Thousand Shrine Heroes

Hey,

So. 4th ed. I want to give the system a spin and I want to be behind the screen (because I think the new DM rules are awesome). Here's my pitch for the adventure I'd run with it:

Your village is a flickering candle in the darkness. The dark woods crowd in on all sides, filled with evil dangers. The only thing that preserves this refuge is the ceque, a line of shrines connected by a road to the heart of the village. The magical powers of the shrines flow along the road and spread their protection and blessings out to the people.

For as long as anyone can remember the shrines have kept the evil surrounding you at bay. But something has gone wrong. The shrines have been overrun and their magic is slowly being choked off. The village needs brave heroes to travel out along the road, away from the safety of the village, to inspect the shrines. The heroes must drive off any invaders occupying the shrines and if the shrines have been damaged, they must somehow restore them so that the magic flows again and the people will be safe.

----

So yeah, bunch of 1st level newbies hitting the road and trying to fix up some magic shrines to save the day. I'm aiming for a 3-hour game or so (so there can be a couple of fights to kick the tires).

ETA: Hoping for 4-5 players. Ideally, people have their characters ready to go when they show up to play. Ideally, everyone plays a human or halfling character (I'm not going to be a jerk about it, but it'd be nice). Best days are M, Th, Fr, and Sun for the foreseeable future. Let me know what days are good for you.
