The Four Adventurers so far have met the Moogles (small puppy like creaturse dealing only in silver), the Grabbles (Rock-like creatures from a seperate dimension who have an obsession with balance and harmony), the Kuribohs who are powderpuffs until they grow into dragonlike creatures [also living in a seperate dimension]), and the Dragonians living up in he clouds.

After facing off in the Undead Dungeon "...of Love", they manage to aquire the first talisman shard "...of Love". They then receive a dire message about the Sorcerer's entrance.

Upon leaving the messenger (who happened to be the Synthesist), they ended up near a lakeside town. They asked around and found out that this town was inhabited by an ancient healer, but the healer was at the lakeside trying to gather ingrediants for a sick villager. When they found the healer, he was face to face with a leviathon. They all rushed in to help and just as they got there, a mysterious hooded figure jumped and cut the head off of the beast. Unfortunately at this time, Achillion was under it when it fell and was completely crushed. The shadow elf fighter was name Achillious (wow, big name change) and decided to join the group. Now we've traded one smart ass for another. And now that I know he can lop of the head of a creature I throw at him, I need to throw stronger things at them.

After securing provisions to keep themselves relatively warm, they entered the Port and boarded a ship that would take them to the Frozen planet Capricon. On the whole, they felt slightly sick on the trip (wit exception to Jericho, who thorougly enjoyed the flight).

Upon reaching their destination, they managed to secure Crank, the Gnome Pilot of the ship, as one of their heroes and so set on foot to wherever they chose to go. Hours they traveled through the snow not having the slightest idea where they were headed, only to end up back at the spaceport.

Upon passing a challenging Intelligence check, the decided they needed a map and to be able to orient themselves in the snow. They, therefore, spent hours in the port learning about their new enviorment before setting off.

Now knowing where they were going, they decided to head to the castle town to the northwest. On their way, they encounterd a weird moving plant, which, when picked up, started to stangle Achillious. The only thing that managed to get it off and save him was the special sleeping powder that was given to Rai from the ancient healer on Libra.

A strange fog appears and puts the heroes to sleep. When Esme wakes up, her comrades are gone and she remembers nothing of them. A passing paladin named Lorna and her companion fox Todd happens upon them and after conversation about the ancient talisman, Lorna agrees to join Esme on her journey.

After a week of strange dreams, rabbit tracks, some plants that Esme can't fight, and the greatest cracker in the world, they happen upon a town that is encased in fog. It is dusk and a blizzard is approaching and their only hope for safety lies in the ominious portrayal of the dense fog where the townsfolk scream in terror...

In attempt not to loose each other, they tie themselves together and enter the town. Within moments, Esme feels the fear the townsfolk fear. She runs away in terror, the poorly-tied rope slackening and runs right out of the fog. Not realizing exactly what happened, she tries going in again and once again runs out in fear. Thinking that he third time is a charm, she runs in, gets scared and runs straight into the wall next to Lorna. Lorna, having seen a strange floating figure, knows there is something wrong in the town and wants to try to find it.

And this is where we begin...
