Message: <blockquote data-quote="Imaculata" data-source="post: 8153024" data-attributes="member: 6801286">Pirates of the Emerald Coast is still going strong. Though we lost a player due to him falling down the rabbithole of covid conspiracies, we gained a new player: the partner and soon to be wife of one of our players. She had never played D&D before, but she was a larper, and thus no stranger to roleplaying. She had heard many of his stories about the campaign, and thus could jump straight into the action, despite it being a high level campaign that had been running for years. The rest of the group embraced her character easily, and I found an easy way to bring her into the plot immediately.The players were in the middle of breaking their crew out of jail; an elaborate dungeon crawl. She was but one of the many prisoners, but I teamed her up with an evil druid npc that was relevant to the plot (arrested for attempting to poison the town's water supply), while the druid's peaceful sister was part of the other team. These two different jailbreaks were happening at different locations in the prison, but the two groups quickly met up and merged into one.The evil druid turned out to be a useful ally, as he was able to raise any corpse into a Vine Horror; a walking corpse puppeteered by animated plants. However, he helt some sinister opinions on the town's residents. It was also revealed that another member of this circle of druids, Destrian, had invoked the power of an ancient evil forest spirit; Mepusa of the Twilight Veil, to wreak her vengeance on the town for cutting down their sacred grove. Destrian has up until now escaped capture, and may be less open to peaceful negotiations. Their only other option right now is to seek out the wise elder of the druids, after they escape the prison with their crew first. But they also have the pious leader of the town to deal with, who imprisoned their crew in the first place.The players now have a bunch of ogres and fire giants to deal with, to reach their imprisoned crew...</blockquote>
