Plot points/Scenes

ACT I

Exploring Nasir Mmoja

As you arrive in Nasir Mmoja a Goblin General stops you. This place is virbant and full of lights. This is a goblin vegas. Minus the casions, so if anyone ask you to gamble, don't. You see some goblins walking in with prisoners, and you see others drunk, playing with prisoners and having fun.
The Goblin General who stops you asks, "is this a gift for the Goblin King?"

This is clearly a goblin state. The lights illuminate the city cobalstone. Goblins pour in and out of a tavern drunk, kids constantly try to pickpocket any race that is not goblin, hobgoblin, or ogre. These races are also in chains. For a goblin camp, there is are some magical braclets (braclets that block the ability to do magic). Non-goblins do work in shops, but they are also in chains. The streets are littered with trashed, it smells like a rotting milk and chicken. Flies, mosquitoes, and gnats swarm around the camp. There are a few boats parked on the other side of the camp. One of them has a mast and crest of House Milile. Passive perception would reveal some of the prisoners that are being walked in, are some of the employees from The Silver Hole. There is no order in this town. No town guard, this place is pure anarchy.
Tafu, your guide is well known among the local Goblin's as a guide and has paid many of the faces here to not rob him or clients.

There are pleanty of trading post, but this is a goblin trade post so be careful, and you are in goblin vegas. There are a tavern, trader, a blacksmith, brothel, and the Temple of The Goblin King, Sorac. However, in the distance of the camp is the destoryed temple of Liabon.
The remains of a Temple of Liabon are about an hour north. Goblins come back bloody and talk about how the temple is boobytrapped and there is no way for them to get in or out without losing adventures.

Tafu will tell you that they should stick close to Xac. No matter where the adventures want to go to first, Xac and Tafu want to get a drinks, he's exhausted, being with them is tiring. Then Tafu is hitting the brothel.

The Spinning Stool

Worked by: Elf, Vxy, and this is not a bar, this barrel of ale with a tap on it, and some stools. The Goblins let Tafu go wherever he wants, he doesn't really cause trouble and the only place he goes is to the bar. VXY is a drow. She has sunspots and burn marks all over her body. Newt would assume she is a member of the Jikot Kingdom, based on how weathered her hands and nails are.

Questioning Vxy:

Asking about Aaron:
Vxy knows him very well. He is being held prisoner underneath the Goblin King's thrown room. The Goblin King makes his captives fight to the death, if you win three times, you earn your freedom, which means you're sold to be a slave for a goblin up here. But at least I'm not down in the dungeon.
Listen I've said to much, but the trader, in the south of camp, has a pacurious rouge that he aquired. Her name was Jane, Baine, Rayne! Rayne! That was it! If you're looking to free the captives, she was just released. I've been up here for almost a year now. A lot could've changed sinced them.
Asking about Rayne :
Rayne woke up in the middle of the desert a months back. Her last adventuring party faught a red wizard named, Eliar (L-E-ARE). They were tracking this multiverse cult, the cult of Janthiman, and his followers are crazy and chaotic. Eliar was not a member of this cult but in fact turned out to be a red wizard. Their ended with them being displaced. Some travelers from the underdark say a choatic know-it-all who claims to be from another deminsion is down there. Rayne knows that has to Horus. She needs to free her friends, but goblins in his camp are ruthless, and the Goblin King will kill you on site.
(group needs to explain why there are talking to Rayne)
If you can free me, I will help you free your friend.

The Goblin King

The Goblin King has a deep voice. He is taller than all of the goblins and a rank musk comes off of him. He has a dark disdain for Xac The Dragon Slayer.

The Goblin King was captive in Jua, back when the land was plush with greenery. Over 700 years ago. Then we served an archfey diety and I was only an elf. The archfey took many lovers, but she had one rule, never sleep with the goblins. She looked at the goblins as a lower cast, as less than. A woman of such beauty hated on these snivling creatures. She found out I had a relationship with a Goblin Woman, Torri. I would go on to live for another 4 or 500 years, but Torri, she would be dead and gone. She told me, if I wanted to love the Goblins so much I could be one of them. Then our archfey found out about this she cursed me and turned me into a goblin. Then, oneday, all you see was dry. Some say Nidrid, the Gold Dragon burned everything, others say the archfey dried up the land because of the pain she caused me.
See I met Xac around 20 years ago. I was a captive of the goblins for over 200 years. The Goblin King at the time was Xac's great uncle. Xac was ambitions. I was locked up because the Goblins did not believe I was a goblin. The rumors of how such a tall goblin could be one of them was a mystery.
The Goblins always had a contensious relationship with Madeye. From when she was just a Young Dragon until know. For as long as I can remember. Then one day, the old Goblin King sent me out to prove my worth, Xac led us. With nothing more than my barehands and Xac's extreme hunting skills, we defeated Madeye but did not kill her. Madeye was older and was already exiled but this did not help matters. As proof I took a sword I found in her cave, and cut out her eye.
Sorac shows you his sword and stabs the ground. The King was going to throw me back in jail but I slaughter him and a third of his forces, alone! With just this sword. During the fight, Xac stole the eye from me. Xac ran off like a fucking coward. When you kill the king, you become the king. Xac didn't like this but kept talking about how he would dethrown the me! I knew he was dangerous because I know the power a dragon's eye holds. I sent troops and troops after him but no one would could capture him because he had that fucking eye. His legend grew and grew, he was Xac The Dragon Slayer. Madeye doesn't bother us and it is all because I, Sorac, struck a deal with her and took her eye. But Xac is the Dragon Slayer.
I created the rumor, that the eye wasn't real. These greedy bitches would want the eye for themselves. I put out a hit on Xac 500 dead, 250 alive, and 2000gp if you bring me the eye.
I know the rumors in my camp. Some call me The Mad King. I have fully embraced my calling as the Goblin King. Xac means nothing to me. I have built an empire from the archfey's curse, but there is one thing that will make my kingdom complete, Madeye's fucking eye!
If it's true what you say, that you do have Xac as your captive, I would forgo subjecting you and your friends from our prison and our entertainment (a crowd cheers). But only if you produce Xac and the eye in the next 59 minutes. If you don't have it, Then I will show you why I am called The Mad King.
Show spoiler

