S05E12 - The Mournland

The sun sets over the jagged mountain peaks of Eberron, casting long shadows across the remnants of a battlefield enshrined in silence. The air is thick with the heavy scent of metal and decay, remnants of a time long past. In the midst of these ruins, the party stands at the edge of a vast valley, with a giant helmet looming like a monument to lost souls.   As the evening winds start to whisper secrets through the desolation, a flicker of energy dances in the air—an echo of the chaos that once reigned here. The adventures you've endured have brought you closer to the heart of an ancient conflict, one that threatens not just your world, but the very fabric of reality itself.   Players gather around the table, their hearts racing with the anticipation of what lies ahead. Will you unearth the mysteries hidden in this forsaken land? Will you wield the power of the Rod of Seven Parts, or will it slip through your fingers once more?   With resolve hardening in your hearts and the shadows creeping ever closer, you take your first steps into the Mournland, ready to grapple with the ghosts of the past and the trials yet to come. Adventure beckons—what choices will you make in the face of destiny?   Prepare yourselves, Stormbreakers. The journey continues, and the stakes have never been higher.

S04E11 - Divine Contention

### Narrative Introduction   The Stormbreakers stood on the deck of their newly acquired warship, the salty breeze of the Sword Coast filling their lungs as they sailed from Leilon to Neverwinter. The journey was uneventful, giving them ample time to discuss what to do with their formidable vessel, yet no consensus was reached. Upon docking in the bustling city of Neverwinter, they were summoned to an audience with Lord Neverember.   Lord Neverember, the city's stern yet pragmatic ruler, briefed them on a growing threat: a cult dedicated to the dreaded lich god, Vecna. Unlike the usual cults that occasionally stirred trouble, this one was insidious, kidnapping citizens from all walks of life with no discernible pattern. Among the missing were:  

  • **Eldon Keyward**, a scholar from the House of Knowledge renowned for his vast intellect.
  • **Indrina Lamsensettle**, a socialite and actor who mingled with Neverwinter's elite.
  • **Sarcelle Malinosh**, a human magic-user known for her arcane prowess.
  • **Umberto Noblin**, a gnome historian with a knack for uncovering forgotten lore.
  • Troubleshooters had been hired to investigate the cult and rescue the kidnapped, but the situation turned grim when Kevori Fearnehart, one of the troubleshooters, found her brother dead. In his hand, he clutched a desiccated eyeball, not his own. Detect Magic and Identify revealed the eye was enchanted to lead a follower to the cult's hideout with the command, "Hail the Undying."   Determined to uncover the cult's secrets, the Stormbreakers followed the enchanted eye to the foreboding Neverdeath Graveyard. There, they discovered the Hallix family mausoleum, its doors ajar and tracks leading inside. Thaumaturgy opened the well-oiled doors to reveal a dusty crypt, empty coffins, and a staircase descending into darkness.   Despite some initial hesitation, the group descended the stairs, entering a large subterranean chamber lined with stone coffins. The oppressive silence was broken by the shuffling of five pale, desiccated warriors in wicked armor.   Ezra, the dwarf cleric, charged down the steps, turning two of the wights with divine might. One wight was slain before it could flee, while the other escaped into the shadows. Xaemarra, the agile elf, skirmished with the wights, darting in and out of danger. Kanenas held the front line, striking down the undead with precision. Zith unleashed his arcane power, while Ozus, ever cautious, joined the fray despite his reservations.   After a fierce battle, the Stormbreakers stood victorious, four wights defeated and the fifth out of sight. As they caught their breath, Zith, eager to test his new spell, cast Wizard Eye. The invisible, magical sensor swept through the catacombs, revealing more of the underground labyrinth.   To the west, a large chamber opened up, its ceiling cracked with protruding roots. Three doors in the north wall were visible, one bearing a new padlock. Stairs to the west led to a small balcony overlooking the room, adorned with a door painted with an eye.   Zith's magical eye slipped through a fracture in the door to the right, revealing a ten-foot-square room with a metal grate in the floor. Below, a small gold harp, loose papers, and a piece of bloody cloth lay in a shallow stone pit.   To the south, another sizeable room held rusted pipes and a deep stone basin filled with water. An alcove in the southwest corner led to a padlocked door, and a stairway on the east side descended to another door.   As the session begins, the Stormbreakers stand ready, their path uncertain but their resolve unwavering. What dangers and secrets lie ahead in the dark depths of Neverdeath Graveyard? The next chapter of their adventure is about to unfold.
