Prologue
It's a Trap!! A woman going by the name of Adara, was going on her patrol until a higher ranked rebel told her that their scouts spotted a caravan full of humans was on its way towards the east. Her orders were to simply to destroy the warforged and rescue the prisoners. Adara accepted the orders and fellow rebels followed her under her command. The team went east on the main road and found a large caravan moving on east. The caravan was well protected by warforged. Adara and her group launched a surprise assault on the caravan. While Adara was claimed victorious over the caravan, it came at a price at the death of her comrades. Adara inspected the caravan only to her surprise that it was empty. Not a single human was present inside the caravan. Adara rested for a little while and eventually she saw smoke coming from where she left. She dashed on her steed conjured by magic towards Shadowdale. Adara then saw that Shadowdale has become a war zone. The warforged were on the offensive and the town was under siege.

 * Dirk went to the town where he gets his work from and stormed in looking for Iron Scourge 56, the warforged giving him work to do for the warforged.
 * Dirk stormed into Iron Scourge 56's office demanding to know why his gang was captured.
 * Iron Scourge replied that those were orders from the higher up and he had no control over that.

 * An old magic shop clerk might know something about the dale that they're looking for.

 * The party gathered information on trying to find the person that is head of this town and made their way to a town hall to find out that there was a council that basically ran the town.
 * The council and party talked for a while and ultimately, the council had agreed to ally themselves with the resistance.
 * Rangrim went on his own to mine some of the town's ore.
 * While mining, Rangrim saw a warforged army being led by five different colored warforged: Two red, one white, one blue, and one gold.
 * The gold one shoved Rangrim aside but Rangrim felt defiant and stood his ground.
 * The gold warforged roughed Rangrim up a good amount to the point that he was a bloody mess.
 * Rangrim ran off, because the gold warforged allowed him, to warn the others of what he has saw.
 * The town shortly became overran with warforged thus screams and death filled the cavernous air.
 * Adara and Mylantha told Rangrim that they were the Shining Quintette, the elite five of the warforged army, and this would not be a fight that they could win.
 * Adara and Mylantha told the council to tell the people to evacuate the town immediately through the other exit behind the town.
 * The party ran from the town, killing warforged and aiding the townsfolk on their way out.
 * The council made it out alright, but the number of townsfolk was much less than before due to capture or worse.
 * The party escorted the townsfolk back to Shadowdale via teleportation.
 * The council left to the resistance to talk about matters that have happened.
 * Later that night, Eek and Squeek went to see Dirk and Rangrim; Kamiel wanted to see them both. Kamiel told Dirk about a job offer, which was a reconnaissance job to spy on some hooded guys that walked into town while the party was away. His intel told him that they devil worshipers also. Dirk has decided to take on the job.
 * Kamiel told him that whatever information he records on the devil worshippers, to keep it a secret from the resistance.
 * Kamiel wanted Rangrim to tell him about the location of Tarkhaldale, but Rangrim stood silent.
 * The silent treatment angered the gnoll and threatened his life and said that he can very well make it like he never existed.
 * Dirk eventually told Kamiel where Tarkhaldale was.
 * Kamiel quickly gained his composure and dispersed the meeting also saying the meeting never happened. It was from that moment, that Rangrim made a powerful enemy.

Chapter III: The Tortured Land's Master Offers His Hand in Both Friendship and Malice
the dracolich was bound to Kam and thus couldn't kill Kam on his own. The castle itself was a creature of chaos and thus memories of this place would not serve them at all.
 * Not long before Kamiel was talking to Rangrim and Dirk, three hooded men went to Adara's house requesting an audience.
 * Adara let them in and wanted to know what they needed of her.
 * They explained that their master, Kam, wanted to see her.
 * Adara's face was in mild shock and said that she would agree to meet with him tomorrow.
 * They accepted her request and left her.
 * Adara's face turned pale after they left and she leaned on the door.
 * Word on the street said that three hooded guys were looking for Adara; and with that info, Dirk went to Adara's house.
 * Dirk finds Adara drunk and rather moody due to her hooded visitors.
 * Late at night, Mylantha was attacked by one of the hooded men.

