Adventure Plot:

Many years ago, two renown adventurers, Rogahn the Fearless and Zelligar the Unknown pooled their resources together and built a stronghold high up on a craggy hill, away from civilized lands. They carved their home right ouf of the rocks on a heavily forested hill and called it the Caverns of Quasqueton.

Rogahn and Zelligar lived secluded for many years, conducting their affairs from within Quasqueton, not disturbing the settlements in the valley. Tales of their adventures rumored about, but no one was sure of their past. Some say evil arts were performed deep within Quasqueton.

But what is known about them that is true was when a horde of barbarians invaded the valley below. Rogahn and Zelligar combined their powers and forces and erradicated the barbarian forces. To the much appreciations of the populace in the valley, the people rewarded Rogahn and Zelligar with considerable treasure and they returned to their reclusive living.

Many years has passed and no one has seen either. Tales of their journey to the barbarian land to destroy the invaders have circulated around the valley. As well as tales of their demise in the barbarian land. No one knows for sure if they are still alive, but the two has not been seen for a very long time. What riches and dark secrets hides in the Caverns of Quasqueton, and who dares to go and find out?

Review:
(4th Printing)

With the reprint of the module, now in a brown cover, a few things was changed inside. The adventure itself has not changed, (see my previous review), however, previous references to any Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules has been removed; Dwarves, Halflings and Elves are once again classes and not races. No more race listing for clerics and thieves henchmen. The module is now fully under the Dungeons & Dragons rules. And the room numbering has been changed to numbers instead of Roman numerals.
