[QUOTE="Magister Ludorum, post: 7995738, member: 6862253"] My longest chronicle for the 3.5 era took place in the Forgotten Realms (beginning in Sembia). The chronicle ran from level 1 through 17 and lasted for five game years. The overall storyline involved an attempt to awaken the lost Jhaamdathan god Auppensor by retrieving psionic orbs he had constructed for his followers during the height of Jhaamdath. Destroying them with the correct ritual would cause a power surge to awaken the god. In my own version of the Realms, Auppensor had tried to consume the power of the Seldarine to ascend to even higher levels of power. A backlash caused him to enter the divine equivalent of a coma. His divine realm was sealed from within and the orbs were necessary to find it and enter it. My wife had sculpted a fat mindflayer figure because of an off-handed remark I'd made about never seeing an overweight mindflayer, so I wrote it up as an NPC. It had started the plot to find the Lost Halls of Auppensor, acting as a behind the scenes patron to the party at first to help them find the orbs, all because he was a bit of a gourmand and wanted to taste the mind of a god. When they gathered the orbs and gave them to their patron, he took off with them. In the battle, before he got away, they saw his true form. They had to follow his trail to the god's domain and save him from the mindflayer. They managed to awaken the god and defeat the mind flayer. In that version of the Realms, Auppensor returned as the psionic version of Mystra, and the PCs were all awarded for their deeds before retiring. [/QUOTE]
