Scenarios


A12- Pawns in the Great Plan: Anomog's directive: up the river to consult with an elder Slann to get a map to the lost city, but we'll need the broke sword that the New Bechafen emperor has to drive off the invading evil that occupies the city. But to get the sword, we need to complete a task that complicates the task the Siren requested in trade for Ranulf's soul. Simple, right?

A11-Return to Port Reaver: Get in, get it, get out...before the fire-bombing. Simple, right?

A10-All the World’s a Stage: Why are all the priests being killed?

A9-Who was That Wraith?!: Why does it feel like we're not done with Zarmuda island? We're the first to return with treasure, but who was that wraith, who/what was that large skeletal lizardman king, and if those Port Reaver shipwreck survivors (now dead) were diseased with the mold, did we expose ourselves to the mold when we took their dinghies?!

A8-Cursed Island: Gold-fever can make you do stupid things. Like sailing to the mysterious island Zarmuda where rumors tell of no-one ever returning!

A7-Tomb of Gold: The thought of free gold to afford ship improvements (and to line our pockets) begged us onward into the jungle where we came across Lizardmen laying siege to one of their own temples.

A6-Shut It or I’ll Break your Hip! onward to the Fallen Gates (and the confluence of magical winds), they encounter Orcs who render Rufus lame. At the gates, they meet a suspicious witch-hunter who describes the mossy-flesh disease as the work of Nurgle demons in league with Skaven.

A5 – Damn Annoying Elf: onward to the Stellar Pyramids. Lemmy desires the wizard's spellbook but at what cost? Can the elf Urial be more disparaging of humans?!

A4 – For Hire: Hired out to escort an elf in search of his stolen armor takes us to mysterious places.

A3 – Demons? Kill them all!: I don't think the rescue plan included dealing with demons. At least they got away to Swamptown. 

A2 – Port Reaver: Kruger already didn't like the Stormfels Cult. And to learn they held another Priest of Manaan in their temple...

A1 – Bound for the New World: They set sail from the old-world port in Marienburg for the Isthmus of Lustria. A good starting point to get their bearings and taste of the closing jungles.

A11-Return to Port Reaver

[Tony/Kruger & Geoff/Rufus absent] Your Mission, Should you Accept : Another month on Skeggi when an Empire fleet of 3 galleons and 5 corsairs tied up at the docks. A handful of wizards disembarked: did they not read Ottokar’s flier blaming wizards for all the priests’ deaths?! Dargo sought work as a huffer/stevedore unloading the ships… which gave him opportunity to steal a flag to add to our own boat inventory. Lemmy joined the crew at the bar, buying a round of drinks to loosen their tongues. Turned out they were looking for him anyway, “ Balthazar Gelt wants to hire you .” Lemmy boarded the flag ship to stay away from eavesdroppers as Balthazar's representative confided in secrecy, “ The Empire is tired of the pirates and wants to destroy Port Reaver. But Balthazar needs you to slip into the pirate base first to retrieve an artifact. Years ago, they captured a ship out of Nippon that was carrying a gold-plated skull . We need you and your team to find it before we bomb...

A7-Tomb of Gold

A7-Tomb of Gold or Rufus' Beating...Again It took a month for Rufus’ hip injury to heal. Time to listen to gossip about the area around the Tomb-Of-Gold : most prior groups returned beat up with reports of more Orc or Lizardmen. We provisioned and prepared for the 5-day sail to the same bay to the north and westward inland trek. Per the dry/hot/humid season, we used mud for insect repellent and to stay cool. We didn’t account for “Wanderlust fever”: despite Rufus’ protest “stick to the path”, we strayed per thoughts of avoiding Orc and other threats. Our wandering added 2 days to the trek as we struggled to navigate and forage. Noon on the 7 th day we heard Lizardmen coordinating battle plans for a siege. Lemmy climbed a tree to spot the ziggurat of concern. He saw Saurus lizardmen building defensive walls out of brush. A distant blast alerted Tulkir who noticed long-barreled guns (held by paws) aimed from the temple heights. A siege meant no rush on their part as 30+ lizardme...

A8-Cursed Island

The Moons Festival : There are two nights in the year in which both moons are full at the same time. The first is called  Hexensnacht  ("Witching Night") and the other one  Geheimnisnacht  ("Night of Mystery"). To most, these are greatly feared and ill-omened nights of the year, and even the most cynical skeptic will avoid the eerie light cast by the full moons. On the other hand, gatherings and ritual sacrifices are held by the worshipers of Chaos on these nights. While the others had sense to stay inside and participated in drinking challenges (Rufus even bested the dwarves and elves earning a well-deserved pounding hangover and 10gp reward), Tulkir & Ranulf chanced the night outdoors. Both swore in the morning they had seen some ‘Blessed by the Moon’ beastmen wandering the streets! At least all had days to recoup (Endeavors). With Kruger providing a list, Ranulf bartered for ship upgrades. Lemmy purchased a compass to he...
