An Adventure for Character Levels 9-11
Remember the good old days, when adventures were underground, NPCs were there to be killed, and the finale of every dungeon was the dragon on the 20th level? Those days are back. Dungeon Crawl Classics don't waste your time with long-winded speeches, weird campaign settings, or NPCs who aren't meant to be killed. Each adventure is 100% good, solid dungeon crawl, with the monsters you know, the traps you fear, and the secret doors you know are there somewhere.
When the heroes come into town, word arrives that a nearby cloister of the god of valor is under siege by an army of undead. The adventurers travel to help defend the bastion of paladins, only to discover that these undead are actually ancient enemies of the paladins' order. They have discovered a way to exact vengeance for slights committed centuries ago, but to finish their plan they must breach the cloister's catacombs! Can the heroes battle them to the catacombs and defeat their horrific blackguard champion?

Reviews:
* EN World fan review: 5 stars. "Do buy this adventure if your PCs
need to kick some serious undead butt; if your heroes want to face
down a true army of undead; if you want to make your players quiver
over their character sheets; if you want a night of memorable gaming!"
* EN World fan review: 4 stars. "The Blackguard's Revenge is a solid
dungeon crawl in a more dynamic setting with some opportunity
for roleplaying. It's well-presented, pays attention to details,
creates ambience and offers interesting and exciting challenges."
* EN World fan review: 4 stars. "Overall, this is close to what I'd
have written for my own campaign, if I had the time, so I'm psyched
and I really want to use it. I buy a lot of adventures, but for most,
I'm like "ehh"; this one is way more than "ehh" for me -- nearly
perfect, to me, but tastes vary."
