[QUOTE="wargear, post: 3598784, member: 52626"] The Party was gathered together by the local ruler, Baron Piotr Tilgentor, after orders from the capital stripped his militia to its bare bones. He needed a group to handle all the problems he would normally have assigned a squad of guards or militia to do. Mission 1: A group of deserters from the Imperial Army had begun banditry in the borderlands of the Baron's domain. They had set up camp in the remains of an ancient Barrow, still inhabited unfortunately by ancient undead. - After setting a counter ambush and decimating the bandits, they back tracked them to their camp where they discovered the no-longer intact barrow. They summoned assistance and powerful priests sealed the tomb before anything substantial could come out. Mission 2: A tithe from a remote farming village was different to previous years, almost entirely made up of grain rather than the mixture of leathergoods and grain that was usual. Also, an Imperial Herald had gone missing in the area. Sometime during the winter one of the village lads had awakened his Necromantic powers and accidentally slain every living thing in the village and the nearby hill fort, and raised them as undead. He had then set them to work on their usual tasks, in a macabre mockery of normal village life. - The party arrived to find the undead everywhere, they slew them all, burning and sanctifying as they went. The hill fort was manned by the slain soldiers and a death knight who had once been a Paladin. They assaulted the fort, destroying the undead and reconsecrating the fort. Mere days later, a Thrall-marked Orc legion, led by a spectre attacked, razing the fort. Mission 3: Word reached Baron Piotr that a Reaper had passed through the neighbouring lands of Baron Arvid Wyvernhelm. All intelligent creatures slain by a Reaper arise a day or two later as undead. Thus a substantial force of soldiers was needed to destroy the legions of undead that arose in its wake. - The Party joined a large gathering of Militant Orders. Mopup was going well when scouts announced that the Reaper had bypassed the next village in favour of the armed camp. The camp scattered, buying enough time for a team of powerful priests and warriors to banish the Reaper. Too late, however, for one of the scattered groups. Slaughtered to a man, the rest of the force had to swiftly converge on their camp to prevent their becomming undead. A Battle Mage arose as a vampire, and was put down by the Party. Mission 4: With the destruction of the hill fort, the Baron's border with the Outlands is a little exposed (understatement). A new fort will have to be built, and a new site found to situate it. Likewise, someone will have to guard the site and the builders during construction. The Orcs are still watching the site of the previous fort for signs of rebuilding. - The Party escorted an engineer to the area and located a new site. The halfelf negotiated with the Orcs, and an accord was reached. A source of good stone was located and plans for a new permanent fortress made. The Baron sent additional troops to help defend the site once the initial steps were complete. [/QUOTE]
