[QUOTE="Sulicius, post: 9056069, member: 6896569"] Last night we played the 50th session of the Theros campaign. So far the challenges have not been bound to dungeons, but they finally entered a real dungeon! A big one this time. Filled with listless undead, creatures from the Underworld and locked away plagues. The session started off with the champions of the gods arriving in Asphodel, a necropolis inhabited by the Returned. In Theros, one can escape from death by a legendary path, but it tears away your memories and personality. That is what the Returned are: gold-masked undead. Pretty quickly, the party realized these guys were not all insane or evil. Instead, they asked the heroes to help them. Both them and the heroes do not have a good relationship with the god of death. Because of that, they steered the group into a crypt where they would find their next McGuffin. Inside the crypt, they came upon an Archon, a knight of law from a tyrannical age, and they had a tough fight with it. He almost turned a pc to dust. Now I need to flesh out the dungeon fully before next Wednesday! 68/90 rooms done! A bit more about this campaign: it is a murder mystery where the pc’s are uncovering a big plot from a conspiracy of gods who killed the god of love. I found love significantly absent from the setting, so I homebrew that into the plot! They are collecting pieces of this god of love in the hopes to revive her, and with that bring together the people and gods of Theros before the return of the Titans. It is my best campaign so far, and the players love engaging with the lore. I am so very happy about it. [/QUOTE]
