Message: <blockquote data-quote="Electric Wizard" data-source="post: 6160810" data-attributes="member: 83982">Not all halflings ended up in the Freeholds.Hurlstone Hill (8.12)Connected to 11.08Before countless petty quarrels drove its residents abroad, Hurlstone Hill was the center of halfling civilization. Although overgrown and crumbling, many of its once-cozy tunnels and chambers may still be explored. This has become dangerous, as the vampire Chyndonax is hiding here. He is attempting to evade the Fearless, a band consisting of a sun-priest, a cleric of Iano, a shield maiden of Alberon and a gnome alchemist, united by their dedication to eradicating vampirism. Chyndonax has turned the bodies of the halflings murdered in ancient feuds into his servants, who stalk the grounds tirelessly, watching for intruders.The Bolgers are the only surviving halfling clan that could reclaim Hurlstone. The two other great clans, the Grumbers and the Cavengows, faded into obscurity. The Gumbers are said to have gone east, and settled in Jar Town (16.20), where they mingled with low families until their old authority waned. The Cavengows struck out for the Bitter Coast. It is said that Hurlstone was abandoned per terms of a peace treaty between the three clans. They agreed to end, once and for all, the ancient conflicts over property and resource rights, which threatened to drench the hill in blood.Hooks-Why is this place called Hurlstone Hill?-What remains in the little tunnels beneath the hill?-Where did Chyndonax come from?-Where are the Fearless now? How did they meet and then agree to dedicate their lives to slaying vampires?-What happened to the Cavengows?-Do any Bolgers dream of reclaiming their ancestral rights?</blockquote>
