When the Wandering Blades left Fallcrest (their village of origin), they knew not where they were going. Truly, the Dungeon Master, in his all-knowing state did not know where they were going.

But they were going to Elroost.

Capital of Elrya, mighty onlooker over the great plains, Elroost towered above the world and the characters with it.

It did not take them long to find work. A merchant (a prominent member of House Vandrennon, although the Blades did not yet know it), had lost contact with his cousin in the lands northwest of the Teeth of the World. And so, after they had barely been in the city for a day, they were off again.

The journey north was no doubt an ordeal, but let us speak not of it here, as it was uneventful in the grand scheme of things.

Upon arriving in the small village—in which this adventure takes place—our heroes could not find the woman they had been sent to find (they did, however, find Malark). They also learned of many strange disappearances. Eventually they sourced the disappearances to a group of magic-users who had infiltrated the village. Tracing them to their underground meeting place, the group quickly dispatched the guards, and continued down into the belly of the world.

In the caves they saw many evil creatures, the least of which were four-armed, two-headed goblin-like creatures (this is when Rothen rolled a 1 and got clubbed in the dick). The party was led by Kratos and his flaming sphere, which he used to conveniently block hallways and incinerate

At the end of the network of caves, the party discovered a terrifying, meaty room, filled with the presence of black magic. In the center was a Khyber shard, and around the walls were the unconscious forms of the villagers, their souls being used to power the crystal.

Needless to say the Blades freed them all and then returned victorious to the surface… but minus one of their members.

Their new friend, Malark Denire.

Malark had been lured off into the caves by Kratos’ use of arcane trickery. Throwing his voice with magic, he lured Malark away as a classic prank, then completely forgot that Malark had been left in the caves.

The rest of the party just assumed that he had gone his own way.

The Great Werewolf Hunt
After their victory in Malareth’s Twisting Halls, the guild was brought together a second time to eliminate the threat of a beast said to walk in the night, kidnapping people at the full moon and leaving their shredded corpses in the woods. The Wandering Blades heard tell that it had captured a maiden, and was preparing some nefarious scheme with her, no doubt, for it had left her alive rather than killing her.

On the way to the village, the Wandering Blades robbed a jewelry store to acquire silver for their weapons. A dark and illegal time in their history (I’m pretty sure that they beat up the store owner). We shall speak no more of it.

Upon arriving in the village, the group discovered that it was the mayor’s daughter, a beautiful maid, had gone missing, and that there were rumours that the beast who had taken her roamed the woods to the north. Luckily for our heroes, this time the beast was not as careful with covering it’s tracks. The Blades tracked it to it’s mountain lair in the dead of night.

Upon entering the cave, they soon found that this plot was much thicker than they had assumed. For as they entered the caves of the Children of the Moon, they found that the cult who resided there were intent on sacrificing this maiden to a werewolf.

But they weren’t able to because the party murdered them all.

Zarok the Fierce, Kratos the Lizard Wizard, Aelius the Tactician, Torrin of House Naddar, Rothen the Silent and Peekay the Divine. A motley crew of individuals with one like-minded vision: money, treasure, fame and fortune.

The Twisting Halls
The band was brought together by Zarok, the fearsome warrior, to find out the secrets behind a mysterious man, who had goblins serving him. A long series of battles ensued, their weapons and clothes becoming stained with the blood of goblinkind. Upon reaching a large room in the middle of the dungeon, the group came upon a young white dragon, with whom they talked. Eventually they convinced him not to murder them, and continued on their way (meanwhile conspiring to return and murder him on their return trip out of the dungeon). The group reached the necromancer’s inner sanctum and slew him, fighting their way past a zombie ogre to do so.

Once the group returned to the site of the dragon, they found instead a glowing blue circle of runes, and the dragon’s great hoard of treasure—and the dragon—were both gone. Untroubled by this, however, due to their recent victory, the adventurers returned to the town of Fallcrest in search of greater glory.
