KNIGHTS BELOW adventuring group returns to surface world and gets back to work
The Knights Below adventuring party ended their high level campaign quest to destroy the epic legendary monster The Web. This quest ended successfully, but with quite a cost in terms of destruction of the Undercity where the action took place. Rumours now surround the group concerning a vast - truly vast - fortune recovered from the lairs of the evil ones the group defeated.
THE KNIGHTS BELOW are: Max Press -- Ogre-Giant Explorer; Thulaine -- Rogue; Slaughterhouse -- Amazon Assassin; Stephan Halarr -- Swashbuckling Sorceror; Viscount Owen Jenozev -- blueblooded swashbuckler; Nighthawk -- Kenku Princess; Chola -- Fire Mage extraordinaire; Teffle -- Grandmaster Swordsman; Iron Butterfly -- Warrior Monk. They were aided in their quests by several allies, including: Piper -- Dark Elf Bard; The Prisoner -- renegade Vampire swashbuckler; the Deep Gnomes of the Undercity; the Gladiators of the Dungeon Arena settlement of Beacon, and the mysterious fish race of Bichirs who dwell in the canals of Level Two of the Undercity.
