to fight the pirates head on¸ or making a deal with the Viper's Kiss¸ herself. The path they choose will either lead to an epic battle on the Sea of Fallen Stars¸ or into the deadly sewers and tunnels beneath the city to face an enclave of wererats¸ undead¸ and a tribe of mad¸ kraken-worshipping kuo-toa¸ in search of a fabled relic. The Laughing Horde of Ruin: Part One is the first chapter of an epic campaign that takes players through the first five chapters of the story. It includes overland travel¸ social intrigue¸ dynamic choices that affect the game¸ two dungeons¸ and a new animal companion class with three subclasses. "A solid adventure with a good variety of locations¸ characters¸ situations¸ and encounters. It would be a worthy purchase by itself¸ but certainly leaves me interested to see where the author will take the story next. " - Alex C.
