Message: <blockquote data-quote="THEMNGMNT" data-source="post: 9199211" data-attributes="member: 6809274">Sessions 54 and 55 of my Neverwinter campaign. 10th level drow evoker wizard, human genie warlock, half orc vengeance paladin. After 25 sessions in Neverwinter, the characters have moved on to Mir Vardun, a town created by the paladin's player to be his birth place. I'm placing it as Helm's Hold in the Neverwinter regional map. A league of evil nobles have taken over the towns surrounding Neverwinter. All of them have gathered here, in Mir Vardun, to cement a secret alliance with an orc horde. Their plan is to unleash the orcs on the region, using the resulting chaos to overthrow the Queen of Neverwinter and seize power for themselves. The players know this and have come to town to break up the negotiations.What they don't know is that in two days, there's a lunar conjunction when the townsfolk will be sacrificed to power up a new orc champion that will lead the horde. The characters arrived in town in the dead of night. Their plan was to sneak into the castle and get stabby with the evil nobles. However, they quickly crossed paths with a group of outriders hunting down a lone man. The loner was the town ranger, who taught the paladin how to hunt and track as a youth. The characters easily dispatched the outriders and saved the ranger. Unfortunately, the wizard dropped a fireball, alerting the whole town to their presence.They found a hiding spot. The ranger gave them a full exposition dump on where the orcs could be found, the personalities of the assorted evil nobles, plus a sinister mage using the townsfolk as lab rats. They decided to first deal with the mage.The mage had converted the town windmill into her laboratory. The characters quickly found a way in, battled a leprous hill giant, and discovered the living test subjects were covered in a sort of magical leprousy.Meanwhile, the nobles' thugs are going house to house, looking for the intruders who had incinerated their colleagues.Next session: Leper Messiah!</blockquote>
