Quest
This town was on the way for the Player Characters. Malcolm brings a girl named Kira who was severely injured by a mysterious monster and separated by her parents. As Malcolm takes her ahead, the player characters stay behind, finding and recovering the mother.

The characters defeat the troll and some get skullrock fever, they arrive at the village. They meet with Malcom again and recap. After heroic deeds in the meantime, Malcom offers to pay for their inn fees a couple nights. The next day, the characters did a variety of things, including Albert's death.

The next night, late in the night, the group awakens to hear warning bells go off. A dark and powerful group of sorcerers, linked to the Dark Lord Hadron, ventured into town. Buildings caught on fire and blew up. People died in houses, and those that fled to the streets weren't less safe. The guard tower, under stress of attack, begins to collapse and falls down on top of the temple. Kira survives, though her mother dies.

After a hasty retreat, the party returns to see the damage done. Whole buildings are gone. The apothecary is obliterated. The temple was mostly destroyed, crushed by the tower. Everything of value had disappeared. Though the town looked ransacked, there did not seem to be anything missing from the rubble. After a heartbreaking final moment with Stan, they learn the location of Dustin. He could provide the information about what happened. By the time they arrived though, Dustin already was dead. He did however leave behind a great deal of information about the town. It was discovered he was part of the Shadow Shields, and these sorcerers worked for the Dark Lord Hadron.

Through Dustin's diary, it was revealed that a crystal carried by Kira's father was meant to go to the elves in order to decipher its dark magic. However, this crystal was discovered to be in the hands of the party. Thus a decision had to be made as to the next step in the adventure.
