Rumors had begun to surface across the southern trails of Alstalsia about a fire in an abandoned warehouse across the Dock.

Nothing substantial had turned up in regards to it, but whoever was responsible seems to be long gone.

------

A week earlier, a group of adventurers had made their way to Alstalsia at the behest of the Baldesion family. Their journey took them to a troubled Vineyard that had been struggling with recent harassment from supposed bandits.. riding on the suspicions of Silverfang involvement, the heroes trekked south to the Stinking Marsh, where a arduous journey through the treacherous landscape was rewarded with the glistening horizon of Bloody Bay.

After a good deal of searching, they followed the obscure whispers of the Silverfang to a old Warehouse on the Dock where the Silverfang had been storing pilfered wine from the Vineyard in question. After a difficult battle, the party found themselves face to face with the leader of the Silverfang himself. A swift battle was fought with a decisive loss to the Heroes side.. It seemed that he was no mere bandit.. and would not be an easy battle to win.

Deciding to retreat, the Heroes set fire to the building, trashing the Silverfangs stolen wares and forcing the leader to also flee.

Both sides escaped with their lives to fight another day.. But this story was far from over.
