Diablo (3.5e Sourcebook)/Introduction

Welcome, brave adventurers, to the town of Tristram. Ye must be rather brave (or rather foolish) to come here. Most others would not tell ye, but I will arm ye with the knowledge ye need: this town is cursed. Deep within the church lies an ancient evil. He has locked himself far below the depths of this Earth, to a place where only the very brave or very foolish would go. As I said before, I will not hide ye from the truth: beasts and undead horrors will harry ye at every turn, waiting to strike ye down with a strong arm, a taunt bowstring, or a powerful spell. I will try to provide everything ye might need on yer journey to Hell. I will not succeed. Most of ye will die. But that is the way of things, is it not? Many die for the sake of the land...

And perhaps the world as well.

Luck be with ye,

Griswold

P.S.: Tell Wirt he's a stingy little git for me, will ye?
