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!
