The Seeds of Our Destruction - Introduction
Happy New Year! Welcome to the new series of 2005 updates in our Arcanis campaign.
This is the third Hard Point of the tournament module, "The Seeds of Our Destruction," written by Henry Lopez and set in the Arcanis setting. You can read more about Arcanis at http://www.onaraonline.org. Our cast of characters includes:
· Quintus Aurelius Ignatius (human Clr3), played by Mike Tresca (that's me): http://michael.tresca.net
· Kham Val'Abebi (val Rog1/PsiW2), played by Jeremy Ortiz: http://www.dreamsculptor.com/index1.html
· Ilmarė Galen (elf Brd3), played by Amber Tresca (my wife)
· Sebastian Arnyal (dark-kin Sor2), played by George Webster.
· Beldin (dwarf Ftr2), played by Joe Lalumia.
· Vlad Martell (human Ftr2), played by Matt Hammer.
Our DM is Robert Taylor, a gaming legend in his own time: http://www.storyboardz.net.
This is one of those scenarios where the majority of our characters were uncomfortable and out of place. Traveling to Sweet Savona is like going to Mardis Gras, and if you're not there to party it's a little weird. Being a female makes it even more awkward (Amber was not thrilled about most of the adventure).
That said, this scenario is very dark and moody. It's a real murder mystery that unfortunately doesn't quite let you solve the murder (that's for the next scenario, ya see). I liken it to a 70's cop show, complete with cheesy "wakichika, wakichika" soundtrack in the background. When Quintus runs off down the street to chase the bad guy, you can just hear the music thrumming in the background.
Ironically, Ilmarė had a lot to do with the plot, because she's an Elorii. Similarly, Kham has a fun time in Savona (nobody's surprised, right?). And really, this is Sebastian's show…he gets the opportunity to be the kind, caring, creepy guy to lots of women while Quintus gets squeezed to a pulp.
This adventure allowed us lots of role-playing opportunities and emphasized just how awkward Quintus is when he's out of his element. I mean, for most of it he runs around without a spear OR a shield. The horror!
