How Do We Play?
The D&D Fast-Play Game isnt a computer game. In fact, it isnt like any other game youve played. Theres no board, no playing pieces, no disk. All you need is your imagination, this booklet, and at least three six-sided dice. One of the players is called the Dungeon Master, or DM. The DMs in charge of running the game. The best storyteller in your group should be the DM. Stop reading this adventure now and give this booklet to the player who will be the DM. The DM coordinates the action, tells the other players what their characters see and hear, and resolves battles. If youre the DM, youre two parts storyteller, one part CPU, with a little bit of banker and stage manager thrown in. If youre the DM, you run the world, and everything in it does your bidding. The other players run the heroes. The heroes influence the world with every action they take. When the DM presents a situationsuch as a dark tomb full of deadly goat demonsthe players tell the DM what their hero characters are doing. The heroes of DIABLO II slay monsters, rescue villages, and collect treasure and magical items. If the heroes survive the adventure, the players win the game.

The Game Session

How does this work? The Fast-Play Game walks you through a D&D adventure set in the world of DIABLO II. It presents the rules when you need them so you dont have to memorize anything to play. You follow the directions, describing situations and adding your own details as the adventure plays out. You react to what the players want their characters to do, so that the adventure environment remains unpredictable. You also get to play the roles of the monsters and any other characters that may appear in the adventure. All of the action takes place through discussion and dice rolling. Nobody should run around the table or try any stuntsthis is make-believe! Players can speak in character (I attack the Bloodhawk) or refer to their characters in the third person (The Barbarian attacks the Bloodhawk), depending on how they are more comfortable playing. You can use different voices and sound effects for the monsters, or you can describe scenes like a narrator in a movie.

The Heroes

There are four character sheets in the center of this booklet. Each describes one of the heroes in this adventure. Remove the sheets and give them to the players so they can each choose a DIABLO II hero. (The DM doesnt get a character sheet. You get this adventure and all the monsters and other DM characters within it.) While the players take a few moments to examine their character sheets, you should keep reading this booklet.

Dungeon MasTer Aids

The following visual aids are used herein to help you run this adventure.

The Map

Located on the inside front cover, its for your eyes only. It shows where the action occurs.

Boxed Text

contains rules for running a scene. Dont read boxed text to the players, but do follow the directions and advice contained therein. Everything else in this adventure is for the DM. We tell the DM everything, but the players should figure things out through the course of play. Dont read anything that isnt Red Text to the players.

Red Text

Called a Read-Aloud. Read this text out loud to your players to describe what the characters see and hear.
When Demons Walked The World
Once the players have looked over their character sheets, you can start the adventure. Remember, only read the Red Text to the players. Usually, the Red Text ends with a question for the playersWhat are your heroes going to do? At this point you turn things over to the players. They decide if their characters are going to open a door, fight a monster, run away, or do something else entirely. Its up to them. The players tell you what their heroes are doing; they dont all have to do the same thing. You tell them the results of their actions, using whats presented in this adventure. When the heroes try to do something that isnt covered in this adventure, you get to decide what happens. How? Just make it up! Even better, you should feel free to add details to each scene so that the adventure is uniquely your own. Thats the fun of the D&D game. Its that simple. So turn on your imagination and read this to the players to begin the game: Each of you is playing the role of one of the heroes from the world of DIABLO II. Its a world of dark fantasy, a world haunted by evil. Much of the trappings resemble the medieval age, but with lots of magic and monsters thrown in. If your heroes do well, they gain power and experience, surviving to take on another quest or participate in a new adventure. Im the Dungeon Master for this adventure. Ill describe what the characters see and hear, youll tell me what your heroes are going to do based on those descriptions, and together well tell an exciting story. Ready? Lets begin. Tell the players to describe their characters to each other. Then read: You and your companions are traveling through the wilderness when you come upon a terrible sight. In an open field in the shadow of a rocky hill, you see the shattered remains of a merchant caravan. Overturned wagons, scattered crates of vegetables and crafts, slaughtered horses and pack animals, and a variety of broken weapons litter the area. Its obvious a fierce battle took place here in the recent past, as wet blood paints the shattered wagons and spoiled goods. There are no bodies, however. Not one merchant or caravan guard can be spotted

among the wreckage. Then you notice an opening in the hillside nearby. It isnt a cave. Its a stone doorway, open to the darkness within. From somewhere inside that dark doorway, you hear a pitiful scream. Help me! the frightened voice pleads. Please help me! What are you going to do? Ask each player what his or her hero is doing. The heroes have a couple of options, though eventually you want them to investigate the door into the hillside. They can wait to see what happens. They can examine the door. They can enter the door. They can leave. Find the action listed below that comes closest to what the heroes are doing and follow the directions.

the following details. Read: There are a few splotches of wet blood on the doorframe. You also notice savage claw marks on the lower portions of the door and doorframe.

