Fangs in the Dark
A daring escape from the clutches of Gnoll marauders liberates you from a life of brutal servitude, yet your struggle for survival continues… for now you find yourself alone and unarmed, beset by unseen horrors that lie in wait at every turn, with only your wits, your courage, and your strength to sustain you.
The party has been captured by Gnolls that have been ravaging the countryside, and begin play imprisoned in the back of a penal wagon carrying them off to the Gnoll lair to be killed and eaten. However, when the cart breaks a wheel, the party escapes, and must flee through the forest, unarmored and weaponless, all the while being stalked by a pack of ravenous wolves.
After a harrowing journey, the party finally ends up in the small village of Sevenoaks. Sevenoaks was once under the purview of a heroic Paladin known as the Vermillion Knight, but he has not been heard from in years, and his keep now lays dormant. They meet a man named Vincent, who claims to be a distant descendant of the Knight and the last surviving heir to the castle, and he offers to outfit the party with weapons and armor if they investigate the keep and clear it out of any dangers.
The party, without many options, eventually heads to the keep of the Vermillion Knight in search of glory and treasure. But they may have bitten off more than they can chew, and soon find they've gone straight from the frying pan into the fire.
