It is the four hundred eleventh year since the Fall of the Empire of Raskia. In Cardosa, Prince Othba readies his father's most stalwart ships for a journey into the unknown. In the north, barbaric Kvells have conquered Geir and driven the God-King into hiding. A mysterious cult of dwarven wizards called the Ganskraad have been appearing across the land. These are what many would call "interesting times". Beyond the scope of all of this, on the eastern coast of Russkland, a band of friends reunites in the fishing village of Hentig and prepares to set out into the world to seek fame, fortune, and adventure. This campaign calendar will follow the trials and tribulations of these adventurers. Keep an eye on this space to see current goings-on in our campaign. The current campaign date is: The 13th of Penkos Excited about a possible lead on the location of the Blade of Purity, the party prepairs for a trip north, to Crayford. Sir Maruk and Anna have warned them that a plague of undead seems to be afflicting the northern parts of East Geir. The party suspects that Ethyliss may be behind this. Previously, on the 29th of Peros Many things have happened since our last update! After tangling with Ethylis in Cardosa, the party returned the bones of Yaddrah to the trapped elven queen beneath the ancient temple, freeing her. Following his prophetic dreams, Durant found evidence to suspect he was seeing visions of a giant named Gurdhoff who lived near a small town north of Tannik called Oakport. The party travels there and defeats the giant after a pitched battle. Previously in the campaign, on Midsummer (Kuthra's Holy Day), the 23rd of Kuthrus A hard ride from the ruins of the temple brought the party back to Brell just in time for a messenger to be sent to Gellton to save poor Marci from an unfair trial. Meanwhile, an important council meeting was called to discuss the seriousness of Ethylis being loose on the world. In attendance were High Matron Anna of the Church of Ase, Deacon Wendal of the Church of Hadwn, Ralambrikanas of the Gnomish Consortium, Sir Artus of the Knights of Kuthra, Deacon Haleos the Wise of the Troubadours of Chastaine, and Mother Penelea of the Church of Bryonia. After some discussion, it was decided that the party be sent to Cardosa to attempt to both recover the bones of Yaddrah and stop Ethylis from performing a ceremony to raise the spirits of two of his long-dead Elven generals. Another rushed journey, assisted by some magical intervention on the part of Deacon Wendal, enabled the party to reach Cardosa in only three days of travel. In Cardosa, Saldrin's visions guided the party to Yaddrah's resting place, but as the sun sets on the evening of Kuthra's most holy day, they must find the Lich-Thing and attempt to stop his necromantic rituals! Can they do it? Recently in the Campaign: After finding catacombs of tombs beneath the temple, the party received strange advice from an ancient, ethereal woman claiming to be an elf. She advised them to travel to Cardosa in Anar and retrieve the bones of a priest named Yaddrah. Dorian had some suspicions, however. From her journal: I have my doubts about that tall serene lady. I don't trust her. It seems to me that if she were truly intent on fighting evil she wouldn't send us out for bones. I fear that it may be trick! Maybe she needs those bones to perform the same ritual as Ethylis. Maybe she's mad at Ethylis for escaping and she wants to do the same as him, using us to retrieve the one magic element that she herself couldn't get. I don't know, maybe she is Ethylis. Sending us on a wild goose chase. |

13 Anna and Sir Maruk warn the party that a plague of undead seems to be rising in the north. Sir Maruk instructs them that a mortally wounded knight who recently arrived in Crayford may be able to tell them where the Blade of Purity is. Excited at the prospect of another adventure, the party begins preparing for the long journey to Crayford. |
| 14 Feeling perhaps a bit apprehensive, the party leaves for Anteel. |
15 The party arrives in Anteel and restocks all of their supplies. |
16 New The party leaves on the long road to Crayford. |

