When the undead army showed up, FOE took on the enemies coming from the back of the town while the mayor led the front defense. Hector, who was helping defend the village, told Regnar how they originally met Regnar's forgotten backstory included working for Malar in the past, killing dwarves, but Regnar had refused to kill Hector and was punished with memory loss. Thok sent as many villagers as possible to head toward the Semuanya temple for shelter while the rest of the town prepared the defense. When the group returned to the human village, they found out an army of undead had been spotted heading that way.

Stool said they would collect frogfolk and lizardfolk from the swamp to come keep the temple secure. They clensed the temple and did a ritual that turned Thok's cursed demon armor into 'Champion of Semuanya' treebark armor. Inside, they killed: 3 purple bearded devils, 1 barbed devil, and 7 imps they rescued a human, an elf, and a lizardfolk. On the way, they killed 2 will-o-wisps and 4 spined devils. Thok, Regnar, Var, Son, and the 3 kobolds brought Stool Deevi along in their wagon to go clear out the monsters in the Semuanya temple. The group then returned to the human town, where they found out the sage had run off with the evil books and they paid 100 gp to buy his abandoned 2-story home. They encountered 4 elves who took them to a nearby elf village there, they befriended the high cleric of Corellon and paid magic-smiths to turn the black dragon's hide into acid-resistant cloaks with 'FOE: Federation of Explorers: Out to Kill the Forces of Evil' imprinted on them. The group allowed the 3 surviving kobolds to become paid servants working for FOE. The group killed the enemies, hired a wagon driver, killed 3 slavers (rescuing a captured gnome), and proceeded to slay the black dragon the dragon's soul was captured into the oath bow, getting rid of the curse and altering the magic item into an acid bow. Thok, Regnar, Var, and Son were about to leave to go find the dragon's lair when a half-dragon and 4 kobolds showed up to collect the dragon's 'tax' from the village. They donated everything back to the village, except for 1 wagon with horses that they kept for adventuring. The group went and cleared out the bandit keep led by the mayor's evil brother FOE killed 5 gnolls (2 regular, 2 lords, and 1 'Fang of Yeenoghu'), 1 orc berserker, 1 human scout, 10 bandits, and the bandit leader). Luckily, Son of the Sun (the half-elf monk) showed up and offered to join the group with their questing because he was hunting a necromancer that had destroyed his shop. Hector told Thok, Regnar, and Var he wouldn't adventure with them anymore because of Regnar's evil Malar mark. One the way back to the village, the flameskull reformed and they had to keep destroying it until they got some holy water to finish it off.

They destroyed: 9 zombies, 3 skeletons, 1 skeletal minotaur, 1 wight, and a flameskull. Thok, Regnar, Var, and Hector decided to take out the dangers in the graveyard before going on the dragon slaying quest. When the group returned to the human village, they met with Talindra who explained that Regnar had been marked by Malar and they needed to kill a black dragon (who was the son of a dragon that had brought Tiamat back into the world in the past). They found the cave where he was held prisoner, killed the slavers (4 regular lizardfolk, 2 enhanced lizardfolk, 1 human bandit, and 1 human captain) they saved Brandol and 2 human adults. They found out about a missing 12 year-old boy named Brandol and agreed to go find and rescue him. Thok, Regnar, Var, and Hector decided to call their group the Federation of Explorers.
