Glarn the Bold

Background:

From some reason he was in a gnome city. There he met and joined their party. That had recently escaped a collapsing dungeon up above on the surface.

The gnome greeted them kindly and told them the only way they could leave was to used a magic item called a Astrolab. The gnomes claimed they would send them home if they did a quest for their friend a Rakasta. He wanted them to save a Rakasta princess in their home realm named Thunder Rift. The party agreed and used the Astrolab to send the party to Thunder Rift somewhere in the outer planes.

They investigated an Japanese style palace, and fought a great many shadowy cat like monsters called Ebon Tigers, whose bite causes blindness.

During the final battle, Royu went blind and his alignment was changed during a wild surge. He killed himself and Glarn the Bold, Gordo and Gnomar continued to rescue the princess and went home.
