Rivergard Keep, Part 2

General Summary

1 Kythorn, The Year of The Scarlet Witch (1491 DR)     Rivergard Keep, Sumber Hills, Dessarin Valley    
A brave group of adventurers from Red Larch found themselves facing a daunting task - infiltrating the nefarious Rivergard Keep, a stronghold of the bandits who have been terrorizing travelers along the Cairn Road and Dessarin Road.     Instead of engaging in a direct confrontation, they hatched a cunning plan to outsmart the bandits and gain entry without resorting to violence.   The adventurers, comprising a diverse ensemble of individuals skilled in various arts, gathered outside the imposing walls of Rivergard Keep.   Their party consisted of a charismatic fairy rogue and an arcane trickster named Peridot Humgrim, a skilled and knowledgeable changeling warlock named Erun Te'oma, a towering minotaur bard paladin named Darath Tugon who wields a resonant greatsword and sings hymns of justice, and a warforged artificer fighter named Seeker who wields a masterfully crafted enchanted blade named Cutter.   They knew that gaining the bandits' trust was crucial for their plan to succeed.   Peridot, with his natural talent for deception and arcane trickery, assumed the role of a seasoned veteran mercenary, complete with battle-worn gear and a grim demeanor. He presented himself as the leader of the group, boasting of their past exploits and their hunger for riches and glory.   Darath used his enchanting music and charismatic presence to captivate the bandits. He regaled them with tales of legendary battles fought alongside notorious bandit gangs through the Sword Coast, weaving stories of vast treasures he and his fellow mercenaries had acquired in the past. He enticed the bandits with promises of riches and the opportunity to carve their names into the annals of infamy.   Erun, the warlock, utilized his arcane prowess to showcase the adventurers' abilities and prowess in combat. He conjured a sword of green flames, displaying his magical skills in a mesmerizing display that left the bandits in awe.   Seeker presented himself as a loyal and disciplined fighter seeking a new group to fight for. He spoke of his unwavering dedication to the bandits' cause, emphasizing the importance of strength and merciless convictions in his endeavors. His unwavering conviction and aura of strength and skills convinced the bandits of his sincerity.   Together, the adventurers painted a vivid picture of their expertise, loyalty, and shared aspirations with the bandits. They emphasized the potential mutual benefits of joining forces, and Rivergard Keep holding dominion over the Dessarin Valley, presenting it as a grand opportunity for the bandits to extend wealth and power over the region.   The bandits, swayed by the adventurers' convincing performance, were intrigued by the prospect of bolstering their ranks with such skilled mercenaries. They welcomed the group into their stronghold, believing them to be valuable assets in their mission.   With their ruse successful, the adventurers had infiltrated Rivergard Keep without bloodshed, positioning themselves strategically to uncover the secrets hidden within and, ultimately, bring justice to the Dessarin Valley.