| 21 Our adventurers encounter a band of knights on their way south to Anteel. |
22 Finally, the party reaches the White Hills, where bands of undead have supposedly been spotted. |
23 First Just after dark, the party is assaulted by a band of ghouls, lead by one of Ethyliss's fearsome undead generals! Thanks to the faith of Saldrin and Durant, the fiends are dispelled. |
24 On this night, Saldrin is granted a strange vision. |
25 During their travels, the party comes across the abandoned body of a ghoul. That night, they are assaulted again! After a great deal of effort, they finally manage to destroy the general and his ghouls. Unfortunately, Cymbaline is gravely wounded during the battle. |
26 After realizing that Cymbaline is unfit to travel, the party is luckily met by a party of knights from Crayford, who escort them back to the city. |
27 |
| 28 The party, escorted by knights, arrives in Crayford. Cymbaline is taken to the Temple of Ase for treatment, and Sir Durant manages to speak to the mortally wounded Sir Aroast. Although he dies later that night, Sir Aroast is able to provide the party with valuable information. |

| 1 The majority of the party is stricken with terrible hangovers, and nothing gets done for an entire day. |

3 Disguised as merchants, and with Cymbaline recovered enough to continue the journey, the party is ferried across the Craythe River to Kvell-Geir. There, they intend to find their way to Oldham and then to a place called Crooked Lake. |
||||
| 4 In a deserted, war-torn village, the party meets a strange traveler named Thorolf, who asks to travel with them to Craythe. |
5 The disguised party encounters a Kvell warband. It seems that they are not suspected at all, and the Kvells are happy to purchase their goods. |
6 |
7 Last The party finally reaches Craythe, on the shore of the Dunruin Sea. They make preliminary arrangements for passage on a renegade Geirlish ship to Oldham. |
8 Vischi is forced to register himself as a Syndicate merchant. |
9 The party, carrying contraband weapons bound for the Oldham resistance, departs on the renegade ship. |
10 It becomes apparent that the ship is being followed by one of King Vettea's warships. Despite the party's efforts, the warship gains on them. A pitched battle results, with the renegades being saved by an act of forbidden magic -- a lightning bolt flashes from the sky, crippling the king's ship. |
| 11 |
12 New The party arrives in Oldham. Ozzmord, tempted by the lure of forbidden magic, is trapped and killed by Ethyliss. Rest in peace, Ozz! Now that they suspect Ethyliss is ahead of them, the party has very little time to mourn. |
13 With no time to waste, the party meets with the Oldham resistance and is assigned a guide named Pedron, who will lead them to crooked lake. They leave that day. |
14 |
15 The party reaches the road to Muckleteel, which leads also to Crooked Lake. |
16 The party is assaulted by bandits, but manages to repel the attack and even take a few prisoners. |
17 Staying the night at the Two Shoes Inn, the party discovers that Ethyliss is indeed ahead of them, and has hired a band of thugs to assist him. |
| 18 Passing through Muckleteel, the party encounters an aged priestess of Kuthra. She tells them stories of a dreaded "fire snake". The party passes over the Ness River. |
19 First |
20 Nervous and skittish, the party enters Tief Wood, expecting to encounter the fire snake, or some other ghastly apparition. |
21 |
22 |
23 Leaving Tief Wood, the party attempts to cross Hangman Canyon via a long suspension bridge. Ethyliss outsmarts them, however, and the trap nearly kills Dorian and Sir Durant. Their horses plunge to the river below. |
24 The party loses a day needing to navigate down one side of the canyon and up the other, crossing the Tomachas River. |
| 25 Dorian discovers another of Ethyliss's sorcerous traps, and causes a large fireball to explode in one of the thugs' abandoned camps. She lives, but destroys the evidence. |
26 |
27 Full Limping along with two missing horses, the party finally reaches the swampy woods surrounding Crooked Lake. Pedron informs them that the castle at Crooked Lake is located on an island in the center. |
28 After entering the swampy woods, Pedron and Vischi are attacked by the "fire snake", which ends up being a ferocious, 8-headed fire-breathing serpent! After a pitched battle, the beast is slain. Pedron, however, hovers near death. |
