Grogor began travel to Vogler after hearing of his patron's death Ispin greenshield. He left the mountains of Throbardin and traveled to Qualinost to board a boat called The Hull Whole that would take him to Hargoth in Western Solamnia.
While awaiting to board his vessel, he overheard an elf speaking on making the same travel. Grogor decided to strike up conversation with her during the travel. He found out her name is Enna and they quickly become friends over tales of their mutual friend who had recently passed away, Ispin Greenshield.
Upon docking in Horgoth, Grogor and Enna found passage to Vogler via a carriage. As luck would have it, a human was in the process of securing the same travel. Ar'son, was an acquaintance of Ispin's as well and he was also heading for the funeral.
Enroute to Vogler, their carriage had an accident, and they proceeded the short distance into town on foot.
Shortly into their walk, they where approached by a you lad that was frantic. He ensamble had recently been attacked by black cloaked figures, and he manage to escape without being seen.
Ar'son suggested the lad go back the way they had just come and speak with the carriage driver to have safe passage home. With the lad safe, Ar'son, Enna, and Grogor begin to investigate what the lad was speaking about.
As the cadre round the corner, they are unable to be stealthy and give their postion away early. The clocked figures see them, and abandon searching through the wagon they had previously been interested in.
One of the cloked figure moves close to the party, and is shot with an arror by Enna. This makes the cloak fall away, and the party realizes this is a creature unlike anything they have ever seen or even heard about before.
During the ensuing battle Grogor is struck down and is now fighting for his life via simple breaths.

He also finds something that is not his, an amulet of the god Mishakal. This amulet helps lead him to a shrine of sorts that is crumbling away from time and neglict.
Inside the shrine, he finds a statue that begins to glow and form in front of his eyes. The statute begins to speak to him, and he understands this is Mishakal herself. She has tasked him with helping to rid the world of an upcoming evil that will plauge the land. She also provides him with a magical staff to aid his quest. This staff provides umongst other abilites that right to csat divine magic. A true cleric has been born!
Mishakal, informs Jurgen that he will need help in his task and she will send him to those that are best sittuated to help. He first must provide them aid, as they are in a dangerous situation that could mean all their deaths.
Jurgen is transported to the fight that Gorgor, Ar'son, and Enna are currently engaged in. Jurgen unsure about his new abilities attempts to heal Grogor, but finds he is too far away.
Eventually Ar'son befalls the same fate as did Grogor, they are both grasping to life with but their breath! Enna manages to hit the reptialian figure with another arrow and Jurgen strikes a deathblow with his new staff from Mishakal. Once the create dies it explodes into a pit of acid, which Jurgen luckily manages to avoid.
