It's AD&D in all its glory. Several strangers have been recruited from across the Forgotten Realms by the mysterious sage, Amarion Blackskale. Their mission? Retrieve the horde of the fallen dragon Pyronicus Smaug and return a few choice trinkets to the Sage. For their trouble, Blackskale will allow them to split the rest of the horde and forgive each of them an individual debt. Of course, nothing is as easy as it sounds....
