Goblin War, Tomorrow's Fate
Prologue
Jericho was not what the party expected. Pleading their case in the king's court felt like speaking to a brick wall, a wall known as Chancellor Palpatine. Allister's return was wrought with far more danger than he anticipated. Avoiding the town guards succeeded in nothing but placing him in the clutches of one of the cities many guilds. Steel found getting revered Platemail, even just refitting some found in an ancient temple, is nearly impossible for someone not of royal blood. With so much happening the party returned to Ragna's Manor for safety and a chance to recoup...
Ragna's manservant, the Junon Percy, shows the party to the guest quarter and asks them to get cleaned and dressed for the evening meal. Some comply others find the slight magics of the wizard's home and the cleaning habits of a certain strange dwarven paladin too much to handle. Faylin asked after Allister and the likelihood of his safe return. By the time Percy returns half of the party is draped in purple and wearing fineries. With a derisive glance at the others he leads the assemblage to the manor's main dining hall. The expansive room is peopled with working servants and an elegant table capable of seating 50. The party spread out sitting in cliques and admiring the bounty of food.
Visitors begin to arrive including the beaten and bruised Allister Marden, returned by his captors after a short interrogation, The Magi Errol with his apprentice Umberwhyte, and the crown prince, Crados PenVolken, himself accompanied by his personal bodyguard the infamous Jonathan Path. Ragna Dragosani, wizard of legends, arrived last and the meal commenced. It was Allister, in a surly mood after his rough handling, that dispensed with the pleasantries and asked what the party really wanted to know. Why were they there?
Ragna counters with an invitation for the party to recount their story before two more members of The Hands of Fate. The tale of the party is told once more with interruptions from Ragna, Errol and the Prince to elaborate on important points. With the newer members of the party and the members of The Hands all abreast of the state of things Ragna finally answered Allister's question. The party have all been watched by the Black King of Agadeem, a witch of considerable prowess, long before they met each other and were caught up in the Orbs and the Junon Invasion. The Hands wish to stop The Eyes and their endeavors. The party could play a part in that goal. The party was asked join. Some accept, some did not.
The party would join the prince on his trip to the north to assist in the border skirmish between The King's Army and The Goblin Hordes of the north. Four weeks later the party finds themselves on the fronlines of a bloody battle. Fighting for their lives, fighting for the kingdom, the party finds the unknown shining brightly in the future.
The war continues...

You forgot to put how the wizard put all the fighters to shame.
ReplyDeleteLol. The first true test of the party's skills came in the form of swarms of goblins and an angry Giant. Guido the Elven Wizard proved that having no hp and weilding a stick is just as effective as having a great bth and loads of strength.
ReplyDeleteThe party should start putting the cleric and the wizard in the front because they wracked up more combat kills than anyone else except the ranger.
That was a fun battle, the drunken monk dwarf is madd funny.(What is his name?) The Hand of Fate sounds cool but can you explain them a little more. thanks
ReplyDeleteIn game no one has asked so I'm only providing what has been told in game. lol. what if they were evil... no one has ever asked.
ReplyDeleteIts Dark Shoo Im cool with it
ReplyDeleteOk, I did not wear any purple robes, especially ones provided by a purple Junon. Yea, No explanation on who the hands are and why we were even invited to join. Plus a Junon is a member. Did I mention that purple is my new least favorite color.
ReplyDeleteI came in as an outsider and an outsider I shall remain.
