History

Deep Space Five

The newly formed Tilpanz Adventurer's Guild was sent to Pineforge to deal with the issue of some centaurs that were causing problems with local town folk. Upon investigating, the group found that the centaurs were peacefully migrating on a halfling caravan trail that was protected by the Treaty of Baris. The townsfolk were actually the ones causing a problem by encroaching on their lands for more lumber. The group took the matter up with Lord Kitchner, and after he denied them any justice, they went to his liegelord House Thorne.

After some negotiation, House Thorne agree that House Kitchner must stop (because the group stumbled onto the fact that they weren't paying taxes on the additional lumber) and put an end to the encroachment, honoring the treaty. The group also robbed Lord Kitchner, as he refused to pay the adventuring guild's fee.