C. Enter the Door

The door leads to the first chamber shown on the map (area 1). Its extremely dark inside, and even swinging the door wide open doesnt help much because the hills shadow cloaks the doorway. The heroes will need to ignite one of their torches to light up the room, and even then the light barely spills into a 20-foot circle, DM Secret: leaving much of the Using Voices chamber in darkness. Whenever the heroes run into a If the heroes hesitated monster or a DM character, get (they watched the door and dramatic. Use a deep, evil voice waited to see what would when you talk for the Fallen happen), then they hear an Shaman. Add a screech or two angry screech when they to your descriptions when the light a torch or enter the Bloodhawk attacks. Growl room. Scrrawwk! when the heroes meet the Scrrawwk! Hellhound. Its fun, it helps you If the heroes acted get into character, and it sets quickly (they didnt watch the tone for the adventure. and wait), then they hear a weak call for help when they open the door, light a torch, or enter the room.Help me, please help me! a weak voice calls from the darkness. Its killing me! When the heroes enter the door, go to 1: Bloodhawk Nest.

A. Wait

The heroes wait to see what happens. Nothing emerges from the doorway, but they continue to hear the pitiful screams and cries for help coming out of the opening. After about 15 minutes (game time, not real time), they hear a final scream of agony and then nothing but silence. Ask the players again: What are your heroes doing?

B. Examine the Door

The door is made of stone, set in an ancient stonework frame. It hangs about halfway open, revealing nothing but darkness within. If any of the heroes ask to make a closer inspection of the door, have the players of those heroes make Intelligence checks. To make an Intelligence check, a player rolls three dice. If the total is less than his or her heros Intelligence score, the hero discovers an important detail. Any hero who successfully made a closer examination of the door and doorway notices

D. Leave

This is always an option, but its not a very exciting one. Encourage the players to press on; otherwise the game is over. Obviously, the Paladin should want to aid whoever might still be alive inside the hill.

2:00 PM

Page 4
The other heroes should see an opportunity to defeat evil and explore a mysterytasks that usually include acquiring treasure. If the heroes still decide to move on, this adventure ends.
If the heroes took too long to get to this chamber, the merchant is dead. They can examine his body after theyve defeated the Bloodhawks.

B. The Bloodhawk Battle

1: Bloodhawk NesT
When the heroes enter the first chamber under the hill, they stumble into a nest of Bloodhawks. This scene assumes that the heroes are using a torch. If they dont light one of their torches, alter the description to account for just what they can hear and smell. Then let them stumble around in the dark as the Bloodhawks easily rip them to shreds. See the note below on fighting in the dark. Read the following out loud when the heroes enter the room: The putrid smell of death and decay fills this dank chamber. The screeching is louder inside. Its the sound of some large, angry bird. You step in a puddle of gore on the cobblestone floor, and then a rush of wings erupts from the shadowy corner and two demonic vultures swoop toward you, their razor-sharp talons extended menacingly.
The Bloodhawks hate to be disturbed, especially when theyre in the middle of dinner. Besides, any intrusion into this chamber is seen by the Bloodhawks as an attack on their nest. Up to two heroes can attack one Bloodhawk; a Bloodhawk can attack one hero at a time. The action takes place in combat rounds. In a combat round, each hero makes one attack (or uses a skill). If the attack succeeds, the heros player makes a damage roll. Then you make one attack for each Bloodhawk, rolling for damage if a Bloodhawk successfully hits a hero. As DM, you get to run the Bloodhawks as you see fit. You decide which heroes get attacked and what the Bloodhawks do in the round. If there are still heroes and monsters standing after the first round, play through another round. Keep playing through rounds until the monsters have been defeated or the heroes have fallen. Continued on Page 9
Look at the map on the inside front cover. It shows the first chamber in this ancient tomb. Theres a door on the left wall, but the heroes havent noticed it yet. The Bloodhawks nest is on the right, and they quickly cross the room to attack. There are two Bloodhawks in this room.

A. The Merchant

The Bloodhawks carried off one of the merchants from the caravan and brought him to their nest. If hes still alive, he calls to the heroes. Kill them! Kill those foul creatures and Ill pay you handsomely!

