When the King Comes Knocking:The Upper Tunnels

In their first journey together as a group, the heroes were hired by the Dwarves of Forgehome to investigate a mining team that had lost contact with the hold. They discovered that a necromancer and disciple of Torog, Valkarias, had taken control over a colony of myconids and was forcing them to spread his evil work.

The band of heroes also met with the Heart-Spore, the queen of the myconids, who pleaded to them to release them from the grip of the necromancer. The heroes did this, but not before Kristoph lit the Heart-Spore on fire.

Once Valkarias had been defeated, they found his journal, which reported about his mistress who lives in Moon-crazed Malebrethyr, the City of the Sunken Towers.

Among the necromancers prisoners was the dragonborn cleric Straka, who decided to join the adventurers in their pursuit. They also freed a team of mutilated miners, who were led by the steadfast Anargim.
