On a warm winter day, thirteen adventures gathered on the Mystical Isle to discover that they had been joined by a mysterious giant who came armed for battle. One of the heroes stepped forward to proclaim: “We shall battle for honor, for glory, and for possession of a flag.” The promise of possessing an invaluable strip of colorful cloth overjoyed the fourteen adventurers who soon split into two factions, each with their own priceless pennon. One contingent fled to the Eastern Shore and the other to West Point.
The two outfits fought for quite some time for possession of the tantalizing colored emblems of honor but eventually decided that they were just too evenly matched for either to win. Deciding to simply share the bounty equally, they gleefully returned to the Faraway Leaf Inn for refreshing beverages.
Unfortunately, their camaraderie was soon broken by the revelation that there was a traitor in their midst. Again! It took them quite some time, but they eventually discovered all of the traitors and executed them. A passing mage then revived the traitors as honest souls.
