Frank (as an NPC): You guys have all come here at an interesting time. A time when one could say we do need adventurers. Heroes even.
Orma: ''That's not us.''
Mogar: ''What about some halfwits?''Template:Infobox show

Synopsis
Set in a world with an ongoing war between our heroes dwelling and another city (Jackalheart), our band of five are enlisted soldiers trained and being sailed over to help with the battle efforts. Tasked with infiltrating the city, they are caught up in a mysterious incident that decimates the fleet with them having been thrown clear at the last second by their Battlemage superior. With a Featherfall spell cast upon them they land unharmed in the jungle nearby the opposing city and must go about their mission regardless. Unfortunately they're very good at getting sidetracked.

Trivia
- Geoff estimates that this campaign will take ~18 months, possibly 2 years if Ryan continues to derail them with his shenanigans.
- The campaign was originally supposed to be sci-fi based, but Matt and Burnie asked them to do fantasy instead, because that’s what most people associate with D&D.
- Gus and Frank have been playing D&D together since their sophomore year of high school & it was their Latin teacher who introduced them to it.
- Orma was originally created as a “revolving” character, meaning that a different guest would play her each session. hence the memory loss/personality switch. however, the logistics were trickier than they were anticipating and Griffon got attached, so while someone else will play Orma every once in a while, Griffon will appear more regularly than originally planned.
