Among these who answered the call are you three. The reason you might had answered the call could be plenty, whether it was for the hope of gaining glory, the desire to obtain the powerful relics and resources that could make even the richest merchants drool with envy, or some entirely different motive didn't matter.
The fact remained that this cavern needed to be conquered or Earthland could become overrun by the denizen of the Void. Three powerful champions, whatever cause they represented, today they would have to work together to survive and succeed.
Up ahead behind a collective of barricades, the cavern loomed, battalions of knights standing ready to fend off an invasion at any moment. At the encampment, several groups had gathered already, seemingly in the midst of discussing their course of action.
Soon one of the leaders of the knights arrived, a middle-aged man, although judging from the air of confidence and the way he carried himself he was a warrior who had seen his share of conflict.
"Great, you have arrived. I'll keep the briefing short since we don't know how long till the next wave appears. From past expeditions, we confirmed that the cavern connects to random points inside the void, so your group will likely be isolated from the others at first.
Although your objective will be to secure the way to the throne chamber where the leader of these void-empowered kobolds awaits, I doubt it will be a simple walk in the park. The castle is overrun by kobolds and other monstrosities, and to make matters worse the throne chamber is sealed by a barrier that will only break if you slay the champions protecting it.
Your goal will be to find this champion, slay it and make your way to the throne room where you will rendezvous with the other groups and form a strike team to take out the abomination that awaits you within. Can't say much about who or what he is, aside from that the massive fiend killed an entire legion of my best men with just one swing of his weapon..."
He groaned for a moment as he gestured at the cavern. "Once the boss is slain you'll be teleported back here where as promised compensation awaits you, whatever treasure you find inside the cavern is yours to keep as well."
Just as he finished speaking the cavern seemed to be pulsing with voidal energy, as if beckoning the challengers into its domain. The knights at the barricades seemed on edge, a few still busy tending to their injured comrades or dragging the corpses of the fallen away from the gate.
