It’s nice to have Alzar popping all over the place with teleport, he can churn off a lot of time moving from place to place, and more important, get through modules faster by not fighting the dorks in between. This little two module diversion gave me an opportunity to a fun little 5 sword quest. Much of these modules are being chased by the orcs or barbarians and so forth. If you have to criss-cross from point A to point B, that will take days and days of traveling, which results in a ton of wandering monsters and planned encounters. That takes up a lot of these modules. A higher level character just flits about with a teleport spell and moves on

Now I changed some stuff. The undead island was actually a barbarian village, and I made it undead because in my backstory, only an non-barbarian can grab the swords, that the play reason Alzar would be trusted to grab them. Well I can’t very well have Sword #4 be controlled by a barbarian, now can I?

Anyway, I hope that you enjoyed this little barbarian adventure.
