Pearce Loggins, Rokir Deathbane, Slosh, Aurick Sunstrider, Cavo, Benjamin Wayde, and Revara all find themselves at a tavern, the Left Hook in the city of New Lokon on the Orc Island of Tiji. Their reason matters not, for their fate is all the same. The party is tasked by a local man named Baron to obtain a potion that will return his daughter to her original form, as she has been turned into a troll and is due to be married to the guard captain's son.
They party agrees and contends with Fizzy Fitzwater, who they get the potion from, assisting Baron, killing Fizzy's flesh golem in the process.
Zird Stabspear, a local goblin has been causing a ruckus in the region. The party is hired by the town guard to go clear them out, as the war effort has left them shortstaffed to deal with lesser issues. The party heads to Zird's hideout, Stabspear Dungeon. The party slays some goblins, solves some traps. Zird gets away.
Returning to the city with plentiful goblin ears to trade for coin, the party is given Jr. Detective badges.
The party sleeps at the Left Hook.
The party is summoned to City Hall to speak with a man named Winsington, leader of the home owners association. He inquires the party's interest in purchasing property in the city. The guard captain, Kintus pulls the party aside and requests that the party that some Rorcs have set up a camp near the city, and requests their aid to clear them out.
It's a three day journey to the camp, and the detectives meet Old Man Eugene on the way, who asks for their help getting back to the city. A traveling salesman gives the party free expired treats.
At the Orc Camp, the party is greeted by Bloodhammer Ironsteel von Deathface's band of Orcs, a fierce Rorc warlord. The Jr. Detectives manage to kill the Rorcs in the camp, claiming their loot as their own.
On the way back, they see a group of Orc prisoners being escorted by Lamtonese Soldiers. The party decides to free the orcs and take the soldiers captive before returning back to the inn.
The New Lokton city guard surrounds the party upon at dawn, with the company of a special forces wizard and druid. They stand trial for freeing Orc prisoners. They are dragged through the streets and brought to the courthouse, where attorney at law, Boone Johnson, is their public defender.
Ben Wade using his expert charm is able to assist Boone in their argument, reaching a plea. Due to a hilarious mixup, all of the Lamtonese reinforcements were on vacation during a raid on one of their keeps, Keep Kintus, which is happening right now. In exchange for having their names cleared, the party will defend the keep from the invading Rorcs. The party sets off immediately, masking haste through the thunder and lightning to reach the keep.
Along the way, the party schemes about their plan. They also stop at an umbrella shop and get a magical umbrella.
The keep is a scene of Carnage, dead Rorcs and Elves lie in every direction, with arrows sticking out of their bodies and some charred beyond recognition. The party makes the bold decision to betray Lamton and join the Rorcs, slaughtering them.
The remaining elves attempt to run as a Rorc banner now hangs over the newly named, Fort Rory. The party is made honorary Rorcs and given a room in the keep to sleep in .
Bloodhammer Ironsteel von Deathface, once rival turned commander instructs the party to travel to Krubed, a fortified mercantile trading city of the Veneg orcs. As a reward for their betrayal, the party is gifted Dimensional Shackles and The Belt of Dwarvenkind.
They then make their way towards the desert, fighting some skeletons and cultists along the way. The party also meets Finde Irongut. A Dwarf from the continent Vostos using Tijan moss to create tasty ale. Having trouble selling it, the party agrees to take some of his stock and sell it on his behalf, for a hefty cut of the profits.
Before reaching the city, the party is ambushed by a young Blue Dragon that nearly wipes them out. They're able to reach Krubed all intact, but barely.
Our heroes found themselves trapped in the city of Krubed by vicious sandstorm. After igniting the fires of revolution, they killed Chief Plorbo of Krubed and his men, claiming the town for The Redeemers. They are a coalition of Orcs that wish to unite against the Elven kingdom.
The party now holds Plorbo's gem, a powerful artifact that controls the sandstorm. With this in their possetion, they went to sleep. It's now the next morning at the tavern, and Grog is no where to be found.
The town right now is surreal, many people wander around outside, still trying to cling to their daily routines as if nothing has happened. The Redeemers parade around the town on their sandsailor, doing victory laps dragging the dead chief's body behind it, painting the sands a deep maroon. There is a note nailed to your door. It's from General Prian it reads, in Elven and Common,
"You have been summoned to the Guard Barracks at your earliest convenience. General Prian of Galeran's Army wishes to hold council."
The party, now pardoned by the general heads to New Lokton.
A rogue named Five Fingered Remy hires the party to assassinate a cheating woman in New Lokton.
The party is attacked by Irroth the Protective Irroth is a Wyvern, ridden by the monk known as Zehk. Zehk has been sent on a "Spirit Quest" by his leaders.
