[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 6011617, member: 79141"] [b]Preamble to buffer adventure[/b] As always, between Zeitgeist campaign modules, I run a buffer adventure. This one draws on unit leader Baldrey Korrigan's background story (again, inspired by accounts on these boards) and his troubled relationship with his beautiful wife Elizabeth. She is heavily pregnant with their first child, and has begun to act very strangely. Unbeknownst to Korrigan, while he was serving in Yersol IV, Elizabeth made a pact with a powerful fey entity. In return for Korrigan's safe return from the war, it would claim the couple's first child. Elizabeth and Baldrey had tried for years to conceive to no avail, and so Elizabeth set little store in this desperate bargain. Seven years after Korrigan's safe return (albeit physically altered by his brush with a schism on Axis Island) - the couple duly conceived. Baldrey was taken aback by Elizabeth's response, and her mental health has gradually deteriorated. She has baked salt into the bricks of their house, installed wrought iron windows and doors, even purchased a wrought iron cot! But at no point has she confided in her husband, for fear that knowledge of the truth would divert him from his duties. Shortly after the events of [I]Digging for Lies[/I], Elizabeth's due date arrives... This adventure also brings another backstory element into play. Those of you who have followed this campaign journal from the beginning may remember a location I added to the [I]Island at the Axis of the World [/I]adventure: the hideout of Lavanya, an eladrin woman who had rescued Leon Veilleaux from his injuries during the Yerasol war. Here the unit found a huge golem that Lavanya was creating and to my surprise, made the effort to transport it through the jungle to a Risuri ship. Typically, they then forgot all about it - although Uru kept its defunct wood and metal 'heart' around his neck like an amulet, constantly tinkering with it and trying to get it beating. When party member Karl Krauss died during the battle with the Thing from Beyond, a wave of powerful magical energy was released. (He was an artificer, but unique in that he powered items from his own energy - an energy he derived from the manner in which the Deep Ones had altered his body.) This burst of energy 'kickstarted' the golem heart, and reignited the unit's interest in the golem into the bargain... [/QUOTE]
