Timeline of A King's Problem

## 1489 DR

### Skullfucker Bay

* The Skullfuckers Pirate Gang kidnap a large number of people to be slaves in their base of operations at Skullfucker Bay, Ithica.
* A small group of these new prisoners - Mocic Ashplantt, Baern Balderk, Brocc Ningel Stumbleduck Brightblade, and Guardiana Lessien Woodsoul were all lead into a colloseum to fight for the pirates' entertainment. An escape attempt was executed unsuccessfully, and as punishment Mocic and Guardiana had their noses cut off by the leader of the pirate gang: Drussus Skullskewer.
* Over the next few days the party forged alliances and agreements with the other prisoners. Brocc managed to broker an understanding with the imprisoned humans, headed by Zanthe of Leon, a princess from the northern Kingdom of Leon. Mocic formed a bond with the orcs following a bloody brawl, and ultimately the orcs, along with the humans, dwarves and hobgoblins within the dungeon united to overthrow their captors.
* Baern and Guardiana managed to locate a tunnel into the hobgoblin guards’ break room and the group burst in and killed the guards within, and from here staged their escape. The group descended on the colosseum to face Drussus Skullskewer and his fearsome crew, who opened fire with magical shooting sticks. Baern wildshaped into a bear and charged at the crew from one side with Brocc riding his back whilst Mocic and the orcs charged from the other, with Guardiana and the humans following up with ranged offensives.
* As the battle wore on the Skullfuckers were scythed down, and Brocc was able to steal two of the three magical shooting sticks from Skullskewer. After his crew were defeated Skullskewer challenged Mocic to one-on-one unarmed combat, which Mocic naively accepted. As Mocic gained the upper hand Skullskewer attempted to draw weapons but he was not able to turn them on Mocic and was defeated. Mocic realised his revenge and executed Skullskewer, taking his nose as a prize.
* As part of the agreement with the hobgoblin prisoners they were to be anointed the new leaders of Skullfucker Bay, with their head Festun to be the new chief. As he demanded the ceremonial shooting sticks be handed over to him Brocc opened fire, killing Festun. In the resulting melee with Festun’s remaining men Guardiana was struck down and killed.
* As the group handed over control of the territory to a dwarven ally from the dungeon, Falin, they renamed the bay Guardiana Bay in honour of their fallen friend, before commandeering one of the Skullfucker boats and sailing to Leon to return Zanthe and her people home.

### City of Leon

* It soon became apparent that the King, and as a result the Kingdom itself, had fallen under undue influence of a group of people headed by Grantham Epplestein. After failing to glean much information from former ministers of the Kingdom it was the fearsome soldier Constantin Baldor that shed most light on the situation including details of the relevant henchmen.
* The party drunkenly found their way to one of the high ranking henchmen's homes and began spying on the house to work out how viable an attempt on his life could be. Baern managed to find a way inside the house undetected, however he did not let Mocic and Brocc know, so when he did not return after five minutes they became concerned he had been discovered. In the ensuing chaos the henchman, his wife, and his three guards were all killed.
* Following reports of an unusual character acting suspiciously in the vicinity, Baern was wanted and tried for the killings. He was cleared of all charges at trial.
