From the introduction: The desperate villagers of Raven's Breach have hired a group of intrepid adventurers to find two missing teen boys; the eighth and ninth of their children to go missing in the last six months. While no bodies have been found, hunters from the village have found evidence leading to a dwarven mine in the mountains 18 miles to the north. The villagers are perplexed, as the dwarves have never been aggressive. Some suspect that whoever abducted their children may have also brought harm upon the miners, who've not traded with the villagers in some time.
