Haelbram: the Cult of the Viper

In Haelbram, following the departure of the adventuring party, peace had lasted for several months. As of late, however, talks of bandit raids on merchants from the north have been heard. With the oncoming harvest, the Mayor of Haelbram had put out a request for adventurers to handle the bandit menace.

Following the initial meeting with the mayor regarding the bandits and the threats said bandits might pose to Haelbram's survival, the adventuring party departed. Their first task, before persuing the bandits, was to make one final offering to the Equine Lords at the Altar of the Lords. Laden with hay, the adventurers were slow going, and seemed to have been followed. Upon arrival at the Altar, the adventurers noticed a foal of the Equine Lords being attacked. Quickly dispatching their foes, the adventurers discovered each of the members of the bandit party bore a brooch in the shape of an ouroboras, and that one held a map leading to what might be a camp. The adventurers made haste to the markings on the map, quickly finding themselves in the belly of a ruins. Further religious iconography and the presence of a great two headed snake suggested a following of bandits had devoted themselves to the giant snakes of the Great Plains. When the dust settled after combat, the adventurers had rid the ruins, and travel path, of the bandit forces, saving Haelbram. They noted, however, that there were indications of a higher power running the operation from elsewhere.
