Our story starts, as all good stories do, in a tavern… specifically, Oakbrew’s Tavern in the town of Phandalin. There, you learned of your mission: travel to the previously lost Wave Echo Cave, defeat any monsters that have taken over, and ensure no one with nefarious intentions gains control over its fabled Forge of Spells. You’ve been sent on this mission by Sildar Hallwinter, a member of Montalimin’s Gold Guard who is working with Gundren Rockseeker and his brothers. (Montalimin is the biggest city in the realm, beyond the Crimson Tops mountains, and its Gold Guard are known as chivalrous knights who work to ensure peace and prosperity in the region).
Four members of your group (Hadove, Grumblestan, Lizzie Rose, and Hans) are familiar with Gundren Rockseeker, as some were hired to guard a Rockseeker caravan and all were part of his rescue from bandits in the area. They were also part of ridding the town of the Redbrand Ruffians, a local gang that was wreaking havoc, and the townsfolk are thankful.
