### Adventure Hook

***"Our tale begins on a day like any other in the city of Quaid, a city divided into five quadrants. The Old City, where the poor and the unscrupulous reside. Merchant Quarters, home to many shops and the Inn where our heroes now reside. Guild Quarters where all the skilled crafters reside. Noble Quarters, the largest section of the city. And finally, the keep itself. A large stone stronghold, home to the King of the Felkphine KIngdom.***

***Regardless of whether our heroes journeyed or lived in Quaid, they are here now, in the trading hub of the eastern world. Lately, rumors have been going around about strange creatures that have been raiding villages in the Caltraan forests and even supposedly small towns outside it. And while these rumors are spreading around, they are surprisingly not everyone's focus on this day. Most of the Residents are quiet, and somber as but a year ago, the former king had been buried on a site northeast of Quaid.***

***The mourning citizens considered the former king, Hane Kasra, to be the greatest king by far, and the bards are already singing songs about the lost king and his mighty tales of slaying a dragon, and defending the castle nigh on singlehandedly.***

***The other citizens, however, have something newer to focus on. Everywhere in the city, strange flyers have been posted wherever they could be. Some on notice boards. Some on doors. Some even stuffed into the window frame of random houses.***

***Regardless of their reasons, each of our heroes has picked one of these up, intrigued as to what these meant, and are here at 'The King and Cauldron', waiting for news on this flyer. While the tavern normally has a noise of rowdy merrymen, there is a silence that hangs in the air. A great tension hangs in the air as everyone seems to be waiting for something." - Chaotic***

## The Stream Begins

### The Beginning

Eventually, a man with graying short brown hair and a trimmed beard walks into the room. He walks over to the center of the tavern with the gait of a soldier who's seen many years of combat. "I thank you all for coming," he says in this gruff voice of a person who's probably spent many years yelling at recruits, "However I'm only interested in a small number of people to handle this job. if  you are unskilled, you may leave."

A large crowd of people murmur to themselves as they exit the tavern clearly upset.

"If you have a known criminal history, you may leave."

Another small crowd of people leaves the tavern clearly angry. All that remains are our five heroes and two others.

An old Dwarf, geared head to toe in steel. He has a long beard braided into a tight line that dips from his jaw. He has a long gnarled scar that crosses over his right eye.

And a young man wearing a hood. The only thing that can be seen of his face is a strange marking on his neck in the shape of a paw.

"Now that you are all here, I presume you are all here about the job" The general asks.

The party all gives answers an affirmative, before declaring that there will be a trial to test their skill in combat. He leads them outside to the large square outside the tavern.

The general tells everyone that the minotaur is a very real threat, and that there was already a raid on a city of Soleii, and that thankfully there weren't too many losses. He tells them that to see if they're ready to handle this kind of threat they need to face one another in single combat. He ask their names, and they all give a truthful answer except Boda who calls himself 'Dori".

The General pits "The one who looks like she can fight" against "The one who looks like they'd rather handle an instrument"

Yvette rushes forward, sidestepping Tamani slashing the back of her knees, and she falls to the ground wounded and yielding.

The general then pits "The Frog Thing" against "the shifty dwarf? Elf? in the back"

June rushes forward and thrusts his dagger into Boda's abdomen. Despite being wounded, Boda, slips around June, attempting to thrust his dagger into the butt of his opponent, but June manages to dodge, the blade barely missing June's cheek. June brings his blade back into the chest of Boda, causing the dwelf to surrender.

Finally the general pit Athena against the shifty rogue.

The rogue steps towards Athena stabbing her in the shoulder, causing her to fall to the ground. The blade, however, had been poisoned. Thankfully, Athena was able to handle the dose of the poison that had been afflicted to her by the blade.

The General looks at the five members of the Orgy, telling them that they will be fine for the task he has for them. He tells the old Dwarf that the man is a little beyond his years for a task of this nature. He then finally tells the rogue that he cannot trust him and that he must leave. He then hands each of the members of The Orgy five large pouches filled with 1000 gold pieces each, giving them to the party.

He tells the party that they have two days to prepare themselves before they head to where they need to go. He tells them that they must head to the strip of land between the Caltraan Forests and the Norhajj Desert to scout for any minotaur activity.

Athena spends the first day buying herbs and performing a ritual to her father, Cassis.

Boda buys 5 potions. He eventually looks around for an enchanter's shop and he finds one with a sign hanging outside, however, the exterior of the building looks abandoned and decrepit, but when he enters the interior is more lively, with strange and wondrous artifacts all over the room. There's a strange old woman who peers down at Boda asking what it is he wishes to buy today. He asks to enchant his clothes to make it harder to see him. Boda admits he doesn't have enough but asks if 100 less will do. The woman pauses before saying that she could cut him a deal. He promises to return with a Toltris Crystal, and he can have it for half of what Boda offered. Boda agrees and leaves his clothes there to enchant them, before heading back to the tavern.

June buys three potions.

Tamani buys a Potion of Hill Giant's Strength and six health potions. She also buys a pitcher of Caldarin Ale, which is a strong drink, but she manages to hold his drink only gaining a bit of a buzz. She buys Boda a pitcher of the same at the same time as Yvette buying Boda wine, resulting in the Dwelf getting shit-faced.

Yvette buys 4 potions. She also buys a silver flask with gold bevels on the corners.

The party wakes up Boda, who has a massive hangover, before exiting the city.

### The Journey

Fifteen minutes out on the road, they see a group of bandits, including the shifty one from earlier, Albax. He and seven others, all with the same wolf paw tattoos on their necks. Some of the party remember information about the group, remembering that 'The Wolf's Paw' was originally a mercenary organization about ten years ago, but their leader died in combat. The leader who took over caused a schism within the group, and many members left. The ones that remained became bandits under the new leader's rule. These members are part of the bandits.

