My Second Floor of the Mentzer Basic Dungeon


This is from a campaign I ran in 2009 or 2010. If I remember correctly the bandits and kobolds were enemies and the bandits had recently pissed off Bargle.  I have typed it up faithfully and with minimal comments. The kobolds were hard drinking party animals. They were not in any way offensive Asian stereotypes. I have no idea why the kobold clan is named that. I am pretty sure it is an unfortunate coincidence. The bandits were depressed. Bargle was an outgoing sociopath. The adventure hook was that Bargle would go into town every two weeks and go on a bender forcing the town to do humiliating stunts for his amusement and also bandits kidnapped the mayor. Bargle also made the town change the name of the tavern to Bloody Bucket of Elves because he thought it sounded “badass.” I am pretty sure the wandering monster table had giant ants on it.
