Shortly afterwords, two more travellers appear in Nevonshire; Mikau (The Soldier) and Calle (The Thief). At the advice of the Elder, they set out in search of Enix and Lance... Both haven't returned either...
Some time after that, three new travellers arrive; Trisk (The Soldier), Elion (The Soldier), and Lucrus (The Mage). They set out to find out the meanings behind the mysterious monster appearances, and the disappearances of the other travellers... Lucrus never returned...
Trisk and Elion returned to Nevonshire, barely escaping with thier lives. Elion decided to build a house for himself, in Nevonshire, and hasn't yet finished.
Trisk however, still looking for work, heads to the local Inn for some rest and relaxation. Inside, the Inn Keeper mentions about the new dancer at the Pub; Mina. He decides to go see the show. After being memorized by the dancer's grace, he decides to call it a night. During the night, the village is ransacked and Mina's Broach and the Elder's Spell Scroll were stolen.
Trisk takes the opprotunity to make a name for himself, by recovering the stolen items and ridding the village of its thief problem. Mina decides to join him just to make sure she gets her broach back. They set out into the field, fending off hoardes of monsters. Until they come across a boulder that wont budge... When suddenly, they are snuck up upon by Calix (The Priest) and Richard Rahl (The Mage). Calix had followed them in secret, apparently becuase he had the hots for Mina... and wanted to help out. Richard joined up with them becuase he had tricked Calix into paying him for his services, and expects a total of 36,000 Gold. He won't leave until he gets it, and Calix tricked Trisk into taking over the debt for him.
After many tries from Trisk and Calix, the boulder still wouldn't budge. Leave it to Richard (note: he's a mage) to push it out of the way....
Continuing on, they find the entrance to the cave where Thorag and his band of Thieves are hiding out. After navigating their way through the dark cave, they came upon Thorag himself. Thorag, who turned out to be a demon, summoned two Shadows to do his bidding. Mina tried to memorize Thorag with her dance, by he wasn't swayed. Thorag picked Mina up, and tossed her across the room, rendering her motionless. Trisk, enraged, attacked Thorag head on. But, his rage got the best of him and Trisk missed, leaving himself open for attack. Calix healed, on occasion, and swung at Thorag, barely scraping the monster. Richard cast powerful magic against the enemy, until he was stricken dead with one fatal slash of the demon's claws. Trisk then attacked again, decapitating the hideous creature, and avenged Richard's death. With Mina healed, the stolen items recovered, and a pocket full of gold, Trisk and company returned to Nevonshire. Trisk returned the scroll only to find it not to be the right scroll, and the Elder had it the whole time! (He forgot to check his pockets!) Calix left to go revive Richard. Mina returned to her job as a dancer. Trisk retired to the inn for a well deserved rest...
And now, two new travellers arrive... Isaac (The Fighter) and Cryus "The Virus" (The Thief)... Their purpose for arrival is still a mystery....
