[QUOTE="THEMNGMNT, post: 9335169, member: 6809274"] Session 59 and 60 of my Neverwinter/Sword Coast campaign. Drow evoker wizard, human genie warlock, half orc vengeance paladin. They started at 10th level and ended at 11th. The characters are infiltrating a sunken castle in a swamp occupied by a warband of orcs. The orcs are allied with sinister nobles. The characters are trying to unravel and thwart their schemes. The characters discovered that inside the castle was one of the nobles. They killed her bodyguard, captured her, and fled the castle before the orcs could swarm them. Now aboard their airship, the interrogation commenced. She freely spilled the beans. Our heroes number only three. How could they possibly thwart this vast conspiracy. In short, the players learned that at tonight's lunar eclipse (the Bloodmoon Conjunction) the orcs will descend on the nearby village (which is the home of the paladin), slaughter the townsfolk, and channel their lifeforce into a necromantic ritual that will power up an orc champion at a distant ruin. The orcs will then help the nobles advance their schemes to conquer Neverwinter. The players discussed how to thwart the ritual, came up with a plan, and...we stopped there. Next session: Bloodmoon Conjunction! [/QUOTE]
