Word reached them that adventurers were needed and they are answering the call now that they have had a taste of the adventurer's life. A city called Bard's Gate far to the north. What adventures will they have on the way there? Will there be more villainous Tokoloshes or other monsters to save villagers from? The answers lie to the north!
