Our heroes (from left to right) Vicar Bo the cleric, Batguy Bob the Black (African?) elven fighter, and Bolbah, the half-orc fighter, were tasked by the mayor of the small town of El Dorado to be the temporary sheriff and deputies. ViBo was the sheriff, while Batguy Bob and Bolbah were the deputies. The caveat to their new posts is that they are to avoid contact with Carl Grissom and his gang.
While hanging out at El Dorado's only tavern-inn (where almost all of our adventures seem to begin), we heard a scream from the upper floors. Our heroes rushed up the stairs and found a girl running from an upstairs room, followed by an angry half-naked man who was shouting, "Come back here, wench!" The man was Junior Grissom, son of Grissom Gang leader Carl Grissom. Thinking himself as some kind of privileged noble, he demanded that the girl be given to him.
