Introduction
Several years in the past

"Beautifuls, I got a new mission for you." You still remember Williams charming if slightly leacherous grin. He made no secret about the reason why exactly he had become acting guildmaster of this town and always seemed to welcome the presence of comely females. "I know you aren't that experienced working together, but it shouldn't be a big deal.
A young wizard, calling himself 'The great Overlord' has been causing some problems. After he took out one agent sent after him, turned him into a girl, then used the brainwashed agent to break into one of our vaults and steal a staff I've decided to sent a whole group. He's a wizard, so just take him out before he can finish any dangerous spells, lets get this megalonmaniac locked up before he can become a serious problem girls."
You remember William handing you a file. Perhaps you carefully studied it, perhaps you didn't bother. Perhaps you were actually swooning over William.. many girls did. He was actually among the elite 10 of heroes, at number 9, though many say if he honed his skill and stopped flirting with girls he'd be closer to 5 or 6 quickly. There isn't any ranking for 'heroic newcomers' like you, though if there were, you'd be in the higher hundreds, still William is always respectful.. in a slightly perverted way. You remember seeing a blonde slap him and send him flying, but you also heard tales about him slaying a large dragon. For now, you had a mission to complete, about this overlord:
Jack Carter, a half-elf human wizard and student of enchantment magic, dropped out from the mages college after several disciplinary issues. He is noted for having quite the talent but lacking the patience to see it through. After a severe penalty for trying to charm a teacher he decided to leave, having last been noted as posessing spells of the second grade, with a potential of having unlocked the third by now. A loner who never fit in, he now seems to have gone mad, planning to 'rule the world' in what would be comical..
If he hadn't stolen a rare artifact. The orb of Arkana the Iron Maiden, a lesser artifact with transmuting and enchanting powers, it is feared that if 'Overlord Jack' learns to fully control this item in due time he'd become a possible threat for even elite heroes. The staff is noted for a variety of transmutive powers but was deemed too dangerous, corrupting and uncontrollable to fully explore all of its powers.
It was exeptionally easy to track down your target as he seemed to like a flamboyant showing, however, you quickly realized that he was not to be underestimated, his hideout, a small tower, holding several magical traps that could have overcome a lesser adventurer group. Luckily you all had some experience already and through skill or maybe pure luck you pushed through, forcing the would be overlord to flee and freeing the women he had enslaved as his servants, agreeing to never again speak about the room that made your bodies so hot you just had to touch yourselfs, an enchantment you almost succumbed to. You looted his tower, rested and recovered and prepared to hunt him down again, to finally bring him to justice, now that he ran out of dangerous traps to hide behind.
Tracking the evildoer down again he was talking (Knowledge arcana 10 or more):
some gibberish about leylines and a nexus, the usual villainous bla bla about how he was too smart to be defeated and better than you.. before suddenly ramming the staff into the ground. You remember the staffs crystal beginning to glow brightly..
And that, that was when everything went weird.
In one moment, Jack was gone and so was the magic of this place.. infact, your foe must have cast a powerful spell, because most of the magic of the area drained away slowly and the walls of the dungeon around you crumbled.
Not only that, but your surroundings seemed to have changed, as you step outside the place is overgrown and, where once there was nothing but fields and a distant village, you are now near the border of a small city. The city seems well kept, with a strong defensive wall around it and a large stone statue guarding, looming over the entrance:
The Statue has something dark about it (Will DC 13 or: ) But that just adds to its charm making it a powerful sight to scare off any foes.
It seems you have been teleported, possibly quite a distance. It's a different time of the day, a different ruin and your surroundings have changed. It seems that little upstart mage got away once more, best to figure out where you are and inform The Heroes Guild there should be an outpost, if not a small guildhall in a town this size.
You think you see a guard standing at the towns entrance, though they don't look like serious trouble, you should consider how to proceed now, after recovering from the sudden shift in your surroundings.
At your current location you find a magic dampened zone for some reason, the magic of this place has drained away and spellcasting is more strenous. Any spells duration is shortened by 1 round. Metamagic only functions in 50% of cases.

About a focus of arcane power where several leylines of natural arcane energies saturated the surroundings, allowing him to fully release the poewrs of the artifact