Sorac will challenge Newt to a fight. (DM START A RUNNING CLOCK -- 5mins)

The Goblin King's Thrown Room

Goblin's as far as the eye can see. The Goblin King runs all. You see prisoners are being pitted against one another in a bloody flight for sport. Xac tells you, sometimes the prisoners can challenge the guards for their freedom, but the Goblin King just kills them after the fight.

Show spoiler

This man is fascinated by this group of adventures. Two aasimar, and a Cleric. Lt. Stygian would know him to be a follower of Thadeus Grimm and the cult of Janthiman.
Thadeus's plans are in motion, I may be captured but we have found the first artifact. (only allowed three questions, after each Wisdom Check DC 12, 15, 18 -- to see a necklace of fireball around his neck DC 20+ -- you know you only have three questions). This man has reverence and respect for Stygian Black but he is no longer a Lt. because he ran like a coward.
However, this man knows where Mr. Black's wife and child's halos are, but that does not matter because plans are in motion. The Great Thadeus Grimm is now on this plane and no celestial will be left alive.
He turns to Ara and says, you're families sins will not go unnoticed. "I will be harold a hero for killing the great Lt. Stygian Black. The Unknown man pulls three beads from his a necklace (now you know this is a necklace of fireball) and swallows three beads. (HIGH / LOW ROLL -- On a win, you get to use one reaction).

Passive perception of 11 or higher and you see blood on the ground, where the goblins have tried to put people in the cell with him. Simon is worth a lot of money, he owns all the silver in the Northern territories. (Insight -- this is not true. He has profitable silver business.)
Cell 8 -- The Gnomey RICHARD. This is Omar's ace. He is a more shady character. He is the front of house man at Omar's in skullport. He ask you to get him and away from this fucking camp and he will give you anything, on the house. No matter what your into. Those goblins have him scheduled to fight in the next battle.

A statue of Victor Von Liabon stands in the center of the room. A mural that tells the history of Liabon is painted along the walls.

The murals depict a young Victor walking hand in hand with two gold dragons. History or Nature (DC 15 check -- recognize Nidrid, a male, and Ether, a female.) The murals hint at Victor's transformation into the first vampire, a mystery shrouded in legend but vividly illustrated in this ancient artwork.
Victor, once a scholar and healer, fell gravely ill just as he was to wed a beloved woman. Desperate, he sought aid from his friends, the gold dragons. Nidrid, attempting to console Victor, urged him to accept his cruel fate, but Victor refused. Ether, aware of a great evil lurking in the depths of the Underdark—a purple dragon—sought to cure Victor, but instead unwittingly cursed him with vampirism. Betrayed and embittered, Victor's grief drove him to madness, resulting in Ether's death at his hands. He spared the purple dragon, for it had inadvertently resurrected him.
Consumed by vengeance, Victor embarked on a relentless quest to find Nidrid. Over time, he learned that Nidrid had transformed himself into a gnome, though the dragon's eyes betrayed his true nature. Victor, now a lord of vampires, commands a kingdom dedicated to his singular mission of finding and killing Nidrid. In House Liabon, any vampire who fails to pursue Nidrid is deemed an enemy of the realm, bound by blood oath to Victor's cause.

