PCs: Garreth, Markus, Shadowfang
Garreth, the valiant human knight, and Markus, the skilled elven artisan, traverse the treacherous Drakmar Pass when their journey takes an unexpected turn. A wounded figure lies on the road, mortally injured by an arrow. Summoning the last of his strength, the old man bequeaths them a fragment of a statuette along with cryptic words urging them to "continue in his search" before succumbing to his injuries.
The duo's moment of grief is abruptly interrupted by an ambush orchestrated by goblins, led by a formidable worg rider. Despite the formidable challenge, Garreth and Markus prevail after a strenuous struggle, overcoming the assailants. Undeterred, they press on through the pass and finally arrive at the town of Outskirt. After a short conversation, the captain of the guard lets them in.
Seeking answers, they make inquiries at the Three Stags inn, where they're welcomed by Vagnhild and Annabella. The two women reveal that the old man had lodged there. Opting to rent the same room (after forging a brand new key at the local smithy), the adventurers unveil a startling revelation— the deceased was a cultist devoted to the ancient demon lord, Sathmog. The deceased's journals disclose a sinister quest to unearth ancient artifacts in the Misty Valley, intending to herald the return of his dark master.
Retreating to the common room to deliberate on their findings, the adventurers encounter Shadowfang, a wolfkin mage with knowledge of the Misty Valley. Recognizing the dire nature of the quest, Shadowfang, seasoned in the mystic arts, offers to join their party. His expertise makes him an invaluable ally as they embark on the perilous quest to retrieve the missing pieces of the statuette and thwart the resurgence of the malevolent Sathmog.
