A Wine Cellers Tale: The fate of Brulan & Frederick IV

The "Fight Club" debacle has caused an upheaval in the depths of the Cellars! The Elven Warrior-Seer Brulan Cobyr and his cousin Fredrick IV Adept of Tardone along with a single man-at-arms Hillwin have found themselves alone and lost somewhere deep in the bowels of the dungeon.

Brulan led his fellows on a mad dash as they escaped from the Fireball-frenzy unleashed by Varuna Lee! Avoiding irate creatures, brawling fans and dangers to dank to describe the trio eventually found themselves shelter in a seemingly abandoned room.

After a much needed rest the party makes a cursory search of the area and finds they are in an unused section that seems to have been a training area for gladiators.

A monster patrol was avoided, and a lone kobold was found scrounging the area. A Charm spell was cast and the little fellow was able to help the party understand more about their current location. They were in the old Purple Team section that has been abandoned for some time. Kehnee the kobold related that the secret treasury of the Purple team was still rumored to be hidden somewhere in this area.

The band decides to look for the treasury and soon found themselves facing a haggard Duergar warrior. Kehnee the kobold recognized the duergar as Flegar Garnetglory the head trainer of the Purple Team! After a parley of extensive drinking the group has pledged themselves as gladitorial recruits under the dark-dwarf master.

The new trainees worked hard for two-weeks cleaning up, working-out & patrolling their territory. Flegar was able to secure a Pre-game bout for his protege's and they assembled for the fight!

It was a Man vs. Beast battle and Fredrick IV, Brulan & Hillwin were up against a pair of giant swamp toads. The arena had been flooded  knee-deep with brackish water and bits of rotted trees were placed around as well. Sorcery was used to create thick fog, clouds of swarming gnats & putrid smells to befuddle the Gladiators.

In a surprising turn of events the Purple team pulled off a flawless victory and coins flowed into the coffers Garnetglory once more.

The chant of "Mess with Fred, you be Dead!" was ringing in the halls!

What happens next in the Wine Cellars? It's up to you.....
