Cover text
The back cover contains the following description:
"The Great War may be over, but the battles continue. Rumors and facts are often confused in the aftermath. Depending on who you listen to, Prinzfeld is either under attack or perfectly safe. Turrosh Mak is on his way, with hordes of orcs at his command—ridiculous, he would never attept invasion at this time. Graf Twembly is being held hostage, and near death—no, he's just under the weather and hasn't felt like coming out of the castle lately. A dwarven prince has requested your party's aid in quelling the coming invasion (if there is one, of course). Do you take him at his honorable word, and gird yourselves for battle? Or do you listen to the street talk, and take the side of thse who would disbelieve the warmongering? Most importantly of all: what if you make the wrong choice?"
Plot Summary
Patriots of Ulek is an adventure for a party of six to eight characters of first to 3rd levels. The adventure is set in the world of Greyhawk, and the characters are summoned by the Prince of Ulek, who asks that the party investigate why his best troops, from the province of Prinzfeld, have not arrived to help resist the invasion of orcs from the Pomarj.
The adventure is divided into five chapters, The Prince, The Journey North, Prinzfeld, The Graf's Mansion, and The Defense of Prinzfeld. The chapters start from the first summons and request from Prince Olinstaad Corond to investigate the mystery of his missing troops, the trip north through a land beset by rumors and fear, the arrival in the apparently calm and peaceful province of Prinzfeld, investigating the mansion of the province's Graf, and finally a defense of Prinzfeld from an advance force of the invading Orcish army.
The adventurers are given clues and rumors to investigate and finally decide for themselves what is actually happening, and what actions should be taken, if any.
