In the province of Ithilien in the Kingdom of Gondor, the Dark Lord Sauron has thrown an army against the causeway forts outside the ruined city of Osgiliath, which are defended by a small but determined garrison. The beleaguered garrison needs a few intrepid messengers to get through to Lord Faramir at the secret stronghold of Henneth Annûn and ask him to come to their aid. The fate of these brave men – perhaps even of Gondor itself – hangs on successful delivery of this message. Can your party see it through? This short, introductory sample adventure, designed to introduce new players to roleplaying games, includes Fast Play Rules and three ready-made characters.
