D&D Adventures II
Posted on January 27th, 2009 1 commentThe adventurers set off down the tributary of the Black River that no one travelled anymore, as it led to the gatormen’s lands. The Fortune, a steamboat captained by the shifty Squint, and crewed by his companions, Anouar and Killian, brothers, made its way south under the employ of those selected by Dumas for this task. Charmer and Arya continued on their initial journey, promising to help Dumas save the Cygnarian countryside from the threat the Witchfire brought, and, if possible, his niece Alexia as well. A’ine, after learning the possibility of the Fey realm being threatened by the use of the Witchfire in conjunction with the machines at Cyriss’ temple, decided to accompany along. Apart from Charmer’s attraction to danger (and the associated rewards) and Arya’s desire to do good for the people of Corvis, A’ine is determined to be the logical side of the group, forcing the party to think things through before jumping into action. Her companion, Tiberius, the mysterious swordmage, still stands at her side, but for what purpose and reason, he has given none.
Rounding out the pish-posh collection of would-be heroes is the stowaway, Leto. While technically a stowaway, Leto has essentially become part of the crew, due to Squint’s reluctance to toss the boy back to the streets. Leto says he doesn’t get paid because he is a stowaway, but it is still a good life because he gets fed, clothed, and housed by the men on the boat. Anouar said once he looks at the boy like a mascot.
During the first day of travel, Alexia sent the party a clear warning. Knowing she would be followed, she set up a trap for passing boats. When the Fortune tripped the trap, a number of undead were immediately summoned to the boat’s deck. The party, together with the Fortune’s crew, fought the creatures off tooth and nail. The danger so early reminded the adventurers that they were in for no easy picnic. Knowing they had no choice but to protect the land, they plodded on.
