The Story So Far...
Under
mysterious circumstances, you and your comrades meet the infamous
bandit Arcus Ulfgar. Arcus explains that he is more than some mercenary -
he is the last surviving heir of house Ulfgar of Rathwood. He explains
that his house was once a great barony in this region but fell into ruin
around 200 years ago. No one is sure what really happened, but rumors
abound of a curse. At any rate, Arcus admits the family castle is now a
haunted ruin full of monsters and death. While he is a bold mercenary,
he keeps to killing men, and is “no monster hunter.” Arcus says that
somewhere within the castle is a register that proves he is heir to the
barony. Arcus makes the following proposal - if you can rid the castle
of whatever curse defiles it and retrieve the register proving Arcus is
the heir - he will handsomely reward them from his bountiful loot he’s
earned as a mercenary and brigand. Additionally, the PCs are free to
loot the castle and take any valuables they can carry off with them.
Finally, once Arcus is installed as baron, they will have his favor -
which could be of great use. Arcus marks your map to show the location
of his family's estate, and wishes you luck.
