Good People,
Here is the setting for our little adventure. If you want to work your PC background into this somehow, so much the better...
The Grey Hart are a motley crew of a hundred or so mercenary fighters and their hangers on. The company is notionally in the employ of the Marquis de Boors, though their morally "agile" leader -- Sir Trevor Sanguine -- is ever open to opportunity. Alas that no such prospect has arisen recently!
The Grey Hart have been assigned to reconnoitering the muddy moorlands between Vessalt and Damaque for much of the waning campaign season without much to show for it. Most of the men (and other sorts) are tired of mud and cold feet, and disgruntled with the lack of purpose, homely comforts, and especially loot! The best of the grub is long gone, winter is coming, and the rumours say the outriders have already begun deserting. Then again, rumour always has it the outriders are deserting...
So it is that when our grizzled party of misfits come across an uncharted ruin hidden in a misty bog scarcely a day out from the Hart's encampment, they take it upon themselves to investigate. Should they happen to unearth fabulous treasures... well, there'd be no particularly good reason to share it with the Grey Hart would there?
