Rundown of the Adventure

As the Wright is establishing his grasp on the mountains to the north of The Überlauf Tal, many of its demizens are force to relocate. Among these are the Duergar of Ogalthr vior Got. Many of these grey dwarves died, others fled deeper and some ventured into the overworld. A small group has made a fort in the foothills north of Inverniss. The construction of this fort, partially build in an abandoned mind required a logging opperation, and The Watcher in the Trees has taken notice. But due to the obsydian hand (hewn from the statue in their overrun keep) which exhumes the will of Ladugeur the trees remain dormant. And thus the forest calls upon it's denizens to strike at these dwarves.
