A centennial festival is upturned when a barbarian storms into town claiming that dangerous cultists are pursuing her.
Full Synopsis
Fondue Zoobag (Dan Harmon), a half-orc ranger, and Boneweevil (Jeff Davis), a goblin rogue, start out in their hometown of Earthscar where the Demon Seal ritual is starting. Beor O’Shift (Erin McGathy), a half-elf barbarian woman, runs into the village asking for help with the cultists pursuing her. The party fights the cultists, joined by Teflonto (Paul F. Tompkins), Earthscar’s champion, and the militia he commands. During the battle a mysterious knight named Vortheon strides into Earthscar and grabs the runestone protecting the Demon Seal, thereby unleashing three evil abominations. The cultists warn the party that they will collect all three runestones and resurrect the Great Manticore to destroy the world. Vortheon then blasts the party with dark blood magic, killing Teflonto, before fleeing through a portal with the surviving cultists. The village’s chief convinces the party to go through the Stonesaw Mines to Freshport to warn his brother, Dunnan, of the danger facing the second runestone.
