Intro. You have been wandering through the many tunnels in the underground of Etdark, a place filled with monsters so disgusting it's probably better not to mention them. You've lost track of how much time has passed since you had come from the kingdom in the overlord of Khirinia.
Tired, and out of many options, on what to do next down here, you begin searching for a place to stay and rest, maybe eat something actually edible. You've found an ogre hideout, with loot that could last you for days or weeks, and many cells where they probably keep prisoners.
Your best bet was to try getting some of these prisoners' help to defeat those ogres. And that's where you meet Trefol, sitting with his leg bound by a chain, still in royal and noble armor after you had stolen the key from a guard.