 * They met up with a man in black plate who described himself as Kam, lord of the castle and the land that he surveyed and Adara's father.
 * He offer was his services provided that both Adara and Mylantha stay with Kam.
 * The party were skeptical and were told to sleep on it in hopes to reconsider.
 * The party was attacked (except for Adara) in their sleep but was easily foiled. It was then the party wanted to find a way out of this stronghold.
 * Our heroes ventured deep within its depths only to find a ritual circle meant to sacrifice Adara and fought off the magic circle's defenses.
 * The heroes then witnessed in terror an ancient rune dracolich.
 * The old dracolich requested in exchange for their lives, to kill Kam himself giving the dracolich his freedom.
 * The dracolich explained a few things once the party accepted the dracolich's terms:
 * The party spent the night at the dracolich's den and then ventured through its vile corridors to kill its master.
 * Our heroes met up with Kam and an epic battle ensued but the party had Kam fleeing in mist form behind his walls to a secret chamber, where our heroes followed quickly.
 * It was not long before they met up with Kam's secret coffin and destroyed it.
 * Rangrim captured Kam's mist form into a bag of holding. Soon after the castle began to crumble with our heroes still in it.
 * The party instead of dying from the falling rubble, was rescued by the dracolich.
 * Dirk has enraged the beast with a remark that Rangrim could have power over him.
 * The dracolich then threatened to kill them all unless Rangrim explained himself.
 * Rangrim explained that Kam is inside the bag of holding.
 * The dracolich cast a ritual on Rangrim which bound him to the dracolich. Should Kam ever be released, the dracolich would kill him and all he held dear.
 * Mylantha was also warned that even though she had control over the demons, they are conspiring against her; also should they meet again, the dracolich would not hold back against Mylantha. The dracolich then leaves the party.

 * The party met up with Dirk and went up to Kamiel's house to see that it was completely empty but they found a hidden compartment inside his office.
 * Dirk was giving his two copper about the resistance snuffing out Kamiel for something he did not do, but Adara would not hear of it.
 * The party then followed the trail to a labyrinth of traps.

 * Dirk feeling disgusted with the situation, he decided to cheese it leaving the rest of the party to fight Kamiel.
 * Kamiel falls dead in his hydra form before the party.
 * The party followed on the trail and it followed to another office of Kamiel.
 * The three heroes rummage through Kamiel's belongings to see a list of his transactions of what he sold and who he sold it to. The party learned that he also had dealings with the warforged as well. They pinpointed the poison and the client was none other than Logan himself.

 * Mylantha received a note revealing the whereabouts of the book that Niles was after. It was located in the ruins in the lake of mist.
 * The party quickly made their way towards the ruins, soon to realize afterwards that the warforged beat them to the ruins led by Fonerim of The Shining Quintette.
 * A fight quickly ensued but our heroes prevailed scratching out one more member of the warforged elite force.
 * The party made their way deeper into the depths to see three immortal beings: a human, a deva, and an eladrin. They are the claimed guardians of the book.

 * Adara was full of questions and wanted to know what happened after Connor left with Toshiro a year ago.
 * Toshiro was in a panic state and said he did not know that the events he led would lead to this nightmare again.
 * Toshiro explained to the confused Adara that he traveled back in time and met up with Bloodwing of the past; he was not sure that the events would repeat itself based on what he saw.
 * This bit of information greatly infuriated Adara for he allowed the events to happen again.
 * He begged for forgiveness but he then his eyes glowed bright red and turned on the party abruptly.
 * Toshiro admitted that he turned on Bloodwing but lost the fight and left for dead. It was then Niles took his body and performed experiments on him turning him into a construct abomination.

 * Adara wasted no time rushing towards Brutus and attacking the wires and Goldeshkino quickly reacted by attacking the party.
 * Goldeshkino died and Brutus was cut free from the wall.
 * The party saw a magic circle inside the very room, which led to a pocket dimension; presumed to lead to Niles himself.
 * Our heroes went inside scaling the dimensional tower evading its hi tech traps.
 * They eventually made their way to what appears to be Niles's private lab.
 * Our heroes saw what was the last remaining member of The Shining Quintette dissected on an operating table; this of course angers Metal and Wood.
 * The party noticed black goo emerging from the warforged and formed a huge sentinel (Shadow Devil); the party came out victorious.
 * Mylantha noticed that there was a huge green pillar from the beginning of the dimension and figured it was a giant container of souls sustaining the very dimension.
 * The party look upon a book which appears to be Niles's journal that contains records of his adventurous exploits, theories, and notes containing his warforged creations.
 * Interesting things worth noting is that in his notes is a hypothesis that there must always be a Bloodwing to maintain the world's stability and EC-01's defect of free will; while Niles's was unsure on how EC-01 (aka Metal and Wood) obtained a pure free will, he tried to emulate his unique and powerful trait with The Shining Quintette.
 * Our Heroes scaled up the last set of stairs to see themselves within the depths of space and Niles standing before them gazing upon the depths of it all.
 * The encounter between our heroes and the mad scientist ensued; Metal and Wood dealt the final blow but did not stop there for the rage he felt toward Niles was relentless as he chopped his remains into unrecognizable bits.

