::::::The Setting::::: Long ago, a small but mighty humanoid kingdom existed in what is now the local wilderness. Bugbear and ogre warriors fought brutal wars of expansion, earning great fame and amassing considerable fortunes from their predations. Those who died in battle were buried in large tomb complexes dug into hillsides and honored as patrons of the living. Among these tombs was the large tor known as Hightower. Though it was neither the largest nor the most famous of the kingdom's tombs, Hightower did represent a typical example of this kind of structure. As happens to all such nations, the cruel humanoid kingdom eventually fell to a more powerful foe that razed all its cities and outlying fortifications. Of the tombs, only Hightower escaped destruction -- largely because it was an unimportant monument in a remote location. A few tribes of humanoids that survived the devastation tried to use it as a fortress, but the humans with whom they clashed defeated them soundly and sealed the entrance with a huge, round stone to ensure that the tor could no longer be used as a base. Since then, Hightower has served as a landmark for travelers in the know, but it has otherwise been largely forgotten. But the electrical storms that have plagued the area in recent days have been quite severe, and a few weeks ago, a stray lightning bolt broke open the stone seal. Tonight, yet another terrible storm is sweeping through the wilderness, driving all creatures to take shelter where they can find it. Hightower looms on the horizon, and its door is no longer blocked. Will the Adventurers dare to enter its silent halls?
---- Honor in Ashes --- Prelude pt.1 It was a gloomy night. The torches the usually light up the city of Stonewind are all dim and barely holding their flames. Of course Stonewind this kind of weather was the norm for the beaten down city. The winds whipping the heavy snowfall into a hurricane of small little razor blades. Although this weather would bring a normal man to their knee's in this city there was none of that. Nothing showed that better than the oldest and shadiness of Inn's; The Drunken Unicorn. Inside of the Drunken Unicorn there is nothing but laughter and glee, knowing how it looked on the outside it should be filled with run down, slaves and bums just trying to cheer themselves out. This was not the case though. Although indeed there seemed to be shady characters inside the bar, most if not all on this night seemed to be normal. The fireplace against the back Grey bricked wall is dancing as the wind blows down the chimney and every once and awhile it makes a crackle as the wood burns and burst under the heat of the fire. Just right of the fireplace there is a long what looks to be run down bar stand. Behind it you would think there is a older man running all the drinks. In this case there is a very attractive blonde haired women that looks very good looking. She smiles at all the men trying to talk her up. On the other side, across of the bar there are three local but unknown adventurers simply trying to make a name for themselves. Recently they just got off a small job to drive off a band of thugs from a farm. Nothing to great. Just enough to live comfortably. At that table there are two males and one female all sitting around and drinking and laughing about stories of the great adventurers. Well so called great adventures. The most opposing of the three is a man who stands heads and shoulders above the rest in terms of looks. A Strong looking fellow, scars from battles of past on his face with a old looking sword is sitting in front of him laughs as the only lady of the group tells a funny joke. The female across of him which just made the large man laugh is very beautiful, but has the look as if she can hold her own. Stories do tell of her Great markman ship. She is rumored to have be the first female to take down the Thunder God by shooting a arrow into the sky. Of course these are just stories, and of course there is the last one of the three. A man who seems to be in his books. Not just any normal book, a spell casting book. Although not many would catch onto this as he likes to keep a low profile about himself. As the three sit there enjoying there time in the nice warm Inn. A commotion is heard outside. Just as the Adventurers turn their heads towards the door....
