Battle of Bloodstone Pass

Military action

Year of the Serpent

Zhengyi disappeared for two years as his puppet rulers squabbled and conspired against one another until Baron Tranth of Bloodstone Village called on a band of adventurers to aid his cause. A paladin by the name of Gareth Dragonsbane, faced off against Zhengyi’s bandit army which was led by the High Priest of Orcus, Banak. He rallied the people of Bloodstone Pass and defeated the invaders. In the Year of the Serpent (DR 1359), Zhengyi's bandit army was defeated in the Battle of Bloodstone Pass, including many of Colgran's forces of Palischuk. In the ensuing chaos, the half-orcs of Palischuk rose up and overthrew Colgran, his remaining armies and his troll pets.   Gareth and his companions then routed the minions of Orcus from the Bloodstone Mines, opening the way for the Barony to regain some of the wealth it had lost. Gareth, now betrothed to Tranth’s daughter Christine, organized the villagers to build defenses and fortifications for the battle he knew would come.
