You are an adventurer, part of a small group of adventurers roaming the land. The group includes the dwarven blacksmith Bundram, the human druid Sìle, the dragon bard Cavricrad and you (class and race are up to you). After days of travel, you finally took a break in a village and found accommodation in a cozy inn. Everything is perfect over the next 3 days: you visit the farmers market, help a little in the fields and play with the children. The villagers are friendly to you and treat you like part of the community. But on the 4th day everything changed! As you were lying in bed, you suddenly heard screaming. You leave the inn only to see the village in flames! The villagers are running around screaming, some of the buildings have burned to the ground. Fire, smoke, death, fear and despair fill the night air. And before you can get ready for battle, you are captured. Of orcs! They take you with them, drag you off to their stronghold and throw you into the dungeon there. Three weeks pass, your comrades are on the verge of death due to malnutrition and lack of water. The hygiene leaves a lot to be desired, Bundram has passed away. Your courage has now deserted you and you are just waiting to follow Bundram into the afterlife...
