Eldemy Campain Log: June 5, 2010

Monday, June 7th, 2010

The game begins in the subterranean chamber beneath an abandoned cathedral in the ruined city of Amana. The party has just dispatched a Lich and it’s exploding skeletons. One PC, Crunch, was killed in the battle.

The party is introduced to (Casey’s New Character), who informs the party that he works for Duke Elkis as a observer and information gatherer. He was sent to Amana to look into a recent increase in undead activity in the area around the ruins.

The party escapes from Amana, with the second of the three artifacts they need to open a portal to the Elemental Chaos, and see out the source of power of the Demon Princes. When they arrive at their airship, they are introduced to (Eric’s Character – Felonius?), who is initially distrusted and claims to be hunting for one of the Demon Princes.

The party proceeds to Mandeight’s Keep (Mandeight is the younger brother of Xavier Birdstaff, trusted vizier to Duke Elkis).

The party discovers that most, if not all, of the clerics from the Temple of Bahamut in Eldemy have taken refuge on the island around Mandeight’s keep (about 40 in number).

Mandeight informs the party that he has an opportunity to infiltrate the Conspiracy, and will soon leave to do so. Xavier is also leaving, in an attempt to garner support from the mysterious realm of Toreschga.

Bishop Voston, who until recently ran the temple of Bahamut, informs the party that the city is in a terrible crisis. Soon after dusk each night, terrible creature roam the street and kill (and sometime devour) anyone unfortunate to not take refuge indoors.

The party travels via Skipping Mirror to the basement of Litch’s Taproom (their old watering hole). They decide to make their way to Ransom’s father’s estate, which lies just outside the city walls. They slip out of the tavern at dusk and make their way through the city.

Several times, they hear the sounds of the creatures hunting in the streets, and they even get a glimpse as they scale the city walls.  One of the creatures is very tall (15-ft), with horns protruding from its head.

At the Rodgers Estate, they discover that the creatures seem to be coming from the Royal District of the city.

The party sneaks their way back to Litch’s Taproom, where they use the skipping mirror to infiltrate the Imperial Palace.

They discover the mirror has been moved to the secret harbor beneath the palace. They find evidence that something is living (and feeding) on the shores of the secret harbor. They sneak their way into the Palace proper.

In the Imperial Throne Room, they find a Frost Giant (actually a Titan) sitting in a throne made of ice, where the real throne would have been.

The Titan asks, “Have you come to pay homage to your new Emperor.”

Dor decides to take the lead and begins to talk to the Titan while the party gets in position. After a while, it becomes evident that the Titan feels no need to fight. He relays the following information:

  • The Conspiracy is missing a key component for their ritual to open a portal for the demon princes.
  • Currently both Orcus and Dagon have the ability to enter the natural world at will; however, they won’t leave the Abyss until Demogorgon can leave as well. They each fear the others may take over their domains in their absence.
  • The titan admits that he is able to control the demons (who are here because of previous failed rituals), but only to a certain extent. In order to prevent them from turning on him, he lets them feed every night. Although they are warned not to enter any buildings or homes. The Titan assumed that the people of the city would eventually figure this out.
  • He has told the party that his is willing to ally with them if they bring him the corpses of one of the demon bands as a sign of competence.
