The pay seemed to good to be true, which people should know if something seems to good to be true it is. Never the less it attracted attention from all sorts for various things, money, fame, power, women, all these were promised to the people who could complete the task. Five ancient artifacts scattered across the land, each it's own key to riches for those who hold it. Wide spreed rioting started. For every wet behind ear adventure and thug started to search for these relics of the past. Time past and eventually all were collected. Through raiding of personal collections, grave robbing, or good old fashion adventuring, The five of you got your tickets to your destiny. Good job!<br/><br/>You gather at a scholar's mansion and he tells you of your riches. Taking you to the house's observatory he talks about how not only were each of the relics ancient objects with rich histories of their own, but were actually all part of the same item centuries before that. With that said he waves his arm as shows you a large metal ring sitting next to his telescope. He takes each of your pieces and starts to fit them together on the ring. Sliding the last piece in lighting crackles through out it and it lifts into the air. He tells you it's a portal to a world full of riches ripe for the taking. All you have to do is go and get it! The lighting starts to pick up and starts to tear apart the roof. Through the portal you see a pair of shadowing eyes cutting down to your very soul. The scholar looks confused and scared mumbling to himself how this can't be right.<br/><br/>The five of you and the scholar are lifted up and sucked through the portal. Each of you feel your body being crushed and sucked of you energy. You come out on the other side of the portal. Everything was blurry but you see a group of men in platemail coming towards you before you blackout. The next thing you remember is waking up in a cell. You're body was too weak to move and your mind in a fog. An elven man shows up in a white robe. He has men in platemail carry you off to a room full of strange things. Tools of healers and necromancer together things of nightmares, yet he seemed so at home. There he tortured you with needles and dark magic everyday for weeks. There's nothing you find yourself able to do to stop him.<br/><br/>One night after his torment you hear the pitter patter of a small animal. Then you hear someone call out<strong>"Hello? Angels? are you here?"</strong>Then you see a halfing with slight feline features walk out in front of your cells.<strong>"Oh! there you ares! Yay!"</strong>She scampers off to the place where the elf opens your cells and opens all five of yours.<strong>"There! Now I can hear you guys too!"</strong>She stands there rather proud of herself almost like she was expecting praise from the five of you.<br/><br/>[All have you have tons of ability damage. Str and Dex are both at 0, while Int, Wis, and Cha are a 9. All your stuff is gone too. All you have is some silly robe that opens in the back.]
