Tonight's Background
With the death of Morak at the hand of Gnarly Blunderbrush the murder of
Arvin Ardmore of the Temple of Mithra had been avenged. However,
vengeance came at a price!
Slick Vinny went head to head with Zenopus the Vampire and was drained of blood and taken away by the alluring undead creature. It is not known whether he be dead or a blood sucking creature under the influence of Zenopus.
Gnarly, pursued by Morak's guards, leaped off the terrace and into the sea below. He had lost consciousness and drifted helplessly, watched over by Tuk the owl. The next day he washed up on shore and made his way back to the Moon-tower.
Argh and Swanky, who were locked within the dungeons beneath the old Merchant Guild were soon rescued by Lemunda accompanied by her bewildered father Osric and her servant Oslo. When they heard about Morak's death she took the opportunity to escape with her father. She lead the Halfling and Half-orc through the twisting tunnels beneath the castle to a small boat that lead to the ocean. They paddled out the tunnel and towards the shore near the Moon-tower.
The work of Morak's death traveled fast. Lord Blackmoore took the opportunity to gain the upper-hand and lead an offensive against Kushanna's troops north of Harrowood.
With the power vacuum left behind, the Stygian Zadir is attempting to take control of the city. Using his dark magic and Morak's second in command, Utasu, Zadir hopes to strike back quickly against the Moon-tower and bring the city back under his control.
Three days have since past since the fall of Morak.
Zadir has put a king's ransom on the heads of Arvin's Avengers.
The forest around the tower are filled with archers making leaving the tower is a deadly proposition.
Essentially trapped within the tower, you realize that a full scale assault is on the horizon.

Return To Caladan
The Return To Caladan
The following events transpired after Arvin's Avengers returned from being hopelessly lost in the dungeons beneath the Moon Tower
Skwanky has gauntlets of ogre strength
Vinny has the Skull of Yam Gregak
Televon has the iron crown
Six months have passed since the fall of the Temple of the Black Sun. In that time, Lord Morak's rule has become more solidified within Caladan Any small uprising against Morak was quickly and violently put to rest. Overall, his rule isn't overly cruel and the town slowly returns to it's regular prosperity but he does have other things on his mind...
But talk of the defeat of the undead army that has been harassing travelers on the road south of Caladan gives the citizens something to debate, discuss and sing about. Arvin's Avengers are initially looked upon as heroes. Traders and gypsies gather around the tower to sell their wares. But that is short lived, however, as the murder of a number of traders, their blood drained, raise the superstitions about the mysterious tower once again and the mysterious Lady in White. Not to mention the numerous Mushroom-men roaming the grounds. The tower and it's heroic inhabitants are once again shunned.
To protect her father's life, Lemunda agreed to wed Morak. Osric still lives within the grounds of the former Merchant Guild but is a broken man.
Kushanna's troops move through the city and gather in the plains north of the Iron Hills and Harrowood. Arvin's Avengers receive word via Tuk the Owl that small skirmishes have taken place between Kushanna's and Blackmoor's troops. It is felt that the siege of Blackmoor will begin soon.
A letter is received by the occupants of the Moontower attached to the foot of a Raven. It reads:
Signed with what can only be considered the stamp of Morak.