The party awakens in a tavern formerly known as Grog's Mead Hall. Before leaving town, Bloodhammer Ironsteel formally gave the Tavern as a gift to the party for their aid in capturing the city. They're also gifted slave, Ronald, they immediately change his name to Bobby and give him ownership of the tavern while they travel.
On the way back to New Lokton, the party stops in at Irongut Ale and relays with their business partner Finde. As they reached the forest from outside the desert, they met Marshall an Aarracokra living in the cloud city of Status far above Tiji. Along a river, the party is attacked by Zird Stabspear and his gang of Goblin Sorcerers.
In the forest, the party meets two refugees, Zlog and Bolar who they eat some stew with.
The party sleeps in the woods, warmed by the nice Tijan Moss forming a soft bed underneath.
After getting a good nights rest, Bobby calls on the cell stone and informs the party of the tavern's success last night. They continue onward, heading to New Lokton. They fight Zird Stabspear's descendant, Zird Stabspear III. Arriving in New Lokton, the party notices changes.
There are now guard posts every thousand feet on the road that leads into town. The city appears to be much more heavily fortified, with giant catapults sitting on top of the walls.
Inside the walls has also changed. There are very few people in plainclothes around, almost everyone is wearing some sort of Galeran's army uniform, be they scouts, soldiers, mages, or captains. The streets are impeccably clean. For every fifty or so Elves that you see, you spot a Veneg Orc or two among them. During their travel time, General Prius, their patron, has gone missing and General Caius has taken over the city with martial law and is planning a huge offensive on the Rorcs. He orders the party to use their fighting prowess to rid them of a group of anti-magic bounty hunters, The Steelhearts to prove their allegiance. The party does not comply, and is banished from New Lokton.
The party had stayed at an old Orc's cottage the night previous, and heads to the arena. On the way, they are attacked by a group of Nikiv orcs using Steelheart items to counter the party's magic. They defeat the orcs, claiming a decanter of endless water and a magical sweatband that makes the user grow an afro. The party passes through a battleground with dead orcs and elves all over the place.
Reaching the arena, they find the disgraced General Prian, with a reverse beartrap around his head- as punishment he was forced to fight in The Arena. He informs the party of a magical item, The Vorpal Sword, which is in the hands of General Caius. The gang, angered that he didn't have the sword himself activates the beartrap, brutally killing him. They decide to head north back to their tavern.
On a large rockface, the party fights off a horde of Blue Dragon Wyrmlings.
On the journey, the party encounters a troll on a bridge that demands they pay a troll toll before crossing. Each member gives an item that passes the toll- anything with a name with two adjacent letters, like "arrow" or "copper."
Arriving at Krubed, the town has changed. It's rebuilt since the revolution in Rorcish fashion. The party heads to their tavern.
The party awakens to find the city being attacked by Thri Kreen, strange mantis-like monsters. They help the Rorcs fight them off Bobby informs the party that a local wizard, Dunwall wants to see them by the Oasis. He informs the party of a poweful magic item inside of a dungeon of the Oasis. The Thri Kreen were sent to awaken GOLIZARN THE WICKED, a slumbering defender of the magic item.
Inside the dungeon, a group of Steelhearts and their rust monsters beat down the gang, forcing them to run.
The party heads back into the dungeon, armed with a new powerful amulet- defeating the remaining Steelhearts that had chased them earlier. They delve deeper, finding a hidden cultish chapel with an inscription on the wall "Prophet of doom, may he guard us against intruders."
Skeletons attack the party, ushering a phrase "Only the chosen may enter." The party annihilates them.
In a later room, the party meets a friendly skeleton wearing a floral shirt as well as Travis, a small bonsai tree smoking from a pipe. The skeleton, Ximon informs the party that Golizarn the Wicked was created by Gruumsh to protect the Orcs from outside forces, recently he has been stirring in his sleep. He was chosen as the guardian of the tomb because he is the most patient out of all the Veneg, and that he who defeats Golizarn while wearing the Crown of Decay will be imbued with a mighty power, and be considered a champion of the god Gruumsh.
In a humid room with vines and trees surrounding all the walls there is a creature that resembles a plant. It has leaves for hands feet and a head, and stems connecting it all. He announces himself as Lief, an emissary of the Tomb of the Ancients, an inter-planar travel hub. He requests the party's aid in destroying the Mycanoids spawn from spores all over this room- in exchange for giving the party access to the Tomb of the Ancients. The party does so, Lief thanking them for their efforts.
So ended the tale of Pearce Loggins, Rokir Deathbane, Slosh, Aurick Sunstrider, Cavo, Benjamin Wayde, and Revara. It is unknown if they ever had escaped the Oasis. Some say that they're still down there. Others say they entered the Tomb of the Ancients, leaving behind the warring Tiji. What is known, is that to this day Tiji is stuck in perpetual war, waiting for some champion to turn the tide of the confict.
