For years raiders from Caerloon had struck the southern countryside of the Kingdom of Rinder. A line of forts was built in an effort to stem these attacks, and patrols kept a close eye on the border. In recent months, however, a new commander in the Caerloon army had begun a new series of vicious, successful strikes on Rinder's troops and villages. The new commander was known as Mazen.

Fearful that Mazen's strikes were merely a prelude to a larger invasion, the Knights of Rinder, with the consent of the King, sent six brave adventurers on a dangerous mission. Canter, Storm, Edryd, Cyveiliog, Crayne, and Guilliam were sent south into northern Caerloon to find Mazen and bring him back to Rinder -- dead or alive.

Before their first night was out, these brave men, known to the villagers and peasants as 'Rinder's Six,' were attacked by agents of Caerloon. Following their roadside victory, they arrived at Fort Mitchend to a warm welcome. But things were not safe for long. The following morning found the fort's Captain murdered and the party the prime suspects.

A trip to the nearest fort to fetch the Knight was hampered by a brutal assault, an ambush, my Mazen's men in the forest. One of Rinder's Six, the fighter Canter, was captured as a few of Mazen's men (including a feared mage) escaped under a spell of invisibility. Arriving at Fort Dillend, the party was blessed and healed by a beautiful priestess, who also granted Edryd a very potent power of healing.

Continuing their journey into Caerloon, the party came upon an old, presumed abandoned mill and house. After Guilliam rescued Canter from his imprisonment in the mill, the party attacked Mazen's men. Setting fire to the mill, Crayne's magic and the sheer fighting power of Edryd, Storm, and Cy, combined with a crucial blow from Guilliam, succeeded in killing Mazen himself. Only a few of his men escaped, and those who did would never forget their encounter with Rinder's Six.
