[Dual Quest] [Barbarian and Dwarf] - A Den of Thieves

[Daedalus]

No problem sharing and more Quests on the side? Win-win!

Here is the redone version using the suggestions made (thanks for the input guys.)

Dropped some of the traps and shortened the intro text,also noted where to start the quest and when to place the Barbarians.

I kept the the Barbarians using the white shields to defend,but I dropped their attack,defend and body stats.

I was looking for a quest to introduce a couple of new characters, and this looks very promising. An interesting story, and a quite complex journey. My main problem is the hole in the plot. The terms of the contract are quite specific: "If you clear the keep and rescue their father they will pay you 500 gold coins each." When you arrive back at room D it would be clear to the thieves that you do not have their father and therefore they need pay you nothing anyway. Why risk a fight with two much more powerful heroes over a bill of 1000gc, that they don't have to pay?

Here is what I will be doing. Have an actual person to find on the rack. Give him very low stats in line with an old weakened man. He is too weak to attack. If the heroes return to room D with him, then the fight with the thieves takes place. If you don't rescue him, or he is killed then you all leave together in peace. Your reward for rescuing the old guy is a last ditch fight which, if you win, gets you an extra 200gc.

I am also a bit doubtful about five healing potions in one small quest, but as my two guys will be totally new heroes, they may well need them?

I like this quest idea.

Hope you don't mind, but I made some slight changes to it, but the base idea is yours.

Just soloed this quest with my Bounty Hunter, kids not interested at the moment.

Used a Healing Scroll I had, plus 3 Healing poitions (2 were your loot, one was Treasure search)

I used the 4A/3D 5BP barbarians and it got very dicey for me. I had to use retreating tactics, consuming a Potion of Speed to try and outrun them backwards then take shots at them.
I used White Shields for their defense. And even after I scored a critical hit (All skulls on non-starter weapon, roll same again) I only managed 2BP from 5 Skull hit.

And my BH has 6DD with sword and shield.

Scary, but enjoyable because the risk of dying was very real.

And before anyone says anything, yes you can solo play/EWP a map. Just dont cheat.
