My current group is now at level 5.

Darren the human warlock had her family brutally murdered by bandits as a young girl. After dedicating her life to revenge and succeeding, she wandered aimlessly until she was hired by a municipally-understaffed town to investigate a spate of tomb robbings.

Graveyard Spirit, an undead abomination, was a byproduct of a forbidden necromantic experiment at a wizards' university. After many years of hiding in dark corners of the university library, he hitched a stealthy ride in Darren's backpack as she passed through town and eventually became embroiled in the same tomb robber drama. Infuriated by the tomb robbers' use of undead, which he deemed slavery, he subjected two of them to amputation of all four limbs, before being ultimately destroyed in single combat by a mind flayer.

Haych was a halfling cleric living in the town suffering from desecration of their local necropolis. Drafted into the same impromptu team as Darren and Graveyard Spirit, he served as party healer, growing increasingly uncomfortable with Graveyard Spirit's idea of justice, in stark contrast with Darren, who gleefully assisted in the mutilation. He eventually died at the hands of the fourth party member.

Necromancer, (obvious alias) a human cleric, was herself a tomb robber beaten to the adventure site by her rivals. Arriving shortly after Graveyard Spirit's destruction, she decided that the unique undead would be a good servant. Summoning an efreeti, she bargained with it to revive Graveyard Spirit, after which she promptly enslaved him and bound him to silence. Subsequently, she killed the mind flayer that had killed Graveyard Spirit, under pretense of alliance and animated its corpse, after which she used her new minions to kill the efreeti so that she would not have to make good on their bargain. Then she animated the corpse of the efreeti. Haych, witnessing all this vileness, immediately tried to slay her. Instead, she killed him with a single spell.

The party of warlock, cleric, and three undead minions is now pursuing the tomb robbers into the Underdark, but the original goal of returning stolen relics to the townsfolk is long forgotten.
