D&D Quest

This quest (entirely made by me) was actually a lot of fun to play. My buddy actually got hit by a ballista bolt, but he survived, because he has some ludicrous hitpoints and armor. I also use a heavy homebrew style of D&D, so take the number of soldiers on each side, and the type of them with a grain of salt.

This is quite a difficult quest for each player to survive, so make sure either you (as the DM) are willing for one or two people to die, or that they are all high enough levels to survive. The names of nations and leaders are obviously taken from my overall story arc, so feel free to change it up to fit yours. I just wanted other people to enjoy/criticize this quest!

Here's a link to the map and document of the .png files I uploaded to (crudely) depict what you're up against: www.dropbox.com/s/kwy63ubhyfbfu19/Map.zip?dl=0

I used GIMP to open the file (free), which is easy to make amateur maps, and, most importantly, has layers to an image; I can show the players the main and second floor layers, but don't show them the traps layer - really convenient.