 * Rangrim did not know exactly the location, but the three explained that Baern was giving merchandise that was not his to give and must pay certain penalties.
 * The three men leave the house and Rangrim looked out a window to see that they greet a hooded figure.
 * The hooded figure points to Rangrim before leaving, which Rangrim notices that the hand resembles that of a furry hand.
 * This stirs a bad feeling in Rangrim's gut and runs to Adara and company about the situation.
 * Logan decides to confront the mob of these events and take the stuff by force and places Rangrim in charge of this task, due to being familiar with these sort of villains.
 * Rangrim decided to take a look at The Bee's Knees tavern for some intel.
 * Rangrim asked a random drunk but the drunk lashes out for he doesn't answer to no boy scout.
 * Through some intimidation, Rangrim got answers and was directed to Eek's house back to Shadowdale's slums.
 * The party met up with a cowardly hiding Eek.
 * Eek explained that the mob was here and based on all the bad things that were going on, he wanted nothing to do what was going on.
 * Adara threatened Eek's life for her usual patience with underhandedness is less than desirable.
 * Eek told the party of a secret underground cavern where the mob places its stash.
 * Based on Eek's credibility, they head to the location of the hideout.
 * Rangrim and company venture the underground cavern where the mob placed the stash, but it is not without company for there were goons willing to protect it.
 * The goons did not really put up much of a fight for they died quickly.
 * Rangrim saw a chain dangling in the water; fearning the worst, Rangrim quickly pulls the chains out of the water and it was none other than the pale corpse Baern.
 * Rangrim ran into the other room blindly walking into disaster, where the three ne're-do-wells from before dwell.
 * Much to the mob's dismay, only one of the three mobsters from before survived before the rest surrendered. Our heroes prevailed against such criminals with ease.
 * Adara had set the terms that the rest of them may live provided that they never bother Shadowdale or its residents again.
 * The mob agreed to the terms and the party left the mob to sulk in their defeat, but not without Rangrim taking Baern's body.
 * Not long after, Rangrim took his friend's body in hopes that he desires a resurrection.
 * Eight hours later Rangrim sees a now healthy Baern to wish him thanks for helping him back there.
 * The resistance retained its access to better merchandise mob free.

Chapter XI: Eyes set on Bloodwing's Capital

 * Our heroes regrouped with Logan to plan on how to storm Archendale, Bloodwing's capital.
 * After some various rejected ideas, the party came up with the idea to marching into Archendale as merchants, forging Kamiel's paperwork for authenticity, since Bloodwing does business work with him and bringing with them plenty of explosives.
 * Rangrim taught all the people that were coming for the storming how to stash the explosives without suspicion.
 * Logan in the meantime was contacting other resistance leaders of his teams accomplishments in hopes to unite the resistance once more.

 * The warforged guards got out its true sight lens and saw directly through her disguise, revealing for the first time to her party, that she is indeed a doppleganger.
 * The warforged demanded why the disguised was put on.
 * Adara replied that during these rough times, it was required.
 * After some arguing back and forth, Adara managed to gain access through the woods.
 * The merchant caravans were told to stay on the main road protected by the warforged because there's an aberrant infestation in the woods.
 * The party was escorted by warforged ensuring that they stayed on the main road provided for them.
 * The party followed the main road for a while and screams were heard in the distance and the warforged escorts went to check it out only to die.
 * Our heroes were left to fend for themselves fighting against the infestation while travelling deeper into the woods.
 * The merchant caravans eventually made their way to Archendale.
 * After reaching the next warforged watch post, Adara reamed into the warforged for the pathetic attempt of caring for their merchants.
 * The heroes explored Archendale and while there is a strong warforged presence, there is a mixed variety of races.
 * The party laid site to a menacing castle towering high above any of Archendale's structures with two drakes flying around its highest point.
 * The resistance decided on a plan to lay explosives throughout the town that would cause the most commotion and/or destruction.

