The Elf King- coupled alongside Tyrian, Aeronwen and Merca- launched a raid into an urban complex in Hemenster to try and hunt down associates of rebel forces. What they found instead, was a cartographer who seemed to speak far too much- also imprisoned by the royal guard, in need of his cartographic skillset- and a woman who, on the sidelines, decided to take up the offer of joining them for a short while; as a woman of elven heritage, named Summer Rose.

Along the journey to an inn on the northern outskirts of Hemenster, several more party members would be acquired- Bronwen and Olivander, among others- before the elves arrived upstairs at the inn. After a brief game to learn about one another, the party retired to rest;
as Merca began to instruct one of the party members on a more discreet task.

While on a trip through the County of Baxtorian, King Nolfinwë, Bronwen, Aeronwen, Merca, Elias, Aventius, Summer and Aelwen found themselves moving on a local fishing village situated on a lake. As they turned a corner, however, a stream of smoke was seen billowing from the sky. Moving in to assess the situation, the group found broken down walls, a few burnt houses and a ransacked town; its inhabitants missing.

After splitting up to continue the hunt for whoever was responsible for this- Aeronwen, Bronwen and Elias moving to follow a local trail while the others stuck to the town- a would-be assassin made a strike against the king; narrowly missing. While Merca shielded her King, Aventius returned fire and Summer moved into pursuit.

While Aeronwen investigated a nearly-deserted camp of local bandits, discovering a hidden trapdoor and investigating for themselves; Nolfinwë, Summer, Merca and Aventius moved underground in pursuit of the assassin. Discovering an underground network beneath the town, it was then that they met up with Aeronwen and Elias again down a twisting, dark corridor before they set to work freeing the prisoners and removing the slaver presence from the area.

With the town of elves freed, the group returned home to safety in Hailawën. Merca was awarded for her leadership skills with the new rank of Capten, Summer with a bag of gold, and Aventius was awarded the rank of Recriwtio Posibl. The group finished off with a question game around the dining room.
