Adventure #1: "The Keep at Koralgesh" (Feb 11, 1989 - Mar 18, 1989) This was their first adventure. They took on the exploration and looting of an ancient keep in the mountains southeast of Vinyard. The keep was called the "Keep at Helm's Peak". They made a second trip into the keep to claim more treasures. Then they fought bandits on the way to Hildan. Adventure #2: "The Moor Tomb Map" (Apr 8, 1989 - Apr ??, 1989) In this adventure, the characters worked together to overcome wolves, plants, traps and bandits to recover some lost treasure. They returned to Faralow flashing money around and got a dinner with the governor of Hildan. Adventure #3: "Ring of Confusion" (May 6, 1989) They were ambushed on their way to Faralow but they made it safely. In town everything went sour, however. It was if there was a war going on around them. Constant attempts to kill Harrow and then people would leap out to save him. It turns out Harrow had the Assassin's guildmaster ring and started a thieves' guild versus assassin's guild war. After pissing off Starhawk's temple, they just fled for a boat out of town. Adventure #4: "Wards of Witching Ways" (May ??, 1989 - Jun ??, 1989) Stranded by bad luck at sea, they found themselves on an island run by two powerful wizards. After several mishaps and a lot of searching, they fought the wizards head-to-head. They were all badly hurt and Starhawk was left polymorphed into a worm! They made their way back to the mainland and limped to Wenford. Story Arc #2: A new band formed after the crushing defeat in the previous adventure. Ingold, Starhawk, and Harrow left the team. Kathric, Lothar and Beldin joined. Adventure #5: "The Crypt of Istaris" (Sep 23, 1989 - Nov ??, 1989) The party came across the city of Hornsboro just as a sinister plot to blow up the city was coming to a head. They only had until midnight to solve the puzzle and disarm the explosives. It was difficult due to infighting in the newly formed group. Bithric even had to "charm" Lothar.
