D&D Pre-Game 9-15-18 Part 2


News of the giant and barbarian issues tricked down through the city of Stonekeep. The city elders had decided to pay for scouting parties to investigate the rumors of these apparent rumors of numerous giants and or ogres invading the lands. After three parties did not return people backed off volunteering to investigate the South West hills and farm lands.
Well that was until the town upped the price and four adventurers thought it was easy money, had nothing better to do or just hated the other options for work around the area.
 
Since the death of their barbarian friend (and the fallout surrounding the return of his human noble family….who arrived to claim the body their tower stronghold, the tavern that was almost finished and 1/3 of their collected fortune) the dragonborn rouge, human monk and occasional elven bard had no home, no job prospects and were looking for something to take their minds off their new homeless situation. The monk happily took the job to investigate these giant/ogre rumors. It seems he has a secret like of killing giants that the party was unaware of. The trio made their way to the stables to procure transport.
 
While at the stables the party’s conversation drew the attention of one of the stable hands. He introduced himself as Chet and offered to aid in this mission. See Chet was a simple farmer, but after the gnoll attacks around Clovershire Keep he had come North looking for a job. His farm had been sacked in the attacks and now he was working in the city and sending back what money he made to his family. His combat prowess was…lacking is a good term, but he was no stranger to a bow. He had even put his meager archery skills to use during those gnoll attacks. The idea of making 100 gold crowns, which is more money than he had ever seen in his life, for just a simple scouting mission was too hard to pass up. The trio welcomed him and his bow to the party.
 
The quartet of adventures made their way out of Stonekeep and rode off to the lands Southwest in search of giants!
