Of Ants and Men
Of Ants and Men is an adventure for characters of levels 4 to 8.
Of Ants and Men begins as a quest to recover (e.g., steal) eggs from
a giant anthill near the town of Endhome. The real treasure is a sword made of a rare and strange
metal, called the two-edged sword, which has amazingly powerful anti-magical properties.
The adventure can also be played (perhaps more effectively) by smaller groups. In response to many requests from our fans, the main encounters are designed to work well with groups of two to three characters of levels 6 to 8. Even a solo adventurer could do reasonably well, if the individual character had very good climbing, trap finding, and stealth skills. Druids, barbarians, and rogues will fare best in cases where the groups are limited in size.
While there’s plenty of opportunity for combat here, characters who think through a situation before drawing their swords are likely to do best. Hacking one’s way through is likely to result in character deaths.
