Alternate Thunder Rift Timeline

by Kyle Knight

This is gonna be a doozy people. I'm gonna make 2 points before posting my alternate timeline:

#1. The Sega Genesis game: Warriors of the Eternal Sun is linked to Thunder Rifts past via Duke Hector Barrik in the game and the ruins of Barrik's Keep in Quest for the Silver Sword module set in Thunder Rift. Now the Sega game takes characters from 1st to 14th level for humans, 12th level for dwarves, 10th level for elves and 8th level for halflings (Hin).

#2. All 4 of the DA modules set in Blackmoor are for levels 10-14.

Those are my 2 points. Now what if instead of getting sent back to the castle after the Burrower is defeated, the party is instead, sent thru a mysterious portal hidden in the Burrowers lair by Ka to investigate the other side? And yep, said portal dumps the party in the cellar of the Comeback Inn just after Uther is kidnapped. (or as my timeline mentions, maybe the party is dropped off just outside the Blackmoor city limits and they actually take rooms in the CBI just before Uther is kidnapped.) either way, under suspicion of being involved, the party is encouraged to rescue Uther.

and now for the timeline.
