for a first time Dm'ing this really makes my life easier. i needed a campaign quickly and this looks like my group, who is also playing for the first time should really enjoy it

Really nice. fun to dungeonmaster

A long time ago I was part of a gaming group. And was giving the opportunity to run an adventure.... This was the adventure I dm'd..... Even now years later I still remember the fun and the fails that the team went through in this starter campaign. Like multiple failed climb checks, even with the rope. The first trap not really scaring the players like I hoped, and them cruising through then next mostly unscathed. It wasn't until the third trap when one of the PC's was 'killed', did the remainder start taking this dungeon seriously. It wasn't until the end of the adventure and the return of their lost teammate did it feel like a successful adventure. The players all loved it. They even gave the teammate that got 'killed' hell, forcing his character to walk back to town naked.
I have run many other adventures since then, mostly my own. But some I got from other sources. This one though still holds a special place in my memories.

Thank you so much! For some reason, I couldn't find any of the solo adventures to catch new-guy up to everyone else in-game. What can I say? If a group of experienced players wants to roll up leveled characters for an adventure, sure, I can referee the game. In my ongoing House Campaign, everybody starts at 1st level.
It's actually a 3.5ed Bard rather than a Rogue, but it should work with this module. We're just going to solo him a few levels, then he plans to multi as a Sorcerer, which is an interesting concept.
I'll check back in and let you know how it goes!

Good show! I needed a dungeon quickly for a new group, and I found this site through Bing. While the first one on the list, 'Accursed Tower', is notes on a dungeon that you still have to buy (not a bad price, I admit, but I'm broke at the moment), the others I looked at were of good quality. Yes, I saw my old friend B3 on the list. Only reason I didn't just grab my old modules is that I have a couple of veteran players who know the material. I found this site and will definitely be back for more! But for now, there's a thief among them! 😉

its perfect the lay of the camp is great and the monsters are not to far off alot of room to play and give story and fun

A tinderbox, or patch box, is a container made of wood or metal containing flint, firesteel, and tinder (typically charcloth, but possibly a small quantity of dry, finely divided fibrous matter such as hemp), used together to help kindle a fire. A tinderbox might also contain sulfur-tipped matches.

Tinderboxes fell out of general usage when friction matches were invented.

History and use[edit]

Throughout prehistoric Europe flint and iron pyrites (commonly known as fool's gold) were struck against one another in order to create a spark for firelighting. As an example, Ötzi was found with tinder fungus along with flint and pyrite for creating sparks.

With the development of iron ore smelting in the Iron Age, the firesteel eventually replaced pyrites.^[1] This was simply a piece of carbon steel (it is difficult to obtain sparks with ordinary iron), which was usually wrought into a 'D' shape, or an oval ring, so that it could be conveniently looped around two or three fingers for striking. The flint was sometimes chipped to provide a suitably sharp edge to obtain a spark and if necessary other hard stones, such as quartzite, chert or chalcedony could be substituted.^[2]

The charcloth was fabric made from vegetable fibre (e.g. cotton, linen, or jute) which had previously been charred via pyrolysis, giving it the low ignition temperature and slow burning characteristics suitable for use as tinder. Rotten wood, known as touchwood, was also used, as well as amadou, which was a tinder prepared from fungus steeped in potassium nitrate (saltpetre) and dried.^[3]

In use the flint was struck in a vigorous downward motion against the steel, sending a shower of sparks into the tinder which was arranged in the bottom of the box. The sparks (actually pieces of burning steel broken off by the harder flint) created very small embers as they fell onto the charcloth, the glow of which, with some gentle blowing, would be enough to ignite a sulfur tipped wooden splint. The splint could then be carried to a candle, often set in a holder on the top of the box, and finally the cloth would be extinguished with a damper to preserve it for further use.^[4] With skill, a fire could be started in under a minute, but at other times it took longer and occasionally a tiny pinch of gunpowder was added to encourage the process.^[5]

When away from home small pocket tinderboxes were often carried, sometimes set with a burning glass (a lens) in the lid to light the tinder directly from the sun's rays.^[6] The poorer people working in the fields would obtain a light by simply striking a flint on the back of a knife onto a piece of touch-paper that they carried in their pockets.^[5]

The tinder pistol, based on the flintlock mechanism, was a more expensive alternative to the tinderbox and was in use in middle and upper class homes in the 18th century. In the early 19th century a more efficient tinderbox was invented with a rotating metal wheel to create the sparks^[4] and there were other more experimental devices available, such as the fire piston and the instantaneous light box.^[6]

In the 18th and early 19th century tinderboxes were in common use, but with the advent of John Walker's 'friction lights' in 1827, where a match could be struck by withdrawing it from a piece of folded glass paper, tinderboxes increasingly became obsolete.^[6][7] A book from 1881^[8] notes that in 1834 a magazine editor had predicted^[9] that despite the advent of 'lucifers' (friction matches), the tinderbox would continue to be in general use in the household, but that in fact, by the time of writing, the tinderbox had become rare, expensive and was commonly seen only in museums of antiquities. Another book from 1889 describes such a tinderbox,^[10] observing that the wear patterns on the flint were the same as those on ancient prehistoric flints in the collection.^[11]

As metaphor[edit]

In conventional usage, the term 'tinderbox' refers to something that is so dry that it could catch on fire with the slightest provocation, perhaps even spontaneously like a forest fire. It is also used to describe a potentially volatile or violent situation. For instance, a prison in which there is unrest and the potential for a riot could be said to be 'a tinderbox of violence'.^[12]
