The Bad Company

Only days ago you were in the Emperor's throne room, and presented an ultimatum that the Emperor was was clearly loathe to give. A band of brutal brigands has been lying in wait on the country's roads, waylaying passing travelers, and giving no quarter in their plunder. A gravely injured witness of one such attack gave a description to the townsfolk who found her before passing from the mortal realm. She described a broad-shouldered warrior, a stout dwarf, a stealthy elf, and a powerful mage. The Emperor has been unable to quell the rumors that have spread, serving to turn your fame into infamy. With aid from the Emperor's scouts, you have tracked this group to a once abandoned keep. You must find and slay the four brigands so your good names will be restored.
