This adventure is for Father Eusebius, Boog, Juliana, Beamer & Banion. The action starts in the temple of Hyrag in Orussus. Currently only Eusebius is active. It's probably better if the other players not read this yet. You will be directed to this thread when the time comes.
This adventure does need a judge.
DM Summary:
[sblock] Adventure summary:Beamer and Banion head north to seek refuge from their pursuers by finding Banion’s ‘uncle’ Poto Knezer, who is said to be wealthy and powerful. Eusebius’ aid is requested by Verbotem the Chosen at the Temple of Hyrag in Orussus. Eusebius is asked to find the Paladin Torvin Arkenthrasher, who has disappeared after acting strangely. Eusebius recruits his old friends Juliana and Boog to help him.
One day North of Rivensblight, they stop at a small stockaid to spend the night. This place cators to travelers. The group finds two traveling merchants, and a dwarf trader named Reinert. Over night, the two merchants, operating under the alias of Toler and Rafferty, open the gates, and let in a pack of dire wolves. After a battle, the group kills the wolves, but both ‘merchants’ escape. Afterwards, the group finds a small symbol of Seto in their saddlebags.
The group continues north, and finds themselves attacked on the road near Braeholl. The kills these orcs and decide to investigate a farmhouse nearby that appears to be overrun. They kill many more orcs and meet the enigmatic farmer Aif Jenkins. Aif is found to know Torvin Arkenthrasher. In fact, he believes Torvin to be in an underground complex on this farm. Entering the complex, the heros route more orcs, as well as a group of strange ignan-speaking human warriors wielding scimitar, composite bows, and their bare hands. They also kill a monk leader, Mano, and his colleague, a demonic green-skinned woman, who carries a scythe in a specialized backpack. They are aided, briefly, by an orc who claims to be on Torvin Arkenthrasher’s side. This orc seems to have been killed, but its body is not found. Aif Jenkins likewise, is not seen again.
The group does find Torvin Arkenthrasher, who has been badly tortured, as well as a grey, featureless dead body. Torvin acts strangely, and seems obsessed by a weapon which he can’t find. The group decides to continue to Braholl, as Boog leaves for destination unknown.
Organizations: The curved Blades of Arcton have appeared before, and are detailed under the Seto entry of the LEW pantheon. They are evidently active in the Northern Mountains as well, and seem to be allied with the orcs.
NPCs:
Verbotem the Chosen. High preist of Hyrag in Orussus, this venerable dwarf is one of the most influential followers of the Brightmantle in the land. (cleric, level unknown.)
Reinert (male dwarf Ftr2/Rog2; Chr 6) This grumpy dwarf is a merchant trader, largely employed by the wizard Trimble of the Silverwoods. He buys the wizard equipment and brings it out to his isolated tower.
Torvin Arkenthrasher. Human Paladin. Tall, and hansome, with black hair and blue eyes. Was first a noble warrior who became a Paladin for Hyrag. Very well respected by all who met him, before his disapearence.
