Shadowdark#4 The Keep on the Borderlands

 Guiding Tredegar Monchburger to the Keep on the Borderlands, the characters that inadvertently released 250 Dwarf zombies from the ruins of Kazad Mor, feel little remorse.

From left to right...Dagmara, Karlyle, Bjorn,Lidda Puddlefoot, Bernard, Jeralt the Holy, Balin...let's see who makes it...I mean, uhhh,  heroes all!
 

Amongst the survivors of the party of 12 that left Borderfell (or 'Boderfell' depending upon whether you belong to the government faction or the 'Free Boderfell' movement...) :

A nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there...

  • Dagmara the 1/2 orc wizard
  • Karlyle the Elf Priest of Madeera
  • Bjorn the big chinned fighter
  • Bernard (that's Bernaaarrrrd), the Dwarf Priest of St. Terragnis
  • Lidda Puddlefoot, the halfing fighter with plate armour (long story)
  • Jeralt the Holy - Paladin to the Holy House of the Loyal Dread Chapel of Lady St. Terragnis (loyal faction)
  • Balin the wily dwarf thief 

Within hours, and having met but a few of the locals (including, from afar, the strange Witch of the Tower, and old JoMaMa, the head of the Chapel...), Tredegar, in a panic tells them that his brother Justin has been kidnapped by forces unknown at the caves of chaos...can they help?

 Tooling up, the merry band heads out, hoping to outflank the caves by heading through the haunted woods to the north.

Totally makes sense to outflank the caves, by going through the haunted, cursed, deathly hallows, spider, woods of the dead priest emperor...

 What could go wrong?
