Shadows of Doom
by Ed Greenwood
1995, TSR

There's a wizard Elminster who can't use magic except for his magic wands accompanied by  ranger Sharantyr, joined later by two Harpers, all of whom murder several hundred soldiers and wizards in the High Dale. I think we're supposed to already know who these people are and what they're up to. Read reviews that decried the basically 300 pages of murder hoboing in the middle, but this is honestly the minimum acceptable level of action.
