  In Year One of RenQuest:

We met Thoren Grymm, leader of the Band of the Twisted Claw, seemingly a roaming band of gypsies who happened to arrive at Bristol at the same time as a sleeping dragon.


The dragon, Bloodtharken, was bewitched to remain asleep so that she wouldn’t destroy Bristol. But the evil Draco Disciples sabotaged the spell so that Bloodtharken would awaken.


Since the sheriff would not allow the Band to roam the streets of Bristol, our players tried to discover the Draco Disciple spy in camp and to find the legendary weapon (The Spear of Ascalon) to slay the dragon once and for all.


In the end, Thom, an Order of the Sun mage, turned out to be possessed by the spirit of the last leader of the Draco Disciples. Our players banished the spirit, killed the dragon and were the heroes of the town.


Thoren was left to wonder why he trusted the young mage in the first place.

In Year Two of RenQuest:

The Band of the Twisted Claw proved themselves to Bristol and were allowed a bit more freedom to roam the town. They set up two ancillary camps for The Order of the Sun and the Lunar Tribe.


The death of the dragon called back The Elemental Paragons Ð four beings who each embody a specific element of the world. We learned that the Paragons created the dragon Bloodtharken many centuries ago to punish a girl named Druscilla. Druscilla befriended the Paragons, learned their powers, but went to serve the Dark Goddess to become the most powerful being in the world. The Paragons trapped Druscilla’s soul and all her magical ability in the body of the dragon so that she could not harm anyone.


But with the dragon dead, and Druscilla’s powerful soul roaming the earth without rhyme or reason, we saw that she laid a single egg Ð and the egg would not hatch without a guardian who controlled all four of the elements. Our players raced to learn the elements from the Paragons before the Draco Disciples could train a champion of their own.


In the end, the Paragons performed a complex spell to set Druscilla’s soul to rest forever so that the players could become the surrogate parents of the egg. But Lady Tso, the new leader of the Draco Disciples and one of the last descendants of Druscilla herself, interrupted the spell and trapped Druscilla’s soul inside a gem. Lady Tso controls all those centuries of stored powerÉ even the Paragons would not challenge her for fear that they would destroy all of Bristol.


The Paragons told Thoren that he needed to train Draco Hunters to combat Tso and her forces. Thoren tried to argue, but the paragons revealed that he had a half-sister whom he could trust to help him: the bard, Talia Tale.

 

Now in Year Three:

Bristol does not trust the Band of the Twisted Claw anymore. They failed to get rid of the ’dragon infestation’ and insulted the noble Lady Tso.


The Draco Disciples are bold with their power, they terrorize anyone associated with the Band of the Twisted Claw. Other camps of the Band of the Twisted Claw have been completely destroyed by the Draco Disciples and refugees flee to Thoren’s group for protection. There are a few citizens in Bristol who are sympathetic to the Band, but they are few and far between.


Thoren has never spoken of his past, but now an ’old friend’ of his has arrived in Bristol to help deal with the Draco Disciples. Thoren trusts him completely, and the Band was quickly won over with his dashing ways, but people are curious as to how the two of them met.


The Paragons have retreated into themselves. The loss of Druscilla’s soul was a dire blow against their plans to forever rid the world of the Dark Goddess and theyÕre trying to come up with a new plan.


And the egg... is going to hatch.
