Much time has passed since peasants, dwarf, and troll had been united.
One day the troll was roaming Blackwell Forest (little known fact that Blackwell Forest
does indeed serve as a reservoir for Blackwater Park) with a fair maiden of no
importance whatsoever and the rarely seen individual known as Petrus the Tormenter of
Cats. Given that both Petrus and troll lack anything that resembles intelligence, they
ended up being lost in a vast field of asphalt. This was actually the legendary Parking Lot
of Eternal Imprisonment, which is actually an anomaly in the space-time continuum. It
serves as a final destination for cars that somehow travel through vortexes and end up in
the parking lot, as no roads actually connect with it.
The three travelers wandered aimlessly for what seemed like days when a golem made of
the blackest asphalt rose before them. The golem proclaimed himself to be Asmodeus,
and the only way the lost people could ever find their way back to the forest would be if
they made a sacrifice.
Before he could give any form of protest, Petrus was thrust over to Asmodeus, who
proceeded in demolishing the Cat Tormenter's body.
Creidhne happened to be observing this event, and could do little more than shake his
head in disgust. Creidhne disguised himself as a peasant, and paid Coy a visit.
"Coy! What is this insolence?" he bellowed from inside his peasant's cowl. "You shall all
pay for this vilesome deed!"
Creidhne felt that because the troll seemed a bit too eager in handing over Petrus, the
band as a whole should suffer a fate worse than death: the one who smote Petrus from
the Earth would now be the front-man.
Using his guise as a peasant, Creidhne tricked Coy into bringing Asmodeus into the band.
