The adventuring groups in Jersey's campaign world, as of Readying, 594, are
The Little Dragons of Chatwin
The Little Dragons, aka, The Fortunate Five, now down to two, met in Plainview where they stumbled upon and disrupted the beginnings of an evil religious cult. The
mages in the group were looking for teachers, so the ranger
suggested the village of Chatwin, his home at the time. Once in Chatwin the Little Dragons investigated an explosion at one
of the town's mage's houses. Later they recovered some relics
from a long forgotten tomb of evil. They also drove off some
hobgoblins who were menacing the forests to the north.
They traveled to the coastal village of Saltmarsh
where they were supposed to get some enchanted fruit. While
waiting for the proper phase of the moon in which to harvest
the fruit, they investigated a `haunted house' where they
stumbled upon a smuggling operation and dealt it a disruptive
blow.
The Lucky Little Dragons' nickname comes from the fortunate way they seem to come upon adventure and from the mascot they acquired during the smugglers' adventure.
During this adventure, they also gained the smugglers' ship which they have renamed the Sea Host. They rent the ship out to the merchants of Saltmarsh until they need it themselves. After this adventure, Dax retired to the outskirts of Chatwin. Some say he found a woman and settled down. Penrose opened a locksmith shop in the village [#40]
In late 582, and into 583, Sigil, Galin, and Cymburr, with some others, traveled to the far south to a place called Fort Thunder. Only Sigil and Galin returned!

The Chatwin Heroes met in the village of Plainview where they
helped rescue a local girl from the clutches of evil and exposed
the Mayor's son for the treacherous young man he was. They traveled
to Narwell and eventually to Dyvers, enticed by offers of great
rewards. Rumors of adventure and wealth took them through unexplained
Mists, underground caverns, and once left them stranded on a rock
island where they became pawns in a game between two evil spell
casters. Eventually they came to the Village of Chatwin, a once
proud little berg whose economy had gone downhill ever since its
treasure disappeared some decades ago. They eventually recovered
this missing treasure, though they had to go the corpse of and
old red dragon to do it! In honor of their accomplishment, they
where given commemorative medallions and took the name of The
Chatwin Heroes.
Since that time, though they have made Chatwin their homebase,
they have continued to adventure. They were almost devoured by
a tree, drawn up to a floating castle, and for their last adventure,
accompanied the brilliant spell caster, Miss Nottingham, into
some lost caverns where they defeated some of the most amazing
monsters ever dreamed up in anyone's imagination.
In Flocktime, 582, the four known as Gideon, Hadrian, Maxmillian and Quintos, traveled to Greyhawk City in search of great adventure! There they uncovered and thwarted the attempted take over of the city by a dangerous cult. To view the Free City and read Artemus' account of their adventures there click here.
The still active Chatwin Heroes are:
- Gideon Trueflight, a halfling fighter thief, who always
wanted to be a ranger. Gideon has never picked a pocket, but he
does have a weakness when items of special enchantment come along.
He has a Onxy Dog `Rufus', a Serpentine
Owl `Oliver, and two Golden Spotted Lions named `Laine'. Gideon has a room in Hadrian's Tower. As well, he is the owner of the Silver Cloud Tavern in the village.
- Hadrian Mindbendurr, a gnome illusionist, the master of
the phantasmal force. He has convinced people that they have been
struck by lightning, even when there was not a cloud in the sky.

of the order of Ley. He is the owner of the great long sword Justice. He is in the process of building a great keep north of the village. Played by Hakan Kilic.

which responds to his call. Ignatius became obsessed with the
ancient Lion Knights, a mythical man beast combination. Perhaps
someday he'll find the answer to his quest. Played by Vince Wong.

Company of the Cloak and Stone
The Cloak and Stone is a group which I play in the Forgotten Realms(TM) setting
The formation of the Adventuring Order of the Cloak and Stone resulted from the chance meeting of Fletcher, Wynonna and Bamfylde on a little used road somewhat east of Maskyr's Eye. As they reached the village, with light snow descending upon them and the temperature dropping, they pooled their resources and purchased three coarse green cloaks to fight off the chill. Days later, once they had exposed the truth in a decade's old mystery which had been plaguing the town, this with the help of Malachyte, each took a black stone gem as his reward. The Cloak and the Stone, then, became their symbols.
As a favor to Mayor Lanz, they helped his friends Ezban the Mage and Moritz his fighter companion from some Orcs. Their reputation in this region was secured. Since then their travels, in the cause of good, have taken them as far north as Mulmaster and as far south as Raven's Bluff. Wynonna has studied with Thurlock the Anagogue and cooked for Ambassador Carrague, and Fletcher and Bamfylde have served on the Night Watch of Raven's Bluff. While helping to guide a caravan south, they made the acquaintance of Indigo, who took a liking to their style and has since become a member of the company. He later introduced his sidekick, Tregar, to the ensemble.
While still in Raven's Bluff, at the Shod Talon Inn, they are planning a major trip to the ruins of Myth Drannor. They have also come into possession of what appears to be a lost artifact of great power. They are also seeking guidance as to what to do with it.
For recent service, the Cloak & Stone has been awarded the Feather of Honor from the Knights of the Hawk.
