Greyhawk

The Great Kingdom is sundered, collapsed into chaos after the terrible Greyhawk Wars. An insane overking, advised by a malefic priesthood and conversing with fiends atop his malachite throne, slew and revivified
many of his local noble rulers as animuses, undead creatures of cold, hateful passions.

Great armies once the envy of the Flanaess wander the
lands as freebooting mercenaries and pillagers, stripping the once-abundant treasures of this great nation.
More than 300 years of slow degeneration and decline have climaxed in an appalling tragedy. Hundreds of
thousands of men, women, and children have perished, and many more will follow in the years ahead.

Session 7

Day 1 of the Richfest Festival (Midsummer), 586 CY
Our heroes had picked up there lives individually during this time. Separately they bid each other farewell and adjourned for there own tasks. A year later they meet up at the Foothill Watchmen Guild Hall for the years Membership Ceremony and to join in the Richfest Celebration. The Richfest Festival is sponsored this year by the Halfling community especially by the clerics of Yondalla.

The group was having fun at the yearly festival hosted by the halflings of the town when a great clamor arose above the noise of the revelers. As the townsfolk ran away from the epicenter it was easy to figure out where the culprit was. The members of the group just headed in the opposite direction and soon encountered several dire rats and were-rats looking for a good time. The problem was that it appeared that the way the rats intended on pleasuring themselves was at the expense of the well being of the townsfolk.

After dispatching the rats, our group following a chase through the streets of the city it was discovered that a couple of the members of the group were diseased. After a cure was found and the group was trying to settle down for a nice meal, Kirk noticed that they were being followed. The group tried to lead their pursuers into a trap but the suspects never materialized where the trap was set. After waiting a couple of minutes they decided to head back home to eat but as they were heading back they saw one of the pursuers in an alley. As they approached him to question him they realized that they themselves had been led into a trap.

There was a brief fight and the group was able to subdue one of the opponents and question him. It appears that someone had hired the were-rats to create trouble at the festival and then to kill the members of the group.
