    there were consequences to this attack upon the Fire Giant Citadel [“Ambush at Hoch-Och”].
    Another Phaulkonian hero, Buck, had pursued other activities following the Fane of the Winds quest [“Alegra’s Final Summary: The Fane of the Winds”]. These are summarized in an appropriately-titled summary, “Adventures of Buck: Tales of Disaster. “ In the final adventure, he was captured by the Ghoul King, a lich, in a city sewer system, and spent five years in servitude to the Ghoul King, killing good adventurers.
