Chapter 1: Reunited with an Enemy

Plot points/Scenes

Three months after the founding of the Silent Isle the group has changed a bit. With the death of Knuckles the group was down a member. They lost another member when Ka'unaha informed them of his decision to head back to the mainland to investigate the murder of the previous Aouli pope. Bosh then took charge of the island and took residence in the old lighthouse now being retrofitted into his keep. Diaz opened a tavern and began life as Bosh's general or man at arms. they began searching for a man who could map and explore the island. They found one Ulysses Turlock, a hunter by trade who knew his way around a forest. As the town became more habitable people began too show up as well. An Aouli tree frog from the far away lands beyond the Atmos Mountains arrived and offered his service to the group. Things were going smoothly until news from the outside world reached their island...
The King of Alteria had died and his daughter the Lady Asche became queen. unlike her father she wanted to reignite the war with Vestonia . In addition they heard of a growing rebellion among the Snow Dwarves of Sozar .

They decided to see the Duchess of Rivenlock to see if they could offer their services as a mercenary company to aid in the rebellion. Although they hadn't officially decided on which side they would be helping. The Duchess sent them with a letter of introduction to the northern duchy of Quendar. They stopped in the capital of Highmark for a week to resupply. While there Diaz found his ex captain Abas Silverring . Abas was running a shipping company and seemed to have forgiven Abas for taking his eye after they were captured by the Alterian navy during their pirate days. Abas claimed to have found religion and said he forgave Diaz. That night however Diaz who chose to sleep outside was kidnapped.
The rest of the group went straight to Abas who said he had nothing to do with it. Tua hid in the shadows and saw Abas eventually leave down a secret passage in the back of the warehouse. The rest of the group tried to inform the guards but they seemed unable or unwilling to help.
After Abas came back through the passage and back to his office Tua explored the underground tunnel and found Diaz and a couple other humanoids locked in single cells. Diaz was released but as they were about to escape footsteps echoed in the halls. They came up with a quick plan.
Abas came back down to Diaz's cell and began to gloat. He was getting ready to stab dias with a rapier when Tua fired two darts from the shadows. Diaz then thrust his own dagger into Abas's gut killing him. They then fled and escaped.
On their way to inform the police they saw two other people along the way who looked identical to Abas... these too were killed. The next day they decided it was time to leave but they were given a note with the address of a secret location. following it they found themselves in an underground arena.
They entered into the fight and were greeted by a slew of large monstrous Kruthik. after the battle they were cheered by the audience and the second round began. A metal gorgon bull plowed into the ring and began to attempt to trample or pin any he could. Eventually even he was killed by the combined might of the group. The final round began and Abas entered the arena.
