The sun was shining, a brisk breeze blowing, and a few wispy clouds scuttling across the blue sky.The gates of Elgarth Keep opened unceremoniously and a party of riders crossed the lowered drawbridge.Riding in the lead was Durgan Snake (Rogue 4), an auxiliary in the services of the Knights of Solamnia. He had been tasked by the Knighthood to act as a scout for the party in this particular mission. Previously, in other missions, he had fulfilled the roles of saboteur and spy. His talents in such unconventional roles render him especially useful to the Knights.The main body was flanked by six Knights of Solamnia, the symbols of the Knighthood apparent on their breast plates. At the head of the main group were two warriors that looked uncommonly muscular. A male, and a female. They had greatswords strapped to their backs and rode the steeds easily.Taunus Goodbreeze (Fighter 2/ Barbarian 2) had left the Que-shu in his youth to seek the fame and fortune that he believed was waiting for him out in the world. He now works as a mercenary in the employ of the Knights of Solamnia along with Solvinius.Mand Goldenegg (Barbarian 4) had arrived in Solomnia as the escort of a diplomatic party, representing all the Que tribes, to forge a military alliance with the Knights of Solamnia. A member of the Que-ti tribe, she had volunteered for this mission in an attempt to show good faith to the Knights.A man wearing thick robes, that failed to hide his armour, was riding uncomfortably. Karavas Eversolemn (Mystic 4) was one of the healers that worked within the walls of the Keep. He is considered a guest of the Knights and reciprocates by making his healing talents available to the Knights and all who ask. He sees this as an opportunity to alleviate suffering outside Solamnia. Another robed figure was quietly studying those about him. Vilinius Muriel(Wizard 4) is considered an apprentice belonging to the newly reformed Order of High Sorcery. He believed that magic could be used to further the cause of Good, and sees aiding the Solamnic Knights as a way to further that cause, and increase his own magical potency at the same time. A weasel stuck a head out from the backpack upon the horse and sniffed the air about.At the rear, an elven maiden rode gracefully. Upon her back was a longbow made out of wood, which seemed to shine under the radiant sunlight. Stark Soliante (Ranger 4) had come to Solamnia with a plea for aid from the elves of Silvanesti. To assist in ejecting the minotaurs who had conquered and occupied Silvanesti. The Knights were unable to put together a force large enough to defeat the minotaurs, without leaving themselves vulnerable to attack. However, they have volunteered information to Stark, about an elven artefact that was heard to exist in a place known as the Stone Bog.It is to this locale that the party travels.</blockquote>
