Strange Mists and the Seer Gathering

They awakened in a cart.

It was normal except it was being driven by a brorian (bear-person), whose identity was unknown to all of the heroes. They took certain precautions to ensure their safety by removing the bear from the wheel and replacing the driver with one of their own. The adventurers continued through a thickening mist, which seemed to grow denser and denser no matter the direction they traveled.

Then, within the fog's depths, the Questers met an old, peculiar woman. She told them of a Sear Gathering that was very close to where they happened to be. Despite the odd circumstances, curiosity got the better of the heroes, so they were soon on their way.

When the adventurers arrived at the Seer Gathering, it was far more strange than anticipated. While there were many magical people selling magical objects, they found particular interest in one shop. The heroes wandered in and encountered a man who was, to their surprise, holding a giant, one foot pair of scissors! Even more surprisingly, he also was the keeper to a swirling portal of energy that led directly into the Spirit Realm. Without much warning, the nameless man opened it upon the heroes as they stood in his shop.

Engulfed by the portal's power, the Questers were swept in the Spirit Realm and soon met a group of warriors with the symbol of The Kingdom of Dawn embedded on their armor. Without provocation, the heroes were attacked, and a lengthy battle broke out! Sadly for our adventures, they we're captured and taken to a mysterious prison back in the Earth Realm.

As questions upon questions mired their thoughts about their fate and fortune, the Questers heard word of the reason behind why the Kingdom of Dawn warriors were in the Spirit Realm. It was not good news. The Kingdom of Dawn members were stealthily using this realm to travel to the White Wolf Nations, in complete secret!

No bars of iron could hold these adventures, and they were soon escaping! Getting out of their cells was fairly easy, but escaping the compound was a different story. After one failed attempt, the Questers recruited a shady man to aid them in their venture. He only had one requirement: the Questers would owe him a favor in return. Agreeing to his terms and gaining the man's succor, the Questers quickly escaped, headed into the forest, and continued their adventure.

In the forest, they came across a native tribe, who told them that if they helped collect three artifacts with the power to summon an archdeva who would besiege the compound, they would be spared and not eaten! The heroes set off to retrieve these items and were successful! With an old statue, and a strange mask with glowing eyes, they're well on their way to completing their quest...
