There Be Vitraxine in Thar Hills!

General Summary

In the small town of Kellmouth in Lochmalan, a new Vitraxine mine has been discovered by Prospector Bram Ironvein. Or there might be? After returning to town to collect some miners to bring proof the entire party has disappeared. Was it a mine cave in? A cruel trick by the prospector? Or something more ominous?   Meanwhile, Jann Vic has been keeping an eye out from the gate for any sign of the party. To help wile away the time, he often chats with his friend and the new blacksmith in town, Maelor Brightbane. They were in one of these revelries when they noticed two figures walking in toward the city.   The inn was getting ready for the more robust parts of the day: the ferryman had returned from the docks, the laborers ending their shifts with the setting sun, and an unspoken need for some revelry as everyone awaits word for a loved one or friend that had gone to the mine.   As the figures drew closer, Jann was excited to make out the faces of Korin, the thane of the depleting copper mine, and Tellen, a traveling laborer. These were two of the mining party! Though even as the joy swept him and he called out to the two, something was nagging him. As they entered the village, their veins and eyes warned these were not the same people who had left a week before: vibrant verdant and violet spread across their skin and pupils and upon reaching a range to attack the struck out at Jann.   Maelor jumped to defend his friend, using his massive hammer to shove the assailants away. The noise led some of the patrons in the inn to come running as well. Pip Undercroak, adrenaline rushing at the prospect of adventure, made a valiant attempt with his slingshot but found his pull too strong breaking the cords. Boc Boulderroc, following his latest victim pupil of his mushroom mastery, found himself pulled into the fray as well, attempting to throw sleep-inducing mushrooms into the mouths of these creatures. Unfortunately, their slack jaws did little in the way of chewing to apply the lulling effects. The barkeep and owner of the inn, Tabzik, attempted to keep, Mira away from her father Korin while also fending these friend-turned-foes away with a stoking iron.   None stood out quite as much as Jann who, while attempting to press away those attack his friends, found himself grappling with the uncontrolled power from his forebearers as a portal to Ignefti opened behind him pressing flame and heat into Korin leading to the miner's veins to burn red hot like molten metal.
