The brief:
Drængr Thar was a compulsive raider. Every season he set out to raid the towns and temples of the Sword Coast, and every season he came back loaded with gold, silver and valuable captives. To raid with Drængr Thar was considered a great honour, and many young men fought for his attention to gain a place in his fleet of longboats.
A month ago, Drængr Thar set out on another one of his great voyages. However, upon his return to to port, his ship was beset by a wrathful storm. The storm’s fury was so great, it splintered his longboat’s mast and drowned several of the crew.
Pushed far off course, Drængr and the survivors finally found shelter in a northern inlet, dozens of miles away from the nearest Mercenary settlement. Badly wounded, Drængr feared that his begotten treasures would not make it home to his family, so he sent two hearty men running down the coast to find aid.
Drængr was startled to be approached one morning by a strange woman who called herself queen of the land. She admonished Drængr to present himself to her king, King Ulfric, who kept a hunting lodge nearby. Scoffing at the idea that there was a king who lived in the wilderness here, Drængr and his men found the lodge abandoned. They decided to take it over, and hauled their treasure into its hall.
Later that night, Drængr and his men awoke to a terrible sound. Their boat was being torn apart by a savage troll. Unable to hurt the monster, they retreated back to the lodge. But they were ambushed in the woods by the silent dead – draugr– who dragged many of the men under the earth to their ancient burial mounds.
Drængr survived the initial attack and ordered his men to barricade the lodge. But the next night, the draugr returned and Drængr was unable to fight them off. He and the surviving men were taken into the earth to face the resentful King Ulfric, lord of the land’s draugr.
Meanwhile, Drængr Thar’s scouts finally reached the nearby town of Goldshore. Not knowing their warlord’s dark fate, they pleaded for the town to send a boat to rescue Drængr. Promised by the appeal of treasure and the favors that might be bestowed by a great war leader, a band of Adventurers sailed north to find the Drængr Thar’s hidden inlet...
