MT: Plague of Evil Part I Base of Operations A long time ago, in a land not too far away, the plague of evil had once again struck the land. With a groan of stressed joints, the bones shifted, moved, and rose. From the depths of the dirt ridden grave rose the skeleton. Nails scrabbled at the edges of the hole as it rose and moved to its master’s side. The evil one began to laugh; once again he had been successful. Once again his foul necromancy had worked, and yet another undead came to join his hoard. What is known: 1: With the abandoning of Marri-Glen by the army recently, evil is once again on the rise. 2: the nearby abandoned castle of Glittergem, which guards the long abandoned gemstone mines, has been seized by orcs, trolls, and other foul beasties. 3: the leaders of Marri-Glen do not wish to see a foothold of evil so near their peaceful village. Without the army’s protection they would be vulnerable to attack. What is offered: 1: A group of adventurers will be payed handsomely up to, but not exceeding 1000 gp per person for their troubles. 2: the adventurers will have an opportunity to take over Glittergem keep, making it their own base of operations. In which they could use it for a staging area to go after more foul creatures, or perhaps reopen the gemstone mines and grow rich and well known.
