About the adventure
You will venture forth from the Keep on the Borderlands into the Unknown. You will experience adventure and learn how to work as a team with your brave companions. This is an introductory adventure to D&D. You will learn to play D&D over a short campaign and possibly go on to more heroic deeds. I will bring everything except your willingness to play and adventure.
