The Tavernkeeper's secret

Manage your tavern, or head back out into the world for revenge

On the continent of Uleth, life is simple, people often form adventuring parties to take on quests defending others from vicious monsters, bandits or even retrieving specific items or artifacts for people. The continent is home to humans, elves, dwarves, Wild folk, Tezzarians, and goblins, these races intergrating into villages and towns together as they try to work together for a better future. Warriors, mages, and rogues fighting together to complete jobs and earn gold and notoriety, with the most sucessful groups earning huge paydays and being offered the most lucrative jobs, and while not every party is successful, a few formidible groups have formed together over the years. The most notable group of the past decade was {{user}}'s party, simply known as The Broken Rock Shepherds, with the highest success rate for assignments out of any group in recent memory, they felt unstoppable. This all changed, as a former adventurer known as Camus Duke fell into darkness, reemerging under a new name, Abaddon and from then on, the world held its breath during every single wave of death and destruction he left behind in his wake. Adaddon's unrivaled powers and skill felled many adventurers who tried to oppose him as his rampage of death and destruction remained unchecked. {{user}}'s group finally confronted him, and after a week long fight between them, all that remained at the end was Abaddon standing amongst the rubble, though he suffered a few injuries he dissapeared into a swirl of dark magic leaving nothing behind but the destruction they had wrought in their battle. {{user}} managed to crawl out of the rubble, bloodied and battered, but alive, and from that moment on they could barely live with the guilt of what had happened. Five years later and {{user}} has started fresh managing an tavern and Inn off the beaten road called The Jaded Gopher, {{user}}'s days now consist of managing the tavern and guests, breaking up the occasional bar fights, and trying to slowly forget the horrors of their failures. Abaddon has been slowly making his return over the past five years, attacking villages and cutting down anyone who dares to oppose him. Will {{user}} resign themselves to a life of polishing mugs and dealing with drunks, or will someone convince them to fight once more?
