Once upon a time in a world filled with magic and adventure, four friends set out on a journey together. They were known as the bravest and most skilled adventurers in all the land, each with their own unique talents and abilities. There was Lothar, the proud and noble paladin, Thalia, the cunning rogue, Aric, the wise wizard, and Eldrid, the fierce druid.
Their journey took them to the outskirts of the kingdom, where they heard rumors of a powerful magical item that could grant its wielder immense power. Determined to find this item, the four friends set out on a quest to uncover its location.
Their journey was long and arduous, filled with danger and obstacles at every turn. But the friends persevered, relying on each other and their skills to overcome any challenges they faced.
Finally, they reached their destination, a remote cave deep in the mountains. There, they discovered the magical item, a powerful crystal that glimmered with a strange and mysterious light. Lothar reached out to touch the crystal, but as soon as he did, strange energies coursed through his body, and he was consumed by a bright, blinding light.
The light faded, and when it cleared, the friends found themselves in a strange and unfamiliar place. They were no longer together, but separated and scattered throughout a strange and mysterious world.
Lothar awoke in a dark and twisted forest, where he encountered a band of vicious orcs. Thalia found herself in a crowded market, where she was quickly surrounded by thieves and pickpockets. Aric awoke in a high tower, surrounded by arcane energies and strange, magical creatures. And Eldrid found himself in the heart of a raging storm, where he was attacked by ferocious beasts of the wild.
Despite the challenges they faced, the friends refused to give up. They each fought their way through the dangers of their separate worlds, using their skills and determination to overcome every obstacle in their path.
As they traveled through their separate realms, the friends soon discovered that the crystal had torn them apart, not only physically but also emotionally. They each became consumed by their own thoughts and desires, and their once unbreakable bond began to fray.
Lothar, consumed by his need for justice, began to see enemies everywhere he looked. Thalia, driven by her thirst for wealth and power, became cruel and manipulative. Aric, lost in his love of magic, became aloof and distant. And Eldrid, consumed by his connection to nature, became wild and untamed.
Despite the dangers they faced and the challenges they overcame, the friends continued to drift further apart, until they were no longer the close-knit group they once were. They were consumed by their own thoughts and desires, and the bond that once held them together was broken.
And from that day on, the friends roamed the land apart, their friendship bond broken and their hearts filled with hatred and evil. They were known throughout the land as despicable adventurers, and their names were whispered in fear wherever they went. For they were the villains of the table, and their cruel ways would be remembered for centuries.
