The dhampir Vandal has defeated the Kobolt King Gyahn and the Noble Orc Bugogan, saved Zadilis and the other ghouls in the grotto, become a Ghoul King, and made plenty of new allies along the way. Vandal wants to keep the ghouls safe and is not yet ready to face the human threats that still pursue him. So he decides to lead his allies to fresh pastures in order to first consolidate their fighting strength. Along the way, the party faces encounters with unknown monsters and many of the ghouls give birth. They finally overcome these challenges to arrive at the ruined demon barren of Talosheim--where a welcome that none of them could have expected awaits!
