One of the children rescued by the heroes was a 2nd time escapee. Originally he had been kidnapped by unknown assailants, along with his entire caravan. Unluckily he managed to be scooped up by Zark and stuffed in a box, ready to be sold to Gods knows who.
Harrowleaf charged Braxus and Moraine to investigate the tower named by the child as the source of his original abductors. Kaddim had a similar destination in mind when asked by his parents to look for Senna, his childhood playmate.
Tristram tagged along for the ride, lured by money and power.
The tower was easy enough to find, yet it had been destroyed (years ago by the looks of it) by some sort of arcane explosion. The elven mage who owned the tower, Numeshay Odeken had a drow student who stupidly opened a portal to a realm of demons and let some of them in…

In the wreckage of the tower the heroes fought Abattoir Wolves, the so-called devil dogs described by the rescued child.
Descending into the lower levels, undestroyed by the explosion, the party faced Dire Rats, a rat-like demon, a Spitting Drake and a truly disgusting toilet, into which they did not dare enter.

Finding and defeating Kaddim’s long-lost friend, who had become a Ghoul Warlock and retrieved her family signet-ring the party started to look on this entire area as an intriguing find. Tristram’s mind started to tick over.
The ultimate challenge came in the form of a dretch whom they destroyed almost instantly in a fit of fury due to the treatment of the young elf.
Missing the red robe and magical orb, but you get the picture
The portal still open and the dungeon as yet no fully explored, the heroes made their way back to Loudwater, wiser, stronger and yet still without a solution to the slaver problem.
