We started with Loudwater, and I quickly expanded and adapted the adventure to launch the beginning of en epic, and they are reaching the end of heroic tier.The party is a group of high-ranking Cormyrian soldiers, including Ornrion Sirron Vel (Earthsoul Genasi Warlord), Leuitenant Swordcaptain Nymeria Norathem (Eladrin Swordmage), and Chaplain Swordcaptain Morgrim Ironhide (Dwarf Paladin of Kelemvor), Ornrion and Swordcaptain being actual ranks in the purple dragons. They've been spending the campaig struggling against Thayans, the Order of the Blue Fire, Najarans, Netherese, and various other forces.SO. The players this last session had to take a trip to the Greypeaks in order to investigate a dwarven ruin named Sarrak'Var, an underground plagueland that was a huge dwarf city before the spellplague burned away all of it's inhabitants. They use a passwall ritual to get through a caved-in passave, but when they enter the ruin, they find a teeming dwarven citidel with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants. Also, the eladrin cannot feystep or use her magic.They then realize that using the passwall in such an area of teeming wild magic has sent them back to the dwarf citadel before it was eradicated. Since what they were looking for is a concentrated area of plaguefire in order to cast a ritual, they have no way of performing the task they needed to, and with the weave intact and no one trained in it's ways, they had no way of getting home.They then thought... "Hey, I wonder if it's possible that we can try and stop the spellplague." (hopeless endeavor) They spent time theorizing whether or not they could get the paladin to warn Kelemvor, but unfortunately Kelemvor of this time didn't know of the paladin. Then the warlord put things to a sudden halt..."Guys, if we stop the spellplague, the weave remains intact, we never go back... we'll be stuck in Edition 3.5 forever!!!!!"This put an immediate and terrified halt to the proceedings. Needless to say, they were returned by the passwall to the day of the spellplague itself. They fought through the city while everything went to madness, they found the tunnels at the source of the twisted invasion, had an awesome fight against a sharn, and cast their ritual, putting them back in the present.TLDR: And the campaign goes on. Ultimately, my players spent an hour or so after the game talking about how funny and horrible it would be if they actually had to recreate their characters in 3.5. When they get outside of the ruin, they'll find that they've been gone a whole week.Should be fun!</blockquote>
