Tyre was having a bad day.
First he got snubbed at the guild, his request to be promoted was denied due to the flimsy reason of 'lacking proper achievements in the field.' So he naturally stormed off with his party to prove the pencil pushers wrong.
He had heard rumours of some elementals causing a ruckus in the West valley entrance. So he and his party had ventured out to go and investigate and hopefully put down the troublesome monsters.
Surely if he could deal with a threat such as that the guild would be forced to promote him right!?
Well either way, they had rushed forth to go an see what they could do. Clad in his truly platemail and wielding his father's war hammer Tyre felt invincible.
They had arrived at the valley in good time. Only just past mid day, so they had plenty of time left to scout out the area and locate the elementals.