 * The party was confused as to find Dirk within castle grounds.
 * Dirk replied enjoying perks except with the draft that comes from the back of the chair.
 * Adara went to explore the draft but not without causing a slight tear with a dagger to the chair.
 * The party saw a hidden passage passed the throne (how cliche).
 * Dirk then decided to say his goodbyes then made his leave with an invisible potion.
 * Moments after Dirk's departure Reshkarr comes in shouting Dirk's name just wanting to hang out, only to see four unwanted visitors.
 * Reshkarr then decided to let his two drake friends inside the throne.
 * It was not long before a fight began between Reshkarr, the drakes, and our heroes.
 * The party forced Reshkarr to escape.
 * Our heroes walked down the hidden path and before long, they walked into an abominable organic corridor (Think Contra's Alien Hive).
 * The party fights through the abberant abominations to their way to the giant sphere constructed of bodies upon bodies floating in the air.
 * Adara and company fly their way up to the abberrant sphere and attack it.
 * The bodies eventually fall apart failing to keep the sphere shape; all but one.
 * The one body appears revenant shape with black hair and lands to the ground and his gear materializes.
 * Rangrim makes the deduction that the revenant is Bloodwing.
 * The revenant shouts out, "DO NOT CALL ME THAT!".
 * Our heroes clash in the battle for The Dalelands.
 * The party is successful in slaying the tyrant and the sword of Bane on the floor before them; the corpse later is decapitated.
 * Metal and Wood walked towards the sword and took a mighty swing to it shattering the sword and the vast amount of souls accumulated over the years start to fly out.
 * One soul, however, flies into Bloodwing.

Chapter XII: Chaos rears its Pyschotic Head

 * The once presumed corpse of Bloodwing rises up and another head pops up in its place.
 * "Bloodwing" thanked them for destroying the sword.
 * The party was confused as he said that.
 * "Bloodwing" looked at the broken sword and began to taunt Bane and his gullability as the sword changed color to its original color (I assumed it originally a metallic blue color).
 * Mylantha put two and two together and realized as she gazed in terror that they were looking at Cyric.
 * Cyric looked into Mylantha and said he had to go.
 * Cyric opened a portal and left.
 * The party followed him into the portal and it took them to Shadowdale and ran towards Logan's direction.
 * Cyric beat them to Logan.
 * The confused Logan wanted to know what was going on.
 * Mylantha told them who he was.
 * Cyric told the party he was after the book that our heroes took from the ruins.
 * Logan quickly refused.
 * Cyric deducted that Logan did not believe his identity, so he took out his sword and stabbed Logan with it.
 * Adara quickly reacted to the stab hopefully preventing Logan's demise, but to no avail for she witnessed his soul leaving Logan's body into the sword.
 * Cyric declared he would try to turn the world upside down with as much calamity as possible.
 * Other rebel leaders met up with Adara for the meeting.
 * After all the other leaders learned the updated events, they decided the best course of action is to storm Archendale while it is in disarray.
 * Adara believed that the warforged would be no longer a threat with Bloodwing gone.
 * The other leaders quickly dismissed her statement for they have been at war and the only way to deal with the metallic monsters are to kill them outright.

Epilogue
Mylantha
 * Mylantha decided to travel with McCallister to Innarlith to learn more about Cyric's third coming.

Dirk
 * After things died down in the throne room, Dirk came back and took Bloodwing's chair and ran back to Daggerdale.
 * He basically waltzed right in and took it over after a few beatings here and headlocks there.

Metal and Wood
 * Metal and Wood ran back to Archendale and learned that the warforged now had a will of their own
 * It was then Metal and Wood surrendered himself to the capital and was taken to the authorities in the barracks.
 * Metal and Wood said how he took down Bloodwing, which later had the warforged confused on why he turned himself in.
 * Metal and Wood explained that how the resistance plan on storming Archendale totally destroying all the warforged.
 * The warforged become nervous but are willing to fight for their right to exist.
 * Metal and Wood suggested that they flee for now.
 * The warforged went along with Metal and Wood's suggestion and decided to evacuate Archendale.

Adara and Rangrim
 * Adara and Rangrim decided to lead their faction to Archendale with the other factions to Archendale to try to talk sense into them for one last time.
 * Just before they make their way into Archendale, Metal and Wood stood before them.
 * Metal and Wood tell the resistance that they no longer reside in Archendale.
 * Adara and Rangrim try one more time to convince the group.
 * While some of the members' hearts wavered, for the most part, it fell on deaf ears.
 * The members with the steel resolve, charged forward and Metal and Wood stood his ground cleaving the resistance members right and left.
 * With the members that stood behind, Adara ordered them to regroup back at Shadowdale for now to plan their strategy.
