-They also meet two new adventurers that quickly tie their fates to that of The Companions. [[:player_characters:Tenzijen]], a Dwarf guildsman who for years had hammered at the forge had been trapped within the depths of the Worm for years.

-The Companions quickly band together with another group inside the worm to escape. This group is led by Jurran The Hunter, a halfling that wants to kill a group of Cultists of the Worm that stand between them and the way out of the Worm. A cataclysmic battle takes place in the heart chamber of the Worm, killing the cultists and the Worm and allowing the trapped people to escape to sunlight for the first time in ages. +The Companions quickly band together with another group inside the worm to escape.

 They say goodbye to their new companions as they go their separate ways, but fate it seems would one day reunite them. After freeing themselves from the Worm the Companions travel to Rook Rock. While staying there the party performs several heroic deeds for the community, as they no longer have any funds to arrange travel back to Valishdal. They say goodbye to their new companions as they go their separate ways, but fate it seems would one day reunite them.

 The newly dubbed Greyslayers take on another contract from Jeb Masterson, a local city guard who needed a letter delivered to his sister in near by Meade Meadow.

 That evening spooky events began to play out and the ghost of a female farmer was seen at the edge of the farm. Following the ghost, they soon discover that the Mastersons had been killed and sacrificed by a crazy druid to a Gilthias tree. The Gilthias tree was a cursed vampiric tree, slowly turning the forest and nearby land into an evil cursed forest. The Greyslayers killed the druid and burned the tree, freeing the forest and the trapped spirits of the Mastersons from the curse. That evening spooky events began to play out and the ghost of a female farmer was seen at the edge of the farm.

-The Greyslayers meet [[:npc:npc|Witch hunter Sorrel]] and discover that an adventurer had returned from the lost tomb of Vuldun. Shortly after he made it back to the village of Carolyn Creek he died and was buried in the town cemetery. 3 days after his death he arose from his grave as a Wight, killing several of the townspeople and turning them into zombies. +The Greyslayers meet [[:npc:npc|Witch hunter Sorrel]] and discover that an adventurer had returned from the lost tomb of Vuldun.

 The Greyslayers fought the Wight in a pitched battle, burning down the mansion he was hiding in and freeing the town from the zombie menace. They realized that their work is not done yet as the lost tomb is now open, and evil will leak from the tomb into the surrounding area. The Greyslayers march off into the hills, following the journal of the dead adventurer and rediscover the hidden entrance to the tomb of Vuldun. The Greyslayers fought the Wight in a pitched battle, burning down the mansion he was hiding in and freeing the town from the zombie menace.

 Saying goodbye to Witch hunter Sorrel, The Greyslayers travel back to Rook Rock. On the journey they encounter a small travelling circus. After a few good rounds of Gnome tossing, Dusky makes his way into the larger tent and into a deal with two demon brothers. The deal proves to be unwise. Saying goodbye to Witch hunter Sorrel, The Greyslayers travel back to Rook Rock. On the journey they encounter a small travelling circus.

-Back in Rook Rock the party fails to make a deal with Marissa, a gems trader. Thankfully Dusky gains the favor of [[:npc:npc|Lurien Schmalt]], a local trader and member of The [[:politics:King’s Coin]]. Lurien hires the party to escort his caravan of goods to Garingold. With this contract complete the Greyslayers would have enough gold to finally be able to buy passage back to Valishdal. Lurien is so pleased with Dusky he inducts him into The King’s Coin.+Back in Rook Rock the party fails to make a deal with Marissa, a gems trader.
