A Homecoming

A loud shout comes from high overhead, "The Dread Lord! He's coming this way! He should be here in the next half an hour or so! Get ready!"

On Volnes, day 26 of the month Phoenatos, Rorthen Windfellow returns to his home at Windfellow Retreat to discover a shocking surprise: The gargoyles of the keep have planned and commenced a festival, seemingly in honor of the Dread Lord's birthday.

While speaking briefly to the festival-goers, the Dread Lord explains that the gargoyles consider him their master, and that they built the keep for him. He admits that he did, indeed, create them, though not necessarily with forethought. He continues, explaining that their creation was unintentional and related to the consumption of perhaps one too many wine-spritzers.

Not long after his return to the keep, the Dread Lord takes to his bed, seemingly still rattled by the goings-on in his home.

It's said the Dread Lord enjoys tarts, long walks in the keep, and wine-spritzers. His dislikes include a lumpy bed and unexpected guests.

Gossip and rumors abound amongst the visitors, as the festival continues into its fourth evening.

The Dread Lord

You see Rorthen Windfellow. He appears to be a Human.
He is spectacularly awkward-looking and has exceedingly long, spindly limbs. He appears to be young. He has wide muddy brown eyes and sallow skin. He has irregularly-cut, straight brownish-red hair. He has a narrow face and a pronounced overbite. He is in good shape.
He is wearing a bright green belt pouch, some oversized yellow boots, some stained crimson breeches, and a plain cyan tunic.

The Gargoyles

A notice board in a damp cavern claims some are mysteriously missing. Follow the intrigue!

Andesite, the gargoyle proprietress of A Gneiss Gal, claims that she believes the missing gargoyles were kill a nasty battle, in the near-dark, perhaps at the talons of another gargoyle. While rock items in her shop do bear some resemblance to the missing gargoyles, she claims this is purely coincidental.

Help the gargoyles as they search for their missing brothers and sisters.
