Well, that felt very much like a game around a table. These are dodgy but fun characters occasionally with equally cheesy accents and the story spends a lot of time discussing which way to go next. The party picks up an orphan, then they rename her and bring her along for the adventure. 

It's largely a very typical setting, a party are hired to deal with various menaces to the citizens of the Keep. This would be a great one for kids to read, it's straightforward and the party itself is made up of very young heroes. 

I had a bit of fun reading this.
