LC1: Fangs in the Dark
 |
A daring escape from the clutches of Gnoll marauders liberates you from a life of brutal servitude¸ yet your struggle for survival continues... for now you find yourself alone and unarmed¸ beset by unseen horrors that lie in wait at every turn¸ with only your wits¸ your courage¸ and your strength to sustain you.
The party has been captured by Gnolls that have been ravaging the countryside¸ and begin play imprisoned in the back of a penal wagon carrying them off to the Gnoll lair to be killed and eaten. However¸ when the cart breaks a wheel¸ the party escapes¸ and must flee through the forest¸ unarmored and weaponless¸ all the while being stalked by a pack of ravenous wolves.
After a harrowing journey¸ the party finally ends up in the small village of Sevenoaks. Sevenoaks was once under the purview of a heroic Paladin known as the Vermillion Knight¸ but he has not been heard from in years¸ and his keep now lays dormant. They meet a man named Vincent¸ who claims to be a distant descendant of the Knight and the last surviving heir to the castle¸ and he offers to outfit the party with weapons and armor if they investigate the keep and clear it out of any dangers.
The party¸ without many options¸ eventually heads to the keep of the Vermillion Knight in search of glory and treasure. But they may have bitten off more than they can chew¸ and soon find they've gone straight from the frying pan into the fire.
