An Introduction – Shrouded

Most adventures begin unexpectedly and, so it had rightly been assumed, our new-found party's would be equally fungible.

 
The Awful Waffle Inn nestles into a rustic corner of Baldur's Gate's Lower City. Nearby the creeping forest battles evermore against the chiseled city walls – a meeting place for dwellers of both regions, separating their extremes with soulful music, tales, food and ale a plenty. 

A delightful odour wafts through the tavern that smells of warm butter and tender meat, at least to those whose senses could pick anything up beyond the stench of musty beer stained deep into every inch of wood from the floor, upwards. Atop one of those ale-stained wooden tables, four adventurers sit in varied proportions as a hearty conversation ricochets between them.

Marishka, Aja, Lif and Aurelius have finished boasting of their latest journeys and honed in on a single topic: An Evil Witch. All seem interested in this being for reasons of their own: vanquishing evil, understanding the necrotic powers she holds, stealing the wealth in her lair and hoping to discover the truths it may hold. Long-shots, all of them.

The group decides to join forces in order to battle a singular one.
