A special ring enchanted to grant the wearer incredibly power has shown some incredibly negative effects. It sucks the life out of living nearby beings and actually deteriorates nearby objects as well if it’s in one place for too long. The party is recruited to bring the ring to a Dwarf who lives in solitude with a hammer said to be so powerful, it could obliterate powerful magical items with a single strike. He is aware of the situation and has agreed to help. However, the ring is targeted by some evil forces and has been launching attacks on the Wizard and his tower ever since he created the ring. He expects the party to be attacked as well on the way to this Dwarf. Plot twist: As soon as they get to the Dwarf and he is about to strike his hammer down unto the ring, he is incapacitated by an arrow and the group is attacked one more, they need to defeat this last boss battle and destroy the ring. If they’re smart, they’ll use a turn or two destroy the ring DURING the battle and then keep fighting.
