The Last Crusaders

When I stayed in the keep of Warad for some months, a scribe named Mothyev, who once held office in the Lord’s court, recounted to me a terrible event that occurred but a year before the plant’s opening.As the fair Mothyev told me, in the year 1504, their lord Warad and his court were approached by a group of five travellers from the West. They were seeking to dig on her lord’s land at the Plain of the Five Sisters, a stretch of land near the spring of a tributary of the Vikreux that held five great willows. For what end, they did not afford her lord the luxury of knowing, but their request was a great one, and they seemed untrustworthy. Lord Warad was cunning to every end, and he knew how to strike a deal. Now Warad was troubled, for the aforementioned Kerosene and Tar refinery was yet being built, perhaps almost completed, and if it were, the Vreilands would be forever tainted. So he said to the travellers, ‘Bring me the head of Vittoro Cassalanter, or you cannot enter my lands’. With that he sent them away, doubtful they would succeed. To his surprise, some days later, the travellers returned again, and they had a sackcloth bag. Before the court of Warad, they upturned it, and out fell indeed the severed head of the patriarch of the Cassalanter family. Warad was much pleased by this, and agreed to allow the adventurers passage into his lands.- Fira Nazar's The Travels, recounting how she heard of the Crusaders from a scribe of Warad.
Last Crusaders, also known as the Questers for the Unholy Grail, were a small group of evil adventurers that adventured in 1504.
They were comprised of a rag-tag cast:
* Ben'e'fli'ict Cou'moni'mila'atsh (Beneflict Cumonmylatch), a Xantic tortle barbarian
* Oriphine, a drow warlock
* Nameless, a tiefling bard
* Tyban Axeforge, a gnome inventor from Waterdeep
* Daemon Auburn, a knight.
They followed the trail of an ancient artifact out of Waterdeep and into the western Danderillon. Along the way, Beneflict killed both Venom Neverember and Tolen Gold-Dust, two Naysayers; the former for refusing to comply with an interrogation, and the latter at Cassalanter Kerosene and Tar under the direction of Warlord Warad the Mad. By Warad's order, thye killed Vittoro Cassalanter. 
They got into a heated violent argument with the Vreigardt goblins of Warad's camp, and ended up all dying in the ensuing fight.
