Tangents #1: Barrow Mound PDF

Centuries ago, a band of great heroes fell to the lure of evil, one traitorous member dooming them all. Stories of the Hundred's final battle have echoed through the ages, but their true fate has been lost to the dark mists of time. Almost forgotten, their legacy survives only as a cautionary tale for other adventurers.
 
 
Until tonight. Under a black, cloud-choked sky, something stirs near the hamlet of Elrin. Rumors of an unnatural blight, creatures of darkness and evil threatening the countryside abound. Brave souls are needed to dare the twisted forest, to find the heart of wickedness plaguing Elrin and defeat it forever...or be consumed by it.