Heroes Attack:
The players make the attack rolls for their heroes. To make an attack roll, a player rolls three dice. If the total is less than the heros To-Hit number, the attack misses. If the total is equal to or greater than the heros To-Hit number, the attack succeeds. When an attack succeeds, a player makes a damage roll (as listed on the heros character sheet). You record the damage on the Bloodhawk Life chart, below. When a Bloodhawks Life boxes are filled, it dies. A Note on Darkness: If the heroes are fighting in the dark (none of the heroes lit a torch), then they are at a disadvantage. When fighting in darkness, the heroes roll two dice to attack instead of three. After each hero has had a chance to attack once (or use a skill), then its the Bloodhawks turn
Theres a door on the lefthand wall that seems to lead deeper into the hillside. Theres a nest composed of decayed flesh and fur in the far corner, and a merchant lies on the floor beside the nest. If the merchant is alive, he explains what happened. My caravan was attacked by demons! he says. Small, horned creaturesthey killed us with murderous glee! But listen!

Bloodhawks Attack:

You roll for the Bloodhawks. The Bloodhawks have a To-Hit number of 12. Roll three dice. If the total equals or exceeds 12, a Bloodhawk hits. If a Bloodhawk hits a hero, roll one die of damage. Make an attack roll for each Bloodhawk, just like the players did for each hero. If a Bloodhawk inflicts damage, the heros player records it in the Life boxes on the character sheet. When a heros Life boxes are filled, the hero dies.

C. Exploring the Room

The room cant be explored until the Bloodhawks are defeated. Once the battle ends, the heroes see:

Page 10
burned to ashes. If not, another Bloodhawk forms, and it attacks the heroes before they leave the room. It has the same attack information as the other Bloodhawks. The door is locked. A hero will have to bash it open. To bash open a locked door, a hero makes a Strength check. To make a Strength check, a player rolls three dice. If the total is less than his or her heros Strength score, the door swings open. When the heroes enter the door, go to 2: A Short Corridor.
A bright light from across the room rushes toward you. It appears to be a crackling ball of electricity, and before you can react its on top of you! The ball of lightning strikes the front line of heroes. If they were marching in single file, then the hero in front bears the brunt of this attackhe or she takes two dice of damage. If they were marching two or four across, then the two heroes who enter the room first split the damagethey each suffer one die of damage. A great reptilian beast, lightning crackling around its oversized head, stands in the chambers far corner. It seems that the lightning ball came from the creature itself! You also spot four humans who appear to be from the merchant caravan. They seem to be unconscious but alive. The creature roars, showing great rows of sharp teeth. Then it charges, rushing toward those still reeling from the electrical discharge. The Hellhound fights the rest of this battle in a more traditional manner, attacking with its teeth and claws. After the lightning attack, the heroes get to act before the Hellhound gets a chance to strike again.

2: A ShorT Corridor

Ask the heroes how they are walking down this corridor. They can walk two to a square so that they are spaced out four across, or they can walk in pairs, or they can travel single file. You want to have them determine which character is standing where in the lineup. This corridor leads to another door. The door isnt locked. However, as the heroes walk toward the door, they hear a frightening sound. Read: Something large seems to be moving around beyond the door ahead. You also hear a constant, powerful growling that sounds a lot like the rumble of thunder.
The players make the attack rolls for their heroes. To make an attack roll, a player rolls three dice. If the total is less than the heros To-Hit number, the attack misses. If the total is equal to or greater than the heros To-Hit number, the attack succeeds. When an attack succeeds, a player makes a damage roll (as listed on the heros character sheet). You record the damage on the Hellhound Life chart, below. When the Hellhounds Life boxes are filled, it dies.

3: The Hellhound

The thunderous growl comes from the large Hellhound that occupies this room. It starts out in the far left corner of the chamber. Its a large-headed reptilian creature thats about seven feet tall. As soon as the heroes open the door, it breathes a bright ball of lightning that rushes forward. Read:

2:05 PM

After each hero has had a chance to attack once (or use a skill), then its the Hellhounds turn

4: The Corridor of Doors

Read this to the players when the heroes enter this corridor: This corridor ends in three closed doors. Theres a door on each wall at the far end of the corridor; one on the right, one on the left, and one straight ahead. Theres a trick to this corridor. It involves the three doors. The door on the right side of the corridor opens easily. Behind this door is a blank, stone wall. If the heroes release the door, it swings shut. The door straight ahead leads to area 5. If the heroes enter this small room, go to 5: The Shrine. The door on the left side of the corridor is locked and cant be opened by force. Unfortunately, thats the way the heroes have to go, so theyre going to have to figure out how to open it. To open this door, the door on the right must be open. A hero can hold it open, or they can wedge something in the doorway to keep it from shutting. When the heroes get the door on the left open, they can enter 6: The Blood Stone Tomb.

