There was peace in the land for nearly a decade, but rumors and whispers started to spread of evil. News spread of an evil wizard, that was once killed by the hands of the King, roaming the nearby forest. The only power to bring someone back from the dead was the Regeneration Scrolls. The Scrolls could also restore people back to their physical and mental peak. This power in the wrong hands could bring back evil people and conquer kingdoms. The King had to stop it. He sent an army of his best warriors to destroy the Regeneration Scrolls. After a three month battle, the Kings army got the Scrolls. The Scrolls were protected by an evil spell which prevented the King’s men from destroying them. The Kings General decided to take the scrolls to the King to seek his advice.
The General placed the Regeneration Scrolls into a small chest and had two identical decoy chest made. He separated his army into three groups, each protecting a chest as they journeyed home. Halfway to the army kingdom, orc archers appeared from the treeline and fired upon the army. The orcs outnumbered the Kings army and death was in the air. Out of the treeline, three evil warlocks appeared. The first warlock cast a spell and a small white sphere appeared around one of the chests. The magic sphere glowed bright white, then disappeared along with the chest. The second and third Warlock mimic the spell of the first wizard. The heroes were determined not to lose another chest. Preparing for the next wave of attack, the team notice that a magical white sphere appeared over the chest they were assigned to protect. One of the Heros shot an arrow which drove deep into the warlocks shoulder causing him to lose his focus. The white sphear enlarged, engulfing the whole team into the spell. One of the teammates drove a battle ax against the wall of the sphere. The ax bounced off causing a deep bass sound to echo in the magical sphere. There was nothing the team could do. The magical sphere illumination got brighter and brighter. Then silence.
The first thing the team noticed was the cold damp air. It smelled old and musky. After the team’s eyes adjust, they realize they were teleported deep in a treasure hall of a dungeon. Some of the Heros recognize the stonework and architecture style to be Dwarven, From the kingdom of Steeltop. The Dwarf Kingdom fell a decade ago once they mined into a river of lava, summoning evil. Steeltop location was too far away from other kingdoms and nobody came to their aid. Orcs and other evil desired the kingdom of Steeltop for its strategic placement between the Orcs of the north and the rest of the world. Steeltop soon fell.
As the team looks around the treasure hall, they notice one of their teammates, a general of their army, wounded by an arrow from the battle on the roadside.
The team must discover if their chest contains the Regeneration Scrolls, and escape the dungeon alive!
