On to the Keep (Watch Out for the Ants)

After some recon in town, the adventurers journeyed out to the Keep on the Shadowfell to stop evil forces from opening a rift to the Shadowfell.

But before they could arrive, they were attacked by a swarm of ants that had been transformed by magic seeping through from another plane. The ants used fey mind-control and teleportation in an attempt to eat the adventurers' tasty flesh (particularly the flesh of spellcasters), but were ultimately defeated.

Healed up and finally arriving at the keep, the adventurers ventured down to the second level, battling hobgoblin grunts, soldiers, and a warcaster sending forth shock pulses from his staff. The adventurers bravely fought the hobgoblins, defeating them and plundering their valuables.

Watch out!

Meeting in Winterhaven

A group of ragtag adventurers met in the small town of Winterhaven, each brought there for their own reasons but banding together for a common cause. They met over dinner at the inn, stayed overnight, and explored the town.

They quickly learned of a growing evil at the old Keep on the Shadowfell and of goblin slavers who kidnapped several townsfolk.

They met Lord Padraig, leader of Winterhaven, who agreed to pay the group 400 gp if they are able to stop the evil forces at the keep. They spoke with Valthrun the Prescient, who shared his knowledge of the keep's connection to the Shadowfell. They met Delphina Moongem, a wild elf who sells flowers at Market Square, who confirmed the goblin tribe's activities at the keep. Finally, they spoke with Sister Lenora, who offered her rituals, including raise dead should the need arise.

Zombies, Skeletons and Sir Keegan himself

SWAG blasted through the crypt of the Keep, fighting past skeletons and zombies animated from the dead long buried in the Keep.

After passing an altar to Bahamut, they then opened a crypt containing the skeleton of the fallen paladin Sir Keegan, who bestowed on the group Aecris, his trusted magical short sword.

Vermin Hordes Attack!

When we last left off, the adventurers leveled up to Level 2 and continued their exploration of the Keep on the Shadowfell, following an eerie ghostlike child's moan into caverns under the first floor of the keep.

There they encountered a dozen giant rats and a large ochre jelly, whose acid proceeded to dissolve and attempt to consume the brave paladin, Alain. The group defeated the monsters and the paladin was saved.












The group then entered the lair of a horde of sharp-clawed kruthik, which surrounded and began to consume the brave paladin, Alain. After a long battle, the kruthik were defeated and all members of SWAG survived to claim the kruthik's treasure.

The group then descended stairs to a small natural pool. As they approached, something stirred below the dark surface of the water...
