Summary of the Adventure

The party starts out on a battlefield working for the Screaming Fist Brigade in an intense battle with a horde of goblins and hobgoblins near the town of Port Mirror. After the battle, you must escort the rescued prisoner, Kate Chist, to her home in Twigfront. As you travel across the continent, you encounter various monsters, miscreants, and other citizens of Wythmail. Crossing the Hullrum River leads to a battle and introduction to the various river pirates that prey on the river’s travelers. During the journey, you meet interesting NPCs and learn that Kora, the sister of the rescued prisoner, is alive and being held in a goblin cave in the Kamsby Mountains by an evil wizard named Stanek. Unfortunately, Stanek leaves the cave complex before you arrive, but you discover that experiments on animals and humans are being performed. Stanek is creating a fatal disease and testing it on captured prisoners.
