Adventurer corpses found in Larder. THUNDER PEAKS - Adventurers sponsored by House Yellander have discovered the remains of Black Heldar’s Roost. Named after the legendary robber baron “Black” Heldar Hornfast, the Roost has long been the focus of adventurers and mountain explorers hoping to recover the many, many treasures Black Heldar won through banditry and force of arms. His victims were not only merchants and agents of Cormyr and Sembia, but the other robber barons who’d built their own keeps along the west-facing slopes of the Thunder Peaks. Black Heldar had gone so far as to proclaim himself the Bane of Dhalmass, but this title died as swiftly as Heldar himself after the Warrior King swept in on griffon-back to lead an attack on the Roost.Popular lore claims Dhalmass defeated Black Heldar in single combat, causing Heldar’s forces to retreat below the castle and flee into the maze of underways the bandits had used to travel to other parts of the Thunder Peaks unseen and emerge to set ambushes. The Roost is thought to have been plundered, though no reliable records exist that can confirm if the castle was destroyed afterward or simply left to crumble over time under the constant deluge of storms and lightning that give the Thunder Peaks its name. RAVAER’S STRONGHOLD - Purple Dragons manning this earthen redoubt were shocked to discover the bodies of dead adventurers in the heart of the stronghold. Instead of cabbages, firewood, waterskins, and sausages sealed in clay, the corpses of six adventurers were crammed inside a series of stone storage niches. The identities of the dead and their histories as adventurers were confirmed by the Lionar in charge after an adventuring charter was recovered from the bodies. The corpses were loaded onto a wagon, then both wagon and a trio of Dragons on horseback were dispatched to deliver the bodies, along with the charter, to the Queen’s Lord of Hultail.</blockquote>
