This adventure works really well in the event that a PC has a child. The school in the local town has been taken hostage by a group of Barbarians. The children are held for the town officials to be forced to let the Barbarians get their goal. THE BARBARIAN'S GOAL: is to stop the town from expanding into the surrounding wilderness, which is their home. Last week the town voted to build homes in the nearby forest by chopping trees. This would also provide the town with firewood.
