Dark Blight Campaign

Cora Lunasong dies in Wiverhead during the Jousting at the annual Dragon Fall Fair when she tries to assassinate the Duke. She fails in her attempt, resulting in her having her head chopped off by the Black Knight.

The party, travelling by cart toward St Austead, suddenly comes to a stop as Grognak falls to the ground, shivering.  A concerned Qildor takes a look at him and finds that he has an infected wound by his ribs where he was stabbed by the Black Knight, with black veins spreading across his torso.    Qildor suggests that they hurry towards the capital as he knows someone there that may be able to help.

Balfor learns that Qildor & Joy are members of a secretive faction called the Children of Gaia, a group dedicated to the presevation and protection of nature and life.  Joy, seeing that Balfor is a Druid, asks if he would like to join them, to which he agrees - gaining a magical cloak of many fashions as a welcome gift.

Confussed and angered at the events in the city square, the party decide that it is too risky to try and sneak into the Royal Palace to talk to the King, instead choosing to flee the city.  Four out of the five members of the party all use magic, and none of them have a permit.   Despite agreeing that they should leave, they disagree on where they should go.  They eventually decide to go with Grognak's plan and head north, towards the Kingdom of Vorstland to try and raise an army to combat what is happening here.

Balfor seems to have a vivid dream about Celestina.  It's only when he wakes and describes his dream to Joy, that she confirms that the description of her matches exactly that of the Goddess of the Hunt.    Perhaps this is a sign, or just the strange halusinations from a drunken dwarf - but Balfor does seem to feel somewhat different inside.

On there way towards Vorstland, the party decide to visit the town of Oakedge. This was the town that Grognak & Cora saw be burnt to the ground by the Duke and his men almost a month ago. Interested, they decide to investigate to see if they can figure out why a kingdom would burn one of its own towns to the ground.   Whilst there, they discovered a young girl called Alina who was surviving on her own after her family was killed during the destruction of the town. The party decided to take her along with them, not wanting to leave her behind.

Travelling by boat, Balfor, Zook, Leshanna and Letani travelled to an island in the middle of Celestina bay, seeking out to talk to Petrichor, the leader of Myrrdin to talk to him and seek his help to lift the curse on Zook.

After seeing the devestation of Myrrdin and the death of his longtime friend Joy Saffron Qildor decided to leave the party and travel back to the Children of Gaia headquarters to spread news of what had happened.

A young wizard named Amala introduces herself to the party. She is recovering from a broken leg and requests help from them. She is searching for a legendary creature, called a Chiwinga, and asks the party to keep an eye out for one - ideally bringing it back for her to research. Also, her companion Naveen, who traveled ahead of her, has not reported back yet and she is beginning to get worried. The party agree to help her.

The party reunite the missing children with their mother in Blod.  They also show the Giant's head to Ulf, the clan leader, who is overjoyed that they have helped the clan in such a glorious way.  In celebration the clan hold a feast in their honour.
