Back-Pocket Adventures

The Back-Pocket Adventures The idea here is to provide something to keep Chappie's game group rolling when he's on holiday or unable to make Tuesdays. The original Redcliff sessions were taken from a published mini-module and inserted into Alair as a one-off tournament, with pre-rolled 5th-level characters provided randomly. When the chance to return to Redcliff arose, some of the PCs were returned to the monastary they'd become responsible for to pick up 6 months later. Since then, the characters have become rather attached to the village on the Desolation Marches and have settled down. Unfortunately, trouble seems to have followed them home...
