Scumbags of Steel Haven

After reading about Venger's recent 5E game, I got a little inspired to work up a little post of my own sort of adding on to what he described was happening in his campaign world.  Venger, I hope you don't mind me playing in your sandbox a little bit.

Chaos in Steel Haven

Things were moving quickly, the kingdom of Steel Haven would surely soon be erupting into anarchy!  King Torvil Lionheart was slain, murdered by a band of so-called adventurers he had hired to acquire him yet another magical blade, a flaming sword, that very sword had apparently been used to behead the tyrannical but affable king. 

Now was the time to act, while things were still in chaos...

The Velvet Bishop would no doubt be making his move,

  or even worse that crazy wizard Delgado

the time to act was now...

 Niamh the Seductress of Ashurr

      Niamh quickly assembled her band of misfits, she would have preferred a more skilled (and reliable, not to mention hygienic) group for this task, but time wasn't an option.  While the castle was in chaos and the guards were distracted Niamh gathered the band of riff raff that she had available, scouring the jails and cells below the castle she found what she was looking for...mostly, offering them their freedom in exchange for performing a mission for her, they agreed (more or less), grabbing what gear was available (some of their previous equipment was still stored nearby) and without further delay Niamh sent them into the deeper dungeons below Steel Haven Castle...
