Synopsis
Life is hard for the clans of the wold, a life of toil and sacrifice. But there is joy as well. A marriage festival is underway; kith and kin have gathered at the homestead. But harken! The bridegroom has been captured; his retainers slain in cruel ambush. Can the goblin raiders be caught, and the bridegroom returned to his family? Four heroes give chase, hoping to overtake the raiders. But when this hope is dashed, only one path remains to rescue their friend... They must brave the Sepulchre of Dusk. This ancient barrow provides a means of entering the goblin warrens via a hidden path, but can the heroes overcome the deadly traps and inimical foes lurking in these dark passages?
