They've restored as fallen elven nation and killed the ghostly dragon that had corrupted it. This involved finding the key to the pocket realm where the kingdom was locked away, fighting the corrupted elves that were trying desperatly to get out and making peace with the spirits of the murdered elven princess and her court. This lead to the group chaising the dragon to it's pocket dimension and finally killing it for good. Of course the dragon managed to kill the party mage in the opening round and almost toasted the rest of the group as well. Never line up all pretty for a dragon to breathe on, and then follow up with a lighting bolt.After all this they discovered the Emperor the was looking for them, but they suspected for a rather nefasrious reason. This paranoia only escalted when their nemisis showed up to inform them he now worked for the Emperor and that he had been named Lord of the Northern Armies. He was dispatching a legion of his best troops to "guard" the characters lands and vassals for them to "protect" them from the roaming hordes left over from the Army the characters had smashed earlier in their career.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  (oooh were they ticked off)Of course they also had an evil artifact locked away in a portable hole that slowly raised the dead as shambling zombies and skeletons. They needed to find a way to destroy it permanently before the psycho sorceress showed back up demanding to know why they hadn't destroyed it yet.This led to the group tramping off to the astral plane and fighting gith on a floating dead gods head (thanks piratecat!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> ). They found the book with the ritual they needed but in the process discovered that the dead god was an ancient evil god of the dark north wind. They ventured down into the depths of the head and over the green lake of clambering lost souls. fought through the shadow demons and discovered a spirled room of masulims. The paladin detected a massive evil so the ventured down to the depths and were attacked by two flesh golems made from the gods own flesh that screamed "You shall not release the North!" as they attacked. Once the golems were dispatched the paladin (I think he had lost it at this point  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> ) broke through the sealed wall and released the North. They were not quite sure what it was, but they suspected it was either a former high priest of the god, or a former aspect of the god itself. Either way it wiped the floor with them and then ran off. Thanking the paladin for his freedom. He even offered to allow the paladin to accompany him and join him. It was at this point that the campiagn fell apart and when the dust cleared I was left with a foul taste in my mouth torwads it. So I have started a new campaign in a homebrew Arcana Unearthed world. Lots of fun so far and I have a very good group of players this time around.</blockquote>
