A chronology of events so far<serif>

On the continent of Talamn, of the world called Glastrea, is a small town called Falcon's Hollow. Our story started with a group of adventurers who come together under the leadership of a cleric of Heironeious named Jhaelin.  This group of companions accepted a quest to find rare reagents that would be used to cure a spreading plague called the black scour taint.  They ventured north, deep into the dark wood forest, encountering many obstacles, finding those reagents.  One was located within an ancient dwarven monastery.  Friends were made, and friends were lost along the way.  Successful, the companions returned to the Hollow and the plague was cured.  The heroes were rewarded with land, money, and local prestige. But the monastery called to some, beckoned them back, and most of the party did go back, seeking to know the secrets beneath that monastery.  They never returned. Almost a year has passed.

One night, the mystery of the missing cemetery cadavers in Falcon's Hollow was solved when two deputies of the sheriff catch the culprit unawares.  The man is subdued and thrown into the gaol's cell to await judgement of the magistrate the following day, but fate chose a different path.  The gaol was breached by a half-ogre minion, freeing the cadaver taking necromancer.  Incidentally, or maybe deliberately, a man was killed in this action and the fugitive flees north.  A group comes together in the wee hours of the morning by happenstance, discovering the murder, and they decide that whoever perpetrated the murderous act had to be tracked down and dealt with.  Together they would find the fugitive and return him to the gaol.  Unbeknownst to this party, a local priestess' daughter has been abducted by minions of the necromancer for an evil sacrificial rite the day before and a party is sent to rescue her.  The two parties merge, when the fugitive is tracked to a farmstead outside of Falcon's Hollow to the north.  A fight ensues, the priestess is rescued, the murderer killed, and Zarrin the necromancer escapes by a scroll of recall.  The party makes its way back to Falcon's Hollow with a recovered evil item known as a Book of Vile Darkness.  The prelate of the church of Iomedae gives unto the companions a quest to destroy the book.  They must venture beneath Droskar's monastery and find the Foundry of Souls where the book can be destroyed upon the forge's anvil.

In the course of events, the party discovers their taking of the this valuable item is now known by bad actors...
