The Dark Gaping Maw...and the Cult of Ga!

A local street urchin shows up in a tavern with a bag of riches, proceeds to share his good fortune with the entire tavern, gets drunk and regales his new "friends" with tales of the dungeon below the city where he found it. Unguarded treasure...free for the taking!

There was apparently more, but he took all he could stuff into a sack. In his drunkenness, he ended up speaking freely of where the dungeon would be found...and the race was on!

PCs enter dungeon in search of riches. Fought stirges, a giant frog, whip-scorpions, centipedes, skeletons, etc. but more importantly, discovered a dazed band of goblins in the service of a strange, demon-god entitity named, Ga.

Ga, the mongrelman priest of Chaos, had opened a gate to the plane of Pandemonium and was using it to create abominations. The heroes defeated Ga and toppled the gate

The Forsaken Temple of the Serpent King

The PCs hear rumors about lizard-folk raiding the outskirts of Stormhaven and hauling away helpless citizens. After some investigation, the heroes track the lizard-folk to an ancient ziggurat located in mangrove swamps west of the city.

Once at the ziggurat, the PCs discover that villagers are being sacrificed by lizard-men, apparently to appease their God so that the tribe may produce offspring once more. The normally peaceful tribe has been subverted by an evil Lizard King, King Greenscales, who demands these sacrifices. After defeating Greenscales, the PCs learn that the lizard-folk are in exile from their ancestral home of Sacred Rock. Their tribe will perish if they do not return their eggs to that holy site.

The Demonstone
The PCs travel to the Forlorn Hills, north of Stormhaven, in search of the Demonstone, to hunt and slay the man-eating demon which have taken up home in the lizard-mens' ancestral home. Once there, they encounter and dispatch a pack of hell-hounds, en route to the Demonstone. At the Demonstone, they encounter a pride of manticores.

After defeating the mantcores, they delve deeper and find an abandoned Duergar city in the Darkness Below.

The Darkness Below
The party investigates the Duergar city and encounters a dracolisk. Saliq is stoned and the party decides to flee. Saliq's stoned body is hauled out and Eagle flies to Stormhaven to purchase a stone to flesh scroll. Saliq is restored and the party decides to leave the Duegrar city for another day. While preparing to leave, the party sees a group of ogres in the distance leading chained human slaves to an unknown fate. The party intervenes and defeats the ogres. One of the captured ogres says they serve a master called One-Horn. They later learn from a nearby village, Windham, the ogres have waged a terrible raiding campaign against the nearby villages and request help. The PCs agree and track the ogres to a ruined keep, the lair of The Horned One.

Against the Horned One
The party is hired by the Mayor of Windham to defeat an band of plundering ogres ruled by One Horn. They travel to a ruined keep west of the village and discover the ogres are merely minions of a demon named The Horned One. They battle ogres, demons, and ghasts. Several party members are slain in the epic battle that ensues, but fortunately their spoils enable Eagle to resurrect his most of his companions. Sadly, Norion is lost in the process. For their efforts, the heroes are awarded a tract of land just south of the village and earn the  everlasting respect of the villagers.

Longshadows
The party returns to Stormhaven and begins investigating a mysterious tower in Oldhaven. Inside they encounter a flesh golem, wights, spiders, stirges and a host of other minions, before finally tracking down a vampire, and namesake of the tower. The vampire turns out to be none other than Lord Myron, an petty noble the party (mostly Ben) had long had their suspicions about. Longshadows is defeated in combat and the party eventually finds the vampire's inner sanctum and destroys the monster for good. Along the way, they make the acquaintance of one Madame Drucilla, a kindly ghost trapped within the ruined tower.

Slitering Overload
The party was approached by the Lord Mayor of Stormhaven to take on a mission against an evil Naga who has attacked a Temple of Pelor and stolen holy relics and kidnapped three members of the clergy. The party followed the Naga to a lair beneath the city, guarded by troglodyte minions. The party dispatched the troglodytes and defeated the Naga. Having recovered the relics and order members, the party is treated to a heroes welcome and has earned the respect and admiration of the city's elite.
