The Company of the Green Eye

The Company of the Green Eye was made up of fourteen battle-hardened veterans, who for various reasons, had been kicked out of their homelands. They did gripe and grumble about the new guy giving them mapping duty, but at least they had full leave to slaughter any monstrosities that would get in their way.

They covered ground all knew well and several fights broke out over whether the water stream for the infirmary really branched to the north or the south. The second day, however, they came to unfamilar territory. (Nearly a full day of walking, mapping and fighting would do that). Really unfamilar territory. There was a lake in the shape of an arrow and at the tip, water flowed up a mold encrusted wall and entered a man sized tunnel. Forsythe, the leader, decided to make camp for eight hours of rest. He assigned first shift sentry duty to Tetch, the hairiest man alive and Bash, an archery expert (ask him for his real name, he removes some of your fingers). Seconds before they were due to wake Cudgel and Stew...
