Trapped and without aid hundreds of feet below the Harkenwold Forest, the player characters desperately navigate the ancient ruins of Anvilbreaker, the great dwarven city once led by Fordin Anvilbreaker. It is not long until clues pertain to old signet rings that will open portals, and the party soon realizes they are not alone.

A first encounter with Troglodytes leaves a pungent and nasty taste within nostrils and mouths, although the savage enemy is overcome. Soon after it’s found that the Troglodytes feasted on a nearby nest of spiders, which was put to the torch and the animals slain. In their last moments, the player characters come across the dilapidated remains of a Dwarven library, where after much scouring, a musty tome is found detailing the history of a powerful artifact: The Axe of Kings.

Until next week!
