STORY

"The village of Flexy ... the place you and your friend Matheus Lemon decided to visit in order to relax from your adventuring life for a couple of hours. You and your friend had quite a few drinks this evening and decided to stay in Erik's House, the local gathering-point; in order to be able to continue adventuring the next day. It all begins with the aftermath of this seemingly great party ... because now ... it's the end of the Calm before the Storm ..."

Gameplay Length: 3-5 hours depending on playstyle.

This is a remake of my very first module "Calm before the Storm" which I originally created way back in the end of 2003.

The module is Single-Player for

1st level characters

(End level 8th or 9th) with Good Alignment and with classes like fighter, barbarian or

paladin

. Male characters and the races Human or Half-Elf fits best.
