There’s a treasure buried deep within the Earth. And the only way to enter the hot, labyrinthian corridors that lead to it are hidden away in the middle of a dangerous volcano.

The party has entered the ancient ruins. They’ve successfully overcome many challenges in their way. And many monsters they have slayed.

But there’s just one more test of skill they must pass before they’re able to reach the fabled treasure at the end of these ruins.

Still lost, the adventurers trek through the forest without a clear direction. They’ve been traveling for days now, and are nowhere near finding their way.

It all started in a crossroads, the bard insisting the group should take a right turn. It seemed the right choice at the time. Nobody questioned the decision. But soon enough they came to the realization that something was wrong.

The adventurers have had some very stressful weeks. Encounter after encounter has left them with broken bones, deep cuts, concussions, and unfortunately, one death.

The group of heroes entered the icy cave where the dragon made its lair. The frost-covered shield of the paladin raised up in anticipation for the fight to come, the rest follow behind.

Looking for ancient ruins, the group of heroes ventures into a mist-shrouded swamp. The air was thick with the stench of decay, and glowing eyes began to stalk them from all directions.

A harsh winter like no other has come. Blizzards rage, making the need for shelter all the more important. The group of heroes arrive at the city, its gates tightly guarded. They somehow manage to past by, and they head to the city’s center.

It’s time for some rest and relaxation far away from all the adventures that have taken a toll on the parties’ minds and bodies. They book a cabin near a quiet river, a remote place where no other soul can be seen for miles and miles.

There’s an elusive group of people, said to be master artisans of powerful weapons. They travel from place to place, searching for rare materials and exotic craftsmanship passed down through generations.

The first snow of the year has arrived. And with it, the cold now grasps the lush woods of the kingdom. On their journey, the heroes meet some peculiar folks at a camp nearby.
