Chaos at the Gates

Mini-Dungeon for four to five characters of level 1

Ironcourt is under attack! A horde of beast-headed savages has broken through the northern gates and now lays waste to the city. The king’s guard struggles to repel the invaders, but in doing so they have left Ironcourt’s southern approach undefended. The heroes must hold the southern gates until reinforcements arrive. Should the party fail, the beast-folk’s unexpected assault may claim even more lives.

Chaos at the Gates is an introductory adventure designed to kick off a new campaign. The characters may know each other from before the adventure, or they may be strangers who have volunteered to defend the southern gates together. In either case, allow the players to place their characters on the encounter map as the adventure begins.

Mini-Dungeons are short, setting-agnostic adventures for 5th Edition which can be easily inserted anywhere in your campaign.
