One group of heroes gathered within the port city of Lothlann at the Dragon
and Hare Inn. Summoned by the distinguished Sir Travis Atwood an
explorer for the Seekers Guild. The heroes were hired to accompany an
expedition to a recently discovered island off the coast of Chem. After a
violent storm damaged the ship the heroes rescued a group of crazy and
diseased survivors of a failed undisclosed first expedition to the
island. Arriving at the island the heroes found evidence pointing to a
mysterious illness consuming the first expedition in a bout of madness.
While the ship's crew repaired the ship and gathered the supplies of the
previous expedition, the heroes were given three days to explore an
ominous temple sitting upon the center of the island. Within the temple
protected by immortal guardians and ancient puzzles the heroes discover a
shard of absolute darkness. Adding to the mystery a group of black
marble busts are discovered, with these mysterious individuals tied to
the creation of the temple. In addition, the infected survivors of the
first expedition attempt to prevent their escape, but the heroes are
able to escape the island.
