L2 The Assassin's Knot TSR9057, Vintage TSR Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition Greyhawk Adventure Module by Lenard Lakofka VG/VG

Item Details

This excellent 32-page adventure was authored by Len Lakofka and published by TSR in the early days of this whole tabletop gaming revolution.

This is the second module in the Restenford Mystery Series. At least that was the working title for these adventures according to former TSR employee Lawrence Schick. The series began in The Secret of Bone Hill L1 and continues in this adventure.

Deep Dwarven Delve, L3 is also set in the Lendore Isles. L3 Deep Dwarven Delve was created years ago and run as a tournament module at the 1979 GenCon XII and was reportedly run by Lenard Lakofka himself. The adventure was publicly released in 1999 exclusively as a part of the Silver Anniversary Collector's Edition boxed set.

I do have a copy of the rare Silver Anniversary Collector's Edition boxed set in shrinkwrap available as well.

Description

From the back of the module:

"If you want someone murdered, go to Garrotten." It is a common saying in Restenford. The small, peaceful town of Garrotten is rumored to be the headquarters of a deadly band of assassins. Perhaps there is nothing to this talk. Perhaps it is true. There has never been any reason to find out. Until now... The Baron of Restenford is dead. The first day following his death, Restenford was a hornet's nest of activity. No one was allowed to enter or leave. The castle itself was sealed to outsiders as soon as the murder was discovered. Wild rumors hinted that the body was left in a condition that made magical restoration impossible. That evening came an urgent summons from the reclusive sorceror, Pelltar, whose council continued late into the night. By midmorning of the next day, you were well on your way to Garrotten. Three slender clues are all that remain - three possible chances to unravel the tangled web of intrigue that doomed the Baron of Restenford. The sun is warm, and the land around you is full of life. By nightfall, you will arrive.

Condition

This adventure is in Very Good condition showing light wear. The outer cover has heavy creasing along the fold, corner rounding, edge wear, and light scuffing. The maps are clean and pretty. The inner cover shows less wear. The adventure book shows light scuffing on the front, moderate corner rounding, light edgewear, and a few light discolored spots here and there. It is very clean, has no writing, and does not look like it was ever used. A nice copy.
