AC3: The Kidnapping of Princess Arelina

AC3 "The Kidnapping of Princess Arelina" (1984) by Garry Spiegle is a short, 8-page adventure for character levels 2-5, designed to be used with "3-D Dragon Tiles".

Creative Team:

Garry Spiegle* contributed a letter to "Out on a Limb" in The Dragon #3 (October, 1976).  He worked on the Companion Set rules and also wrote CM2 "Death's Ride" (1984).

*Spiegle passed away in 2018

3-D figures were designed by Dennis Kauth, who also designed the 3-D figures for B6 "The Veiled Society" (1984).  Illustrations were by Kauth and Jim Roslof.


The Adventure:

I posted a review of this adventure on Dragonsfoot, back in 2018.

The princess' abductor has taken refuge in a "house bounded by two dark towers" and must be rescued by the PCs.


The House of Towers


The House of Towers can easily be repurposed as a great little exploratory adventure for a group of low-level PCs.


Location:

"The Kidnapping of Princess Arelina" takes place in an unnamed kingdom.

There is no suggested placement within the Lands and Environs of the D&D Wilderness.


Trivia:

Names of the 8 prerolled characters appear to be Malaysian in origin*

*see also here on the Vaults of Pandius

The inclusion of a ranger is a clue to the fact that these are AD&D pregens, with AD&D spells (and spell progression), as well as some AD&D-specific equipment.
