Well, all stories good/average/bad (hopefully good) have to start somewhere. This particular one begins in Dahnil, a small town near the Kradark mountain range. The Kradark mountains are rich, unexplored and beautiful but dangerous. The rock is plentiful in valuable rocks and minerals and the soil is good for growing all manner of things, fertilized by the volcanic activity that used to plague the region. These volcanoes used to be the reason why the mountains weren't exploited fully, but 15 years ago, for no readily apparent reason the volcanoes suddenly stopped.

Soon after miners started to move in. Teams of kobolds and teams of dwarves jostled to find the richest veins of minerals and export them across the world in caravans. This newfound wealth drew more and more people in, so that hundreds of small towns formed with Dahnil being one of the largest ones.

There has always been some local people who have disagreed with what the miners have been doing. Some people who have been living in region since before living memory felt that they have been desercrating there sacred lands. Sometimes they used violence, but they were not particularly organised and a band of rangers hired by the miners were able to stop any major attacks.

However, recently the attacks have been more frequent, more organised, more deadly. Whole villages have been found empty except for the bodies of slaughtered women and children, the bodies of the men nowhere to be seen. The local rangers spread tales that a dark force has awakened in the mountains, that sooner or later a big attack will come to one of the main towns and that theres nothing that they will be able to do to stop it.

These tales has lead to a huge bounty 10000gp being placed on this creatures head. Leading to adventurers from all around coming to try and join in the hunt, either for fame, the money or to help the people of the area.

You six are some of these adventurers, ready to hunt for the abomination that reportedly stalks the land. All with different reasons for being there, but all with the same goal in mind.

You all just happen to be in the town square at midday on Tuesday when...
