 This story begins on the continent of North Philanahn. No one has heard of nor seen a dragon in North Philanahn. There are stories handed down from long, long ago but most people pass those off as faery tales or fables. Either they existed and exist no more or, they never existed at all. What does that have to do with our adventurers. That remains to be seen. Let’s get started and find out.
-Amazingly, the 5 adventurers comprising the legendary group of adventurers known as “The Company Clandestine”, arrived at the famous Three Points Inn and Tavern, separately, but all at the same time. The inn was bustling with activity. People coming and going. This was before the individuals in the group had met one another. This is before Eryn and Cal-El—Dor became good friends, sharing their Elven heritage, archery, and stealth. This is before Symon the Magnificent met his natural shield wall, and his enormous, fierce, but kindly friend, Xor. This is before the party solved Angelique’s mystery. Who killed her father, and why? The heart of the Naa’s Priestess needed answers and this group meant to help her get them. Yes…This is before. Before it all! Before the adventurers had made their names known far and wide. Before all of the songs that would later be sung about them. Or perhaps, this is just before they all died a meaningless death, and they never became famous at all. I choose to believe they did. We shall see. Oh, who am I you ask? I am Exavier Synclair. My story is unimportant. Suffice to say, I’m just writing down these stories, as they were passed down to me. I shall endeavor to do a better than adequate job of it. We shall start here, at the Inn.

 The Three Points Inn and Tavern was famous as a gathering place for people looking for missions or adventures. It’s also a place where like-minded people met and formed groups with which to do them. These 5 entered separately, found each other among the teaming masses of potential adventurers, forged a group, named the group, filled out and submitted the guild application forms and proper fees, and turned it all in to a gentleman, or maybe not a gentleman, seated at a table at the far southern end of the inn’s tavern. He accepted the fees and the application form, and told them that to join the guild, it is required that they complete a test designed to determine if they were, at all, capable. He sent them around to the back of the inn to meet with Bernard. Bernard would set them on their task. If they failed to complete the task, they would be turned away and unable to try again for another 6 months. They thanked the gentleman, or not gentleman, and began making their way out of and around the inn.

 The party moved around back and met a man there named Bernard, handing him the ticket they had been given by the gentleman, or not gentleman, inside. The party was told to enter a nearby wagon. Eryn asked, before entering, if she should armor up now or wait until they get where they are going. The consensus was that she should armor up. She did, and what everyone saw was a pristine, clean, nary a scratch on it, set of black leather armor. After that, they entered the wagon and found themselves stepping onto a grassy knoll looking out over lowlands where a line of little creeks ran through a swamp area. On the other side of the swamp area was a small rise leading up a hill, through a cliff facing, to a tower. They were told to go to the tower and fetch some gold and bring it back. As long as the gold and one person made it back, then it would be considered a successful test. Otherwise, they failed. This test is not lethal so there is no real consequence to the test accept for success and failure. Failure means you can’t try to join the guild again for 6 months.
-The company made its way down to the creek and across it. Xor took the lead followed by Cal-El-Dor and the rest not far behind. Cal-El-Dor checked for tracks. He saw quite a lot of boot prints. Xor and Cal-El-Dor pulled out weapons and Xor pulled out a shield. Eryn pulled out a bow, Symon pulled out a slingshot, and Angelique pulled out her sling. Everyone searched the rocks for signs of movement. They heard a screech from nearby, and a kobald jumped up on a rock near Cal-El-Dor. At that point, they were set upon by 7 Kobalds, four from the cliffs using bows, and three on foot preparing for melee. They were spread out over the battlefield and had the party almost surrounded on three sides. The battle took some time, Xor, Cal-El-Dor took some damage, but the party was victorious. Eryn did loot the bodies and managed to scrape together 15 copper pieces and 3 gold pieces from them.
