The third module designed for the Companion set of the BECMI Dungeons and Dragons, this one seeks to bring players back into dungeon crawling at their high level. The previous CM sets had focused on the building up of dominions for characters to rule over and dealing with threats to that kingdom. Sabre River gives the high level party a reason to get out of their stronghold and figure out what is going on elsewhere, eventually doing some dungeoneering on the way.

It all starts in the hall of one of the characters’ fortresses as a young man brings news of a strange blight on the crops and possible destruction of farmer’s lives near the Sabre River. This leads immediately to a huge skull materializing in the middle of the hall, spouting out a mysterious omen and further intriguing the characters. 

With a wide variety of environments to explore, from an island location, to volcanic caves and underground rivers, this looks like a pretty fun module to run with some story twists and turns that will keep characters interested. It also has a cool Keith Parkinson cover to go with it!
