PCs: Garreth, Markus, Thekla, Thistle -> Aino
In Outskirt, amidst the rugged wilderness, the party encounters Thistle, a spirited young halfling hunter yearning for excitement. Eager for adventure, Thistle eagerly joins their ranks, serving as their knowledgeable guide through the enigmatic Misty Vale to their next destination.
Their journey leads them to Oracle Cave, a reputed site steeped in tales of dark rituals and human offerings. Here, they encounter a band of orcs led by Agra, faithful followers of the orc chieftain Maladuk. The orcs harbor no hostility towards the party.
Venturing into the depths of the cave, the party confronts a menacing horde of monstrous spiders infesting its shadows. Amidst a fierce battle against a swarm of spiderlings, tragedy strikes as Thistle falls, sacrificing his life to fend off the relentless onslaught. Despite the loss, the party valiantly overcomes the arachnid threat, albeit with heavy hearts.
As they regroup by the warmth of the orc campfire for respite, their solitude is interrupted by the arrival of Aino, a resolute wolfkin hunter on a personal vendetta against the monstrous mother spider that ravaged his kin. Recognizing a shared purpose, Aino willingly allies himself with the party, forging a bond bound by a common quest for vengeance.
