The group arrived at a port town on there way to the next job, thou only three of these guys had arrived from the main freelance company, three seemed to be enough. Their guide met them at the local tavern where Fredrick sat in the corner watching the people around him, being wary that he isn’t noticed by anyone due to him being a Worgen. After buying some wine and mead for the journey the local tavern owner managed to swindle one of the guys out of 5gp cause of the wine but his wife scolded him for it. About six hours into the trek they came up to a camp (after our ranger decided to scout ahead of the group) where the next guide sat waiting for them. Aldrich introduced himself after the first guide legged it, he was apparently scared sh*tless of the Grand Master for the Death Knights in which the group soon will find out why.
The next day they met a local knight who was also a member of the city’s guard, he had told Aldrich that three members of his order had gone missing while on patrol, he had passed along the message to the group when he was asked what was wrong. One of the group muttered “either they had too much to drink or was captured” but away they went as quick as their mounts could travel, by the time they arrived to the city, the people watched as they walked towards the black tower thou two boys glared at the warlock, he flashed his fangs at them for a bit of fun and was rewarded with a stone thrown at the back of his head. They arrived and was greeted by the Grand Master who was apparently a Dwarf, he greeted them and offered them some food, upon walking towards the meeting hall, Thorin was rudely insulted by a female Drow, after an exchange of insulting words between each other, she finds that the amulet that is around Thorin’s neck was given to him by her eldest sister.
After a while Aldrich returns with the three missing knights who was found in the caverns beneath the graveyard, the Grand Master asked the group to join him in antler-room, there he explained they mission details to the group and the only person to walk away sad after they meeting was Fredrick due to the necromancy cards were taken from him. When approaching the mission area with caution they found that the placed was already open with claws marks on the outside, they walked in carefully in which Aldrich found a hole in the ground and jumped into the unknown. After a few minutes walking they arrived to large room which was being watched over by a Wight who was actually a Death Knight who was already dead. They were offered to take what they wanted from what they could find, near a 1000 gold was found including gems, weapons from the old kingdom was brought to light including an enchanted longbow, obsidian short sword, spear and a repeating crossbow. The shaft of the spear, bodies of the longbow and crossbow were made from Nalwood, Nalwood was part of the forgotten kingdom that can hold a magical charge, the protector of the underneath warned of an evil that was on the surface and pointed where the back door was instead of using the hole in the roof.
Upon arriving outside Aldrich saw that three of his brother knights was taken down by their fellow knight whom was standing beside a tall mysterious person thou our sneaky ranger noticed that both the knight and figure looked almost the same as if they were related but before he could do anything, Aldrich charged into battle to challenge the traitor but is taken down. While the group battled the zombies a war-cry came in from their right, glancing over they saw the Grand Master charge through the zombies with successful results, as he looked around for the Lich he found that there were no more enemies. The Drow captain and three other knights joined the fray but was a few minutes late, they helped their fellow knights get to safety, Aldrich had reported about the three captains that were missing which got his mentor to sigh heavily,

and with that everyone marched back to the black tower to lick their wounds.
