On this epic journey of magic and madness, our brave band of heroes is faced with trials and tribulations time and again.

Legend of the Hidden Temple / Black Isle

On the great broad ocean, sailing to a new land to the west, our intrepid brigade was attacked by pirates. Fending well for themselves, our band's ship was nonetheless sunk by the wicked guile of the enemy, and they floated through a storm to the Black Isle. Not content with simply sitting at port waiting for the next ship West, they journeyed the length and breadth of the isle.

Many were injured and one died, but came back easily enough. Not ones to be stopped, our heroes trudged on, eventually uncovering the pirate's hideout. Deafeting the pirates and heading back to town, they saw it wreathed in flame, the result of a violent and bloody slave rebellion inspired by a mysterious "White Lady." Helping in the halt of the rebellion, our adventurers discovered that magical influences had created the strange condition in the slaves.

Our adventurers then uncovered something even stranger: a shrine within the volcano, housing a ritual sacrifice to a strange god, "Elkis." Our adventurers stopped the ritual in the nick of time, but were shocked to find out the leader of the ceremony was non other than... Harris! How could this former slave and dock holder be an evil warrior heading a sacrifice to a dark god? With magic, that's how! Unfortunately, before anything could be done to help Harris' condition, he was killed by horrific magic. The party left the place more or less shaken.

Going back to town, they found most people leaving, the majority of the agriculture now in ruins and the town destablized. They decided to leave as well on a ship, accompanied by a powerful wizard and a red-haired woman claiming to be some sort of wandering do-gooder.

Their troubles behind them and the wind in their hair, our adventurers journey into the setting sun with billowing sails and warm hearts.

But always... there will be the dark scar that Elkis, or whatever force behind Him, has left on that small island...

Legacy of the Daywalker

No sooner had our intrepid gang set off on their voyage when they encountered a leviathan of the deep: the dreaded Kraken! Fighting tirelessly, they vanquished the dreaded beast, but not before it had taken the life of their resident spellcaster and firepower: Lueali!

Landing on ground, they located a temple that offered to resurrect their friend... for a price. After working out the contractual details, the body was taken into a room, wherein was performed the ritual. The party's joy was soon soured, however, as they found that they'd gotten more than they'd bargained for.

Upon taking their troubles to the temple head who had performed the ritual on them, they discovered that this man, this servant of the evil god Hextor, had planned the event all along. He paralyzed the party and set the temple on fire, leaving them to their deaths.

Lueali, using his ill-gotten powers, managed to free his friends from the fiery prison. They then all followed a trail of death southward through the forests, and along the way managed to acquire three new friends: the Druid Siansic, the wild woman Kate, and Araxin, a thunder mage serving the temple of Heironeous.

They emerged from the sweltering woodland and ascended the mountain range, soon reaching the abandoned frost-giant stronghold to which the priest had fled. They entered the dungeon, facing their dangers. During this time Lueali was captured, and the party scaled the tower to come to his rescue.

The monsters standing in their way were vanquished, and eventually they came to the chamber holding Lueali, the priest, and... Lueali! Strange and evil magic had taken effect, but the unhesitant party, letting nothing stand in their way, put the priest down and took the twins out of the tower safely.

After exiting the tower, they were faced by none other than a frost dragon. They vanquished this fearsome foe, and during this time caught sight of a mysterious stranger who vanished away like... well... a vanishing person.

The battle ended, the identity of the true Lueali came to light, while the other one disappeared in a column of purple flame. Oddly enough, the party located certain pieces of evidence that possibly indicated Elkis' involvement in the situation, but this could have been circumstantial...

After deciding to eliminate the priest for his unwillingness to assist the party in their information-finding, our group returned to the city and reported their findings back to the Temple's people. They received their generous reward for all their labor, met up with Scarlet, and shop't 'til they drop't.

But despite these celebrations, rumours of a great evil lurking in the land abound...
