First Post
Salutations fellow D&D’ers. It is I, ellestar. I am here because I need your help. (As always)
I have been on vacation for a week with me lady and therefore haven’t had time to finish the adventure they are currently playing. (They have played one session)
As you can gather from the information given above I am currently in the progress of making an adventure for an ongoing campaign I have, where the players will go up agains Orcus himself, in a great battle on the Plain of Null. However, that is about 18 levels from now, my players now play about 3rd-4th level characters.
First, the party:
Furin of Thunderdelve - male dwarf Fig4 (LG)
Neonashakla - female human Wiz3 (N)
Holian - male elf Rog3 (CG)
Mingo Muddysocks - male halfling Rog3 (CN)
Kentarr - male human Fig3 (NG)
Panzerfaust - male human Clr3 of Wee Jas (LN)
The party’s earlier exploits:
A small village named Ailspur a days ride south of greyhawk needed help from adventurers, a group of goblins and hobgoblins have been waylaying kidnapping travelling merchants heading from Hardby to Ailspur, cutting off the food supply in Ailspur.
The party was hired by a ranger sent out by Ailspur to Greyhawk to find decent adventurers. They discovered the goblins and hobgoblins used tactics far more advanced then normal, and eventually discovered their base of operations. An old abandoned dwarven stronghold in the mountains to the east, long since abandoned. It was infested with goblins and hobgoblins, but they also discovered their bosses, who were all human. Hack, slash, rinse, repeat, mission complete.
Now, some time after, the party was approached by Derider Falshean, Sental Durev’s (one of greyhawks oligarchs, in charge of internal security, eg. the grand citadel (the prison, and garrison)) right hand man. They were told about recent suspicions of prisoners somehow being smuggled out of prison again, as a series of burglaries has been made, and the methods match those of the previously imprisoned master thief "Shade" (original name, huh?). Indeed, the oligarchs suspicions were correct, a new thieves guild calling themselves the Shadaloo have discovered some tunnels leading from the Greyhawk undercity (accessed through secret passages in the sewers) to under the citadel. The Shadaloo have managed to infiltrate the prison, and now, almost every prison guard are more or less corrupt. The party was sent in, because of their relatively non-existant reputation in Greyhawk to infiltrate the prison and find out who is smuggling out the prisoners.
To get arrested (needed to be done properly, with none of the guards knowing it was faux) the party attempted to burglar a temple of St.Cuthbert and were caught in the act and imprisoned.
In the grand citadel they met some people working for the Shadaloo, and got them to smuggle them into the undercity, where they will be doing some small tasks for the Shadaloo as a return favour.
Derider Falshean warned the party about going straight in through the "main entrance" to the undercity however, as the organizers most probably had some ways of detecting their intentions in the undercity. The party found some old tunnels leading into the old mines which Greyhawk originally was built around, and killed the Shadaloo agents who were supposed to follow them to the undercity. Entered the old mines, hacked, slashed, killed some strange undead imbued with psionic powers. (The Psionic template is cool) They are now on their way out of the mines and into the undercity. Here’s where I don’t have any more.
Now what? Their mission is to find out more about the Shadaloo, maybe shut them down. Does any of you have some brilliant ideas on how that could be done? Sneaking into the guild to find vital papers? Assassinating high ranking guildmembers?
I need more too, about the undercity. I need to flesh that out alot. What is there to do there? Black Market? Slave trade? Gladiator Arena?
Some stuff I want to include in the adventure:
Their first run in with the cult of orcus. Maybe they are buying lots of slaves for use in experiments?
One of the slavers from their first adventure escaped using a teleport scroll, maybe they’ll meet her again? (can also be used with Cult of Orcus buying lots of slaves)
The game is friday night, so I need the help pretty fast.
