Guildmaster Evos is wounded, his bodyguard beheaded by a ferocious man-tiger creature that ran away. The monster is hiding into the Forest of Thraa -- an area of woods dotted by ivy-covered ancient ruins. Thraa, where once a proud town stood -- a town that was destroyed by a vengeful druid cult. "Find the beast " yells Evos, clutching his bleeding neck. "I will pay three hundred golden crowns to the first adventurer who brings me back its head " This adventure for Four Against Darkness may be played by 1 to 4 players, in solo or cooperative mode, with all adventurers moving independently on a hex map. A black and white map is in the book, and a larger, full color map that can be printed up to A3 size can be downloaded, for those who want to use miniatures or paper figures to represent their characters' position.
