The Journey So Far

by Oxton Light

1. Adventure :
Octon met Nabi, a friendly, female half orc monk he met at the city named ??? near a giant portal. The city had trouble fighting against an army of orc mercenaries though their leader seemed unable to lead his army as he was too distraught over the loss of his pet goat. At first Oxton and Nabi, who quickly became friends, did a number of odd jobs to earn some money for their traveling expenses, during one of which they discovered one of the local weapon and armour smiths to be an undead (although friendly and quirky). Afterwards they accepted a quest to find the mercenary leader's quest to find his goat, lured by the promise of high reward.
Both soon discovered a plot within the mercanary army to overthrow the current leader and their plan to feed the goat a potion which will cause it to explode in an attempt to hurt its master. Oxton and Naby, after thinking it over a lot, deceided against using the innocent goat as a sacrifice and promised to try otherwise. Maybe through luck, the goat had been quickly found, however upon returning it the distraught and cooperative mercenary leader turned stern and suspicious almost immediately, which made it impossible for the two to take him out in secrecy. As such they left only to hear a loud explosion once they covered an extensive distance.
 

  • Oxton crossed the portal and went on a pilgrimage through the lands on the other side of the portal.


  • 2. Adventure :
    Oxton, Serendipity, Varis and 2 others went out in search of an orc settlement/kingdom near the pioneer city OEFTENREITH behind the portal to prevent tragedy. Before they had been sent back in time by YALLIPSIS, a blue tiefling sorceress with godlike powers so they can prevent an orc attack that will raze the city. They only found a small village with terrified orcs that soon got attacked by an army of undead. The village was barely defended by their orc warriors and a powerful Orc warrior with magic powers named KRUNKZ. The army of undead belongs to a blue kingdom and evil lord named TRAGNOR, who is alledgedly immortal.
     
    3 Adventure :
    After getting sent back in time again by YILLIPSIS to prevent KRUNKZ from sacrificing his eyes for power to GROMMAN and suscept himself to eternal torment, and failing to do so, we got sent even further back in time.
    This time, ending up in a backwood city in the north with VARIS, SERENDIPITY, CID, ???, isolated and alone by dead woods, the group went out and discovered a temple ruin gatherung massive amount of magic like a drain. Upon entering the ruins we encountered an abomination. The resulting fight, including undead and a lot of genius usage of spells, ended with VARIS almost dying. Sadly he got healed just in time, for which he was quite ungrateful for.
    Further expedition discovered more undead in the ruins, slaughtered by a red half-dragon ZYLBODIN. A failed battle encounter, chess match and heartless, unjustified, unprovoked slaughter of a cute little bunny later by the monster half-dragon, he got dared to fight a trapped ogr undead in the first room.
    He failed utterly like the little bastard he was and died.
    Further expedition of the ruins let the group discover parts of an ancient language that could channel magic. Sadly said parts were lost almost immediately.
    After that OXTON discover an artifact of GROMMAN which he destroyed as the heineous got tried hypnotising Oxtona nd insulted his goddess while the rest of the group fought... something over a hand mirror.
    Shortly before we left the ruins we discovered a room with silver treasures and a magical artefact. Upon touching it, Nabi was given the opportunity to change fate, which she used to dethrone ???, the immortal ruler and never let him be crowned in the first place.
    As we soon discovered, this resulted in a butterfly effect that caused the city we came from to be a non-human city under siege of humans from the south and the two kingdoms, the northern non-human on and the southern, human one to be at war with each other. By coincidence we also met two new travelers, one who appears to be a very tall goblin woman and another her dead husband who is a soul bound to an empty armour.
