This is the start of a new project for me. This is based off of an old D&D advneture called the Red Hand of Doom. Since I never actually got to run the adventure I thought I would turn it into a story. In this part Samm, a German Shepard Dog, is introduced as the main character. Samm was two traveling companions Harbek, a bear, and Alexia, a fox. So enjoy.

Samm stopped and examined the woods to either side of the road. The sun had only been up for a few hours, but the midmorning haze was still heavy under the thick canopy of the woods lining the road. He thought he smelt something. His companions took the opportunity to rest their feet. “Mistress Alexia,” said Harbek, “if you need me to carry your stuff please do not hesitate to ask.” Samm was larger then most canines, and years of training made his frame bulky, but Harbek stood head and shoulders over him. The large bear wore a simple robe of white, marking him as a priest of the Creator, and a carried an almost humorously small pack on his back and a long-hafted halberd, which he used as a walking staff. Alexia was a slender fox with fur as white as snow. She tried her best to hide her discomfort from Samm, and it obviously annoyed her that he seemed to still notice. “Overexerting yourself this early in the day will only slow us down in the long run.” Samm explained. Alexia took it, and scowled at the Samm’s back.
