Last week's I wrote up a little adventure for a few low-level PCs, wherein they had to deliver a magical sword to their King's favorite knight at a ruined keep on the edge of the kingdom. The twist in the adventure was that the keep and the forest around it were occupied by a group of goblins. Today, I'm gonna take the plot a little further and set up another part of the adventure, which I'm now calling The Black Cabal. So consider this week's mini-adventure installment as part two of The Black Cabal. I digress, however. Here's this week's plot hook:

After clearing out the mess on the ground floor of Darkhelm Keep, the PCs decide it might be a good idea to press onward into the Keep's cellar, through the only two doors inside still standing. After descending down a flight of musty stone stairs, the PCs find themselves standing in a dank, moss-covered stone hallway with four wooden doors set leading off of it. At the far end of this hallway, you see a merrily burning fire, but it's too far away to tell what the source is.
