Major Villain:  Emperor of Spines

==== Chapter I ====

The player characters, who had never met each other before, all answer a call for help in the city of Bilcore made by the local constabulary. Kobolds have been sighted on the outskirts of town and have even attacked a few of the outlaying farms. The PC's make quick work of the Kobolds only to be attacked on there way back to town by a team of relatively well organized goblins who seem to be looking for them. The arrive in Bilcore to find it under attack by more goblins. The PC's dispatch the goblins in the city hall just as the Salvation Army arrives, despite their treaty with Castletown not allowing them on Siverow soil. Major Weebalo Brenn Bahamus enlists the PC's to get word to King Lucian that Siverow is under attack from the Goblin Kingdom.

==== Chapter II ====

On the road to Castletown, the PC's are attacked once again by more goblinoids that seem to be hunting them. They make a side trip to rescue a Treant being used by the goblins to pull water from it's own Elemental Plane. 

==== Chapter III ====

The PC's arrive at Castletown and gain an audience with King Lucian, who seems highly uninterested in either the goblin's attacks or their mysterious plots to draw water energy with Treants. He is moderatly concerned that his bride to be, Princess Apricot, has gone missing, and believes that the sinister Emperor of Spines is behind it. He does enlist the PC's to deal with the problems, though they believe he did this just to get rid if them.

==== Chapter IV ====

With no where else to start their search, the players decide to head to Old Man Port to see Kermy , a wise oracle who runs a monastery Zorth of the city. After a few minor altercations along the way they arrive in Old Man Port, and soon after, Kermy's Ashram. Unfortunatly, the Ashram was under attack by the Emperor of Spines fat son, Ray. With a pair of old monks named after the two most popular Inn's in Siverow looking, and taunting, on from above, they dealt with Ray swiftly and mercilessly. They released Kermy and, with luck, Princess Apricot, who was being held by Ray also. Or had she?!?!?

==== Chapter V ====

Kermy's advice was to head for Old Man Port and keep the princess safe while he checked out a few leads. On the way back to the Port, a large airship careens over their heads on a collision course with the city. A large crash punctuates the ships decent, and the PC's make haste for the site. They arrive in Old Man Port to find the crashed airship jutting out of the middle of the market district. Storming the ship and confronting another of the Emperor of Spines sons, Wolfgang, the PC's stop a dangerous plot to gain access to the cities subterranean tunnels. 

==== Chapter VI ====

Kermy shows back up to tell the PC's that another Airship was seen floating in the waters to the Zouth. Given the only way to effectivly traverse the ocean floor is to gain a merfolks blessing, the players charter a boat and set sail for the last place merfolk were ever seen, the reefs around a small island. Upon arriving, however, they find the reefs empty. The island is populated with a strange half merfolk, half raccoon humanoid. They agree to hald the PC's if they help rid them of a nuisance. Two sons of the Emperor have possessed a statue of the island and are making trouble for them. The PC's cleared Ziggy and Norton out of the statue, but are then confronted by Princess Apricot, who was really Kemak, a shape changer working for the Emperor. Jack Quinn falls in love as the pretty in pink princess morphs into an evil bug monster. The PC's then gain the merfolks blessing and leave just as the Salvation Army arrives again to dole out soup and blankets to victims of the Emperor of Spines, as well as take credit for the PC's efforts.

==== Chapter VII ====

Traveling on the ocean floor, the PC's encounter agents of the Emperor along with enslaved sea creatures, which tells them they are on the right trail. The trail ends at a magical bubble concealing a massive centuries old adamantium deposit on the sea floor. The Emperor only daughter, Wilhelmina, is attempting to mine as much of the metal as possible  and sending up to her ship. The players dispatch her and the golem holding her phylactery. Jack decides to keep the phylactery rather than destroy it because he has once again fallen in love, and this time is holding the card to make his hearts desires to come true.

==== Chapter VIII ====

On their return to Siverow the PCs are confronted by U.E.D. mercenaries that have been supposedly hired by King Lucian. They are arrested under suspicion of kidnapping Princess Apricot, who they were seen fleeing Old Man Port with.In transit back to Castletown, the motorized wagon carrying the PCs is attacked by Kermy, Optimus Pine, and a mysterious halfling rogue with a great sword. After rescuing the PCs, they tell them about the Kings Betrayal and the Emperors attempts to recover his lost power from the Dire Fiend. The halfling brings them to Aethis on the Rogue Hammer, only to find it under attack by more UED forces. The mercenaries have made their way into Drakeberg Mountain and are underway in their efforts to siphon the Fiends power out of the Plane of Cold without releasing him. The PCs stopped the Emperors mages from completeing their ritual, however this also destabilized the seal blocking the plane, and in a burst of magical energy the PCs were transported to the icy tundra of the Elemental Plane of Cold and rendered unconscious

==== Chapter IX ====

The PCs awoke to find themselves in a small dwelling just as a large man in animal furs left. Leaving the home of their rescuer, Jack decided he could use the same method to escape the plane as he had to arrive there, going to sleep. After a short nap he arrived in the Urf's village, who agreed to help the party if they could retrive their shirts from the dragon Azreal's castle. The players did, and the Urfs recovered their power. Now all that was left was to return to Smearth and stop the Emperor of spines once and for all.

==== Chapter X ====

The Emperor of Spines had taken over Fortress Von Castle and the PC's were geared up for a final assault. After battling through the Emperors minions, that last of his children, and a partially constructed adamantium mobile fortress, they face down the Emperor himself. The Emperor paid for his crimes with his life, and the PC's closed a book that was opened a hundred years ago. Princess Apricot took over as ruler of Castletown in King Lucian's absence, and made the PC's official Royal Guardsmen.