Hellhound Attacks:

You roll for the Hellhound. The Hellhound has a To-Hit number of 10. Roll three dice. If the total equals or exceeds 10, the Hellhound hits. If the Hellhound hits a hero, roll one die and add 3 for damage. Make an attack roll for the Hellhound. It attacks one hero each round. If the Hellhound inflicts damage, the heros player records it in the Life boxes on the character sheet. When a heros Life boxes are filled, the hero dies.

Hellhound Life

Hellhound
After the heroes defeat the Hellhound, they spot the door leading out of this chamber and the four unconscious merchants. None of these men have been hurt badly, and the heroes can wake them up if they try. The merchants warn that small demons have the rest of their companions trapped in a room deeper in the tomb. The merchants wont accompany the heroes. Instead, theyll head outside if the heroes let them. There is nothing else in this room.

5: The Shrine

When the heroes enter this small chamber, read: A sense of safety and well-being surrounds you when you step into this small chamber. A shrine to the Light occupies one wall, while a door across the chamber seems to lead deeper beneath the hill. The shrine restores lost Life points to all heroes. Let the players erase any marked-off Life points when the heros enter the room.

Page 12

The door on the far wall opens upon a collapsed corridor. Tons of rock and stone fill the passage, effectively blocking it off. The heroes cant move the rubble, no matter how hard they try. This is a dead end.

6: The BloodSTone Tomb

When the heroes enter this chamber, read: Torches illuminate this chamber, but theres also a crimson glow coming from the far side of the room. There, jutting from the wall itself, is a heart-shaped crimson stone with lines of obsidian shooting through it. It seems to pulse with an inner glow, and thick red liquid drips from its two open arteries. You also spot four members of the caravan. They seem to be alive but unconscious, and they are tied to stakes set against the righthand wall. Finally, you see a crowd of small, horned demons dancing maniacally in the center of the chamber. One of them, slightly larger and better dressed than the others, directs the ceremony. He hefts a stone goblet filled with the red liquid, raises his voice in a language you dont understand, and splashes the liquid at his captives. The other demons stop dancing and turn toward you, raising their crude swords to battle. These are Fallen Ones, diminutive demons known to be bad-tempered and violent. There are six of these demons; four in the square containing the monster symbol that is closest to the entry door, and two in the far square containing the monster symbol. (See the map, area 6, for placement.) A Fallen One Shaman leads this group of demons. It starts in the far square with the two lesser demons. While only two heroes can occupy a single 10-foot square, up to four of these small demons can

fill a 10-foot square. The demons are in the middle of an arcane ceremony that requires the sacrifice of the human merchants. The demons fight to the death. You can have as many as four of the demons team up to fight a single hero. Play the demons any way you wish, but remember that the Shaman has additional powers that he can call upon.
The players make the attack rolls for their heroes. To make an attack roll, a player rolls three dice. If the total is less than the heros To-Hit number, the attack misses. If the total is equal to or greater than the heros To-Hit number, the attack succeeds. When an attack succeeds, a player makes a damage roll (as listed on the heros character sheet). You record the damage on the Fallen One Life chart, below. When a Fallen Ones Life boxes are filled, it dies. After each hero has had a chance to attack once (or use a skill), then its the Fallen Ones turn

Fallen One Attacks:

You roll for the Fallen Ones. The Fallen Ones have a To-Hit number of 13. Roll three dice. If the total equals or exceeds 13, a Fallen One hits. If a Fallen One hits a hero, roll one die for damage. The Fallen One Shaman has a To-Hit number of 11. Roll one die and add 1 for damage. The Fallen One Shaman also has the ability to cast a fireball at a single character each round, instead of making a normal attack. He can only cast a fireball when he isnt engaged in direct combat (a hero is swinging at his head with a sword, for example). The fireball automatically hits and causes one die of damage. Make an attack roll for each Fallen One.

2:06 PM

Page 13
With the demons beaten, the heroes can check out the room. The four merchants are alive. They can be untied and returned for the reward. The door on the far wall leads out of the tomb, emerging on the far side of the hill. They can exit through this door. The door on the left-hand wall opens onto a staircase. Read: The stairs beyond the door lead down into utter darkness. You can feel evil emanating from below like a living thing, and you can hear unidentifiable sounds that make your blood run cold.

WhaTs NexT?

Each demon attacks one hero each round. If a Fallen One inflicts damage, the heros player records it in the Life boxes on the character sheet. When a heros Life boxes are filled, the hero dies. What foul horrors await our heroes? What dark depths do the mysterious stairs lead to? What evil plans are Diablo and his minions hatching? This Fast-Play Game is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Dungeons & Dragons game.
