A strange discovery (session 1 RP campaign Sunday night 8pm eastern)
Posted: Wed Oct 18, 2023 7:16 pm
The warden of Blackstone Keep was concerned. Everywhere he looked, the monsters of the land seemed to be better armed and armored than ever before. He knew his own forces were not equipped to take on these increasingly powerful adversaries, so he decided to call upon the adventurers from his own keep to help.
The adventurers were excited at the prospect of a new challenge and agreed to help the warden. Not far outside of the keep they faced kobolds and fought their way to the kobolds cave.
They soon discovered that the monsters had made deals with other orcs and goblins, who had been supplying them with powerful weapons and armor. They found much increased mining and forging activity in the caves. Soon they fought their way through and found the kobold elder. After defeating him in battle, they discovered a strange artifact. It was made of materials and metal unknown with almost god-like craftsmanship. They felt a slight vibration holding the artifact and a voice whispered in their minds "make me whole".
After fighting their way back out of the caves, they set up a camp near the entrance to rest from their efforts. It was raining and after a short time they noticed wagon tracks leading south. They followed the tracks to a wagon leaving the area. They fought the orcs and kobolds, leaving with the wagon and discovered it to be a wagon load of arms. After a fierce battle, the adventurers were able to overpower the orcs and confiscate their shipment.
The warden was relieved to know that the monsters had been stopped from further arming themselves, and he thanked the adventurers for their help. He was even more relieved when the adventurers presented him with the location of the weapons and armor they had intercepted. The warden dispatched a heavy patrol to seize the wagon.
He was so pleased with the adventurers' work that he gave them each a generous reward and a house to spend the night in. And even arranged for Foxmore to examine the strange artifact they found. So they set out to visit Foxmore.
After a quick hello, Foxmore casts spells to examine the artifact they found. The sheer power of the artifact knocked Foxmore to the ground. After a time, he was able to rise and unscramble his thoughts. "I was able to learn very little about the artifact, which is ancient and very powerful." He did notice some dirt in the runes and assumed the artifact had been buried. The kobolds probably unearthed it during their mining operations.
After leaving Foxmore's, a guard met the adventurers to lead them to their house for the night. They went in to rest after a hard few days of battle. It wasn't very long and a deep sleep overcame them all. After quite a time, they awoke in strange lands they had never heard of before. What and where is this small town called Homestead?
