Ratcatchers

The word was spit at the group leaving town with swords strapped to their backs. “Ratcatchers”, a pejorative that had lost its sting after the first dozen uses. Sure, the group had gotten their start clearing out tarven basements and old barns, but after a few years, they had established themselves as competent adventurers, certainly capable of more than simple pest control.Their next contract pointed them in the direction of a giant spiders’ nest not far outside of town. They’d picked up a few doses of antivenom, and established a plan: Eliminate the spiders, save the farmer’s cattle, get paid, and move on to the next village in need. It’s a simple routine, but certainly more than catching rats. No great political plots, or world-ending cataclysm here. You make up the members of a small band of travelling adventurers, moving from town to town, dealing with people’s problems along the way. The start of the campaign will pit the party against local threats, perhaps a pack of wolves harassing villagers, or a particularly aggressive troll in the foothills outside of town. As your accomplishments grow, so too will your reputation, and you will have the opportunity to take on bigger and more dangerous threats across the world of Ilara.
