Background

The Templar Order had become rather wary of the Tower to the west of Gorhart. Tredigar_Hackshield, the Templar prefect of magic, believed that a Well of Souls had been opened inside the tower. This might have been opened by Vistrum, but the Templars had no proof. Vistrum had headed to the tower and so, Tredigar headed to Gorhart, setup camp and tasked Thoradin Clearsight to investigate the tower. This is where our story begins.

The Village of Gorhart

The Templars had setup camp just outside Gorhart. Tredigar had asked Thoradin to gather a group of mercenaries to investigate the tower. They were tasked Thoradin assembled together Hikaxe Rhofarn & Norixius Oriwaffle. They made their preparations to leave Gorhart.

Before heading out, a colleague of Thoradin, Breya Cuttlescar approached the party warning them to be careful. She told Thoradin that she was going to investigate Tredigar. The party, especially with Thoradin having a great deal of trust in Breya, headed these words as they set out from Gorhart.

The Tower

When the party arrived at the tower, they found a line of rats heading down towards the basement. Intrigued, they decided to follow the rats which lead them to a prison cell. In the darkness there, the party met Solomon. Solomon was imprisoned by Vistrum to torture them for information. The party, saw freeing Solomon as a mutually beneficial relationship and they would work together to finish off Vistrum.


The party fought their way through various zombies as they made their way up the tower. At the top of the tower, they found Vistrum and the Well of Souls and yet more zombies. The party braced for a fight. Solomon in his rage, kicked Vistrum into the well, which closed behind him. The party were relieved, the zombies had taken quite a lot of strength to defeat and to manage to defeat Vistrum & close the well in one fell swoop was a great feeling. The party searched the tower, finding a partially burnt book containing Vistrum's Notes.

The triumphant return

The party made their way back to Gorhart, feeling triumphant. When they arrived, Tredigar ordered the Templars to attack Solomon, declaring them an abomination. Solomon was cleaved in twain and thing the party saw was Solomons pet rat darting into the bushes. Tredigar informs the party that he has been tracking two other wells, that he is begining to worry about; One to the south in Cael Nyalrim and one to the north in Etinmere. He tasks the party to go and close these wells, suggesting that they tackle the well in Etinmere first. The party, still unsure about Tredigar's motives due to Breya's intervention, decide they would rather tackle the south well first.
