The first mission.
6 they were when they left, and 6 they were when they came back. The most unusual group to ever walk the roads of tenacia. And that's saying a lot, ten bless me, that's saying a whole frakking lot!!
But they were not the same when they left, full of hope and pride, and when they came back, filled with dread and determination. The mission had gone wrong, somehow, and ark'thor was dead. I can still remember his eyes, filled with the need to gain respect, the thirst for adventure and battle, he was good, heck, he was one of the best. A goliath of unsurpassed strenght. Dead.... like the rest of them. I can still remember all their eyes.
The mission was simple,go in and destroy a small operation of monsters just out of the boundaries of tenacia. We lacked information by our employer. The caverns complex belonged to the Dark Queen. That in itself should have waranted a higher level team, one with some actual field experience together. But that would have been only if we knew she was not there. No one would have been sent if we knew she was there. Those new guys are really good to have lost only one there. And at least they brought back Nym, a weird little guy, but useful. I must go now, this whole story just reminded me of the names, all of the names.... i must go to bed... maybe i will see them in my dreams.

The second mission.
They learn so well these youngsters, they learn so well it fills my heart with pride. Second mission for the 6th group was a complete success, beyond expectations. Standard mission, a group of hobgoblins was threatening a frontier town. I sent them by boat to Yaest, the roads in the jungle are not safe at this point of the year, mostly because it's Umber hulk breeding season. The rivers aren't either, what with the gigantic river snakes, but if i'm given a choice between horny umber hulks and hungry river snakes, i'll take the snakes.
They got to the encampment. It was a bit larger then expected, but that did not deter them. Using clever hit and run tactics they thrimmed down the numbers before using a final assault that took care of the rest. What a surprise when they also freed the daughter of a rich merchant lord. He was VERY grateful. I think they're learning very well, and i'll assign a tougher mission for them next time.

OOG information
Ark'thor was party leader before surreal, he went down fighting a humongous brute in the Dark Queen's Lair. Surreal got promoted to party leading afterwards.
Upgrading items will be as followed:
every chapter house has a ritual chamber, where you can use Jumdee crystals, these are mostly made out of the remains of monsters using a complicated martial ritual. Using these jumdee crystals, you can augment your chosen magic items.
For instance. A hobgoblin heart, in the last mission, was worth 50gp. Mostly it's the heart, but at other times it can be another piece. Of course, you can still buy Jumdee crystals with your gold, at a standard rate. To upgrade your weapons, you must be in a chapter house.