> "I've been waiting for you. You're the ones who got that quest, aren't you? You have two ch oices here. You hand over your gold that you got from that, and you can go on your very merry way. Or me and my men will slice your throats" - Albax

The group talk amongst themselves, with most of the party wishing to negotiate, and attack should the negotiations not work.

Yvette walks up, as the distraction, talking to them, with Boda sneaking behind them, not a single bandit batting an eye, all wishing the bard to play a song, who does. And while the bandits enjoy the tune that Yvette plays for them they don't seem willing to let them all go without the gold or their lives.

She offers the bandits an orgy with the female members of the party, and while the majority of the bandits's ears perk up ready for an orgy, Albax stares at her and refuses her offer.

Athena casts *Entangle* at the center of the bandit group, causing a wave of vines gnarling and tangling people within the vines. Boda and Tamani dodge out of the way of the vines, narrowly avoiding a vine that was attempting to curl around their legs. Yvette, however, finds herself stuck in a slew of vines tangling around her body.

June goes up to Yvette hacking away at the vines, one at a time, eventually freeing Yvette.

One of the bandits twists around slashing his sword at the nearest target, which just so happened to be Tamani. His blade finds purchase into Tamani's arm drawing blood.

Athena moves closer to Tamani, casting *Healing Word* causing a ray of light emanating from her hands which surround Tamani, healing her wounds.

Yvette plays a song on her flute inspiring Boda, before moving closer to two bandits casting *Thunder Wave* at the bandits.

Boda sneaks up on Albax, slicing into his shoulder blade.

One of the bandits rushes upon Boda slashing into his side.

Another bandit looks off at the big breasted woman holding a sword with a fervor, preferring to keep his distance, and fires a crossbow at the woman, but misses wildly.

Another bandit backs up into the treeline, shooting a crossbow at Boda, the bolt piercing his shoulder, causing the man to fall to the ground, slowly bleeding out.

Tamani moves through the large group of bandits to reach Boda, getting sliced in the elbow by only one of the four bandits, dodging and jumping over the attacks of the rest. She then shoves a potion down his throat, healing him.

One of the bandits spins around and tries to slash at Yvette, who leans back as the blade just barely passes by her neck.

Another of the bandits attempts to slice at Tamani, who knocks the blade away with her own sword. The bandit, irritated at missing twice, moves over towards June, grappling him and carrying him away.

The combat continues as normal for a while until Albax slices his scimitar into Tamani's chest, before swirling around and in one motion slices again into her chest, severely wounding her, before plunging a dagger into Boda's chest.

One of the bandits, seeing Tamani still standing, severely wounded, holding her guts in, ready to fight, flees from combat. Yvette turns and shoots her crossbow at the bandit, her bolt plunging into the center of his back, piercing all the way through and severing his spine as blood spurts out of his chest and he falls to the ground motionless.

Eventually, Yvette casts *Thunderwave* on Albax, causing the lightning to weave up his body towards his head causing his eyes to bulge before popping in an explosion of blood and gore, as his head starts to blacken being charred from the inside out. Eventually, he falls to the ground, his head turning to ash.

After three days of journeying, they make their way to the region they've been tasked to go. They set up camp and Boda keeps watch for the first night. He doesn't see anything the first night, thinking that he saw something during the night, but it turned out to be a deer.

Yvette takes watch the second night, and at some point in the night, she sees in the forest two figures lurking in the dark. She can see the figures are minotaurs as well as a smaller form with a flash of red and gold. The two minotaurs go by before six more go by. On the other side, a similar party of minotaurs in the desert seem to be heading to a small settlement near Quaid.

Yvette ran back to the party and played her flute to wake everyone up. The party decided to move on towards Soleii, as that was Athena's hometown.

Eventually, they make their way to Soleii but don't make it in time. There were many destroyed buildings, and corpses littering the ground. Athena looked among the corpses and didn't see her adoptive parents there. They do, however, find a straggler minotaur.

A bright golden light descends from the sky, and June appears next to the party having been freed by Cassis.

June shoots his bow at the minotaur, his arrow striking the minotaur in the shoulder. Yvette at the same time shoots her crossbow at the minotaur, the bolt embedding in the minotaur's torso. It tried to grab at the arrow but kept missing the shaft.

Without warning, a Straid man rushes around the corner, charging out a spell in hand, ready to fight.

Athena casts *Produce Flames*, but the flames rise up with the minotaur looking down, cockily grunting as it does.

Carnage casts *Poison Spray* on the minotaur, poisoning the creature.

Boda shoots an arrow at the minotaur, embedding another arrow in its torso.

Tamani charges up towards the minotaur, stabbing with her rapier. She stabs it in its stomach with her rapier as its guts start spilling from the open wound.

The Minotaur swings at Tamani slashing its battleax across Tamani's midsection, creating a long wound.

Spooky attempts to shoot his bow at the minotaur but the arrow passes by wildly.

Yvette plays a song on her flute to inspire Athena, before moving up towards Tamani and giving her a potion. She stabs the minotaur in the wound that had been caused by Tamani, slicing up along it's stomach.

Athena blows her dart, but it slams against a wall behind the Minotaur. It grunts in confusion.

Carnage attempts to climb up the roof of the building on the right side, but narrowly misses a handhold and falls to the ground knocking Tamani backward. Eventually, Tamani pushes carnage back and stabbed her rapier into the minotaur's grundle slicing upwards, cutting its package in half. Keeping her momentum, the blade slices up towards it's neck, killing it.
