The Gold Syndicate - First Patrol

[Vlaming 117]

 

 

 

THE GOLD

1st of the Sun’s Smile, 278 S.A

 

 

 

When dark creatures fill the forests and take innocent souls, the people are bound to react.

And they did. Ser Sorriel Kranakov and Lord Oswald Kingsley could not just idly stand by…

They knew action was to be taken against these vile creatures.

 

THE FOUNDING

HALFLINGS

When word reached both Ser Sorriel and Lord Kingsley about the abductions of Halflings in the Norlandic forests, they soon set up a meeting with each other. They discussed the situation and decided to start a branch of the Kingsley Company that specializes in the protection of innocent souls against these threats known as “The Gold Syndicate”.

 

FIRST PATROL

Ser Sorriel soon gathered a ragtag bunch to set out for their first patrol. On the 1st of Sun’s Smile, 278 S.A. they set out to patrol the general area where some of the Half-folk went missing. They had little to no luck in finding who or what caused these disappearances. They did, how-ever, find several clues as to what happened.

 

After patrolling the forest for several hours, they headed towards the Halfling shelter located near Brunnfell. They were received with the utmost hospitality and had a pleasant evening with the Halflings, until…

 

THE ENCOUNTER

They started to hear yodeling in the distance, carried by the wind. The stench of rot filled the room. They heard shuffling above them. The yodeling stopped. Everything went quiet. Too quiet.

The Gold Syndicate set out to investigate outside, where they encountered a creature that identified itself as “The Ashes of Death”. A filthy creature that carried the body of the well respected “Uncle Hick”. A ghoul…

 

When confronted by both The Gold Syndicate and a lone Norlandic Ranger, it set out to flee. The Norlandic Ranger soon shot an Aurum arrow in its leg, slowing the creature down. This gave the Syndicate a chance to catch up with it. Blasting Potions were thrown by Heyth and Ser Sorriel, arrows were shot. The creature was to be defeated. Lord Kingsley approached the creature when he saw one of his dear friends, Osbert Fidejus, charge the ghoul barehanded.

 

Ser Sorriel and Fullbody flanked the beast while poor Osbert took a grand hit to the head by the Ghoul’s mace. The Syndicate’s Musin known as Lutunia fired several arrows at the Ghoul,  so did the Norlandic Ranger. Their hits weakened the ghoul massively. Lord Kingsley attempted to drag Osbert to the side whilst others were closing in on the creature, but Osbert refused. He would not stand down for such a beast!

 

THE FALL

Both Lord Kingsley and Osbert soon joined the fight once more. The Norlandic Ranger was struck down and knocked out. Ser Sorriel and Fullbody closed in on the ghoul. 

 

As the Ghoul was about to plant its mace into the Ranger’s head, Lord Kingsley jumped between, readying his sword in between them. But before this could happen, Ser Sorriel and Fullbody made a beautiful co-operation of attacks that ultimately led to the smashing of the Ghoul’s head. The beast was slain.

 

Thus, the Kingsley Company’s own Gold Syndicate was a success. Its first patrol led to the saving of several innocent souls.

 

With this first patrol finished, The Gold Syndicate is now open for hire.
