A Deathly Grandfather

After the utter humiliation of the Storm Clan so far, a new family member who went out on a conquering crusade not too long after the near-destruction of Questra in 2016 has returned: Storm King's maternal grandfather The Death King, who has the ability to kill instantly with his own staff, the Staff of Hades, which allows him to rob the lives of his forces to grant him their abilities, as he was among the most feared of the Clan, even to it's own members. Thus, he does the unthinkable: He kills many of the Lodgers and takes their powers, but ends up leaking that they can be saved if the Staff of Hades is destroyed. But unfortunately, if the Storm Clan taught the heroes anything, it's that it won't be easy to retrieve a Clan member's staff.
