1Pillars of Eternity
Travelling with the caravan towards the Gilded Vale is attacked by local tribes. Almost everyone is killed by the attack and barely surviving encounter with the bandits another threat rises its head, a mysterious storm hit what’s left of the caravan. You and the guard manage to barely get inside a cave to safety, or so you thought. Exiting the cave let’s you and the guard witness a strange ritual, ritual that has unforeseen consequences. Energy released from the ritual knock you out and as you come back to your senses the guard is lying dead, and you are having visions of dead people. You can only start your way to Gilded Vale and hopefully get some answers from there.