Room 6 (Cont'd) or Room 9 -- Another Mural. Picture 1: The Dark Ritual
In this dimly lit chamber, Victor Von Liabon stands before a flickering altar, surrounded by swirling mists and arcane symbols etched in blood. The Purple Dragon, his savory, giving him the gift of enteral damnation. Victor raises a jeweled dagger high above his head, its blade catching the cold moonlight filtering through stained glass windows. Around him, candles burn low, casting eerie shadows that dance upon the stone walls.
Picture 2: The Binding of Souls
Victor is surrounded by 4 dead souls, in this animated mural, he takes the dagger, and drips his blood into their mouths. Each person, opens their eyes. Fangs for teeth. Pale skin, sensitive to sunlight. Dark energy surrounding them. Lt. Black, you know this ritual as the 1st Soul binding ritual. This was the ritual that brought you back from the brink of death. However, in this painting, these are the first souls bound to Victor. A half-orc (Mookie Thunderfist), an wood elf (Elara Moonshadow), an Aasamir (Zekul Winnie - Ara's father - this is how he became a Fallen Aasamir). Those who are bound to Victor are forced to do his bidding under pentaly of death. Those who refuse, lose their power and are hunted until dead. The last person's face is obsured from view.
Picture 3: The Winter Caberet. Inside the eerie castle of Victor Von Liabon is the ball Ashanti has invited you to. A figure of regal darkness, wields a chalice brimming with black smoke. Each guess takes a chalice. Those who refuse, their throats are slit. Their expressions are a mix of enchantment and dread. Those who have a chalice drink are then tied to a chair and placed a table, this is the mass turning ritual. It happens once every 200 years to ensure House Liabon continue to grow. Due to the rise of vampire hunters, adventures, and a lack of food, this ritual is a way to ensure the Original 4 are still strong and Victor is able to regain his power for another 200 years. However, the painting shows the mass turning ritual with the Original 4. This time, you can see the face of the elf, it is ASHANTI!

********************** 7/28 & 9/??? ************************ SIDE QUEST 800 YEARS IN THE PAST At the heart of the Druid Grove in the Echo Plane stands Jabari Oakfather, a guardian of timeless wisdom and ancient power. His presence is both awe-inspiring and somber, as his skin, etched with celestial markings, tells tales of the heavens—some of which are marred by broken chains, a testament to the burdens he bears. Jabari's eyes, shrouded in a veil of smoky mist, reflect the weight of his role as the eternal watcher of the grove's mysteries. The Druid Grove itself is a sprawling expanse of natural splendor, framed by three concentric circles that each serve a distinct purpose. The Outer Circle is adorned with seven intricately carved doors, each portal offering a gateway to unknown realms. Beyond this lies the Middle Circle, where five more doors stand among a sea of lush flora and gently winding pathways. At the very center of the grove, the Inner Circle holds three grand doors encircling three reflecting pools, which shimmer with arcane energy. These pools reveal glimpses of the Past, Present, and Future, casting their reflections across the serene, verdant landscape. The entire grove is imbued with an ethereal glow, where time seems to flow differently, and every element contributes to its aura of ancient magic and cosmic balance. However, Jabari’s one fateful lapse has had catastrophic consequences. In a moment of leniency, he allowed an individual to traverse back into the past to alter their destiny. This act set into motion a series of events that led to the rise of malevolent cults and widespread turmoil. In a desperate attempt to rectify his mistake and prevent further paradoxes, Jabari destroyed the very door that enabled time travel. This act, intended to safeguard against further disruption, left him haunted by the disarray he inadvertently caused and the shadows of the cults that now threaten the realm. Anyone who attempts to abuse a door within the Druid Grove will face severe consequences. Such transgressions are met with eternal banishment from the grove, and the offender's soul will be irrevocably trapped within Jabari's Staff of the Nine Hells. This staff, a formidable relic of immense dark power, serves as both a ward and a prison, ensuring that those who defy the sacred balance of the grove are condemned to an eternity of torment and isolation. "I am Jabari Oakheart, the keeper of this grove in the echo plane, and you are tresspasers. Adventures are no longer allowed in my realm! You are destructive and only seek self gratifing rewards." "if you abuse these doors, Jabari will kick you out of his grove and you will never be able to access the Echo Plane ever again!" ********************************************************* The Echo Plane -- this is the echo plane! A realm between the material plane and he the celestial plane! I see all (yes he is Hamdal). This world is an echo of yours. I sit here, watching. I see the past the present and the future. The last adventures who came into my realm manipulated the past for their own self gain. I no longer allowe travelers to venture into the past! Ashanti -- she cannot escape her nature. Chaotic neutral. Still under the control of Victor, she seeks to be free from his bounds. The question on your heart is, can you trust her. Though her path is seth with damnation, her motivations ae pure, though her methods may not be. The Golden City-- The location of which is only known by the Gold Dragon who hid it and the wizard who holds the city within his pocket deminsion. The Wizard has been given strict instructions to only let those into the Golden City, when the Gold Dragon can present himself. The Wizard owns the only Magic Shop in the Isles of Nyeupe. THE HIDDEN DOOR (HOME) Takes you to Ashanti's Tea Shop, or Two their individual homes where they will face their dopalgangger. IF THEY TRUST ASHANTI (Let Each Player Walk through the door) You find yourself in a small room where you where you see yourself, billowing with smoke. The door behind you has vanished and you can see there is only one way out. STILL DON'T TRUST ASHANTI You find yourself in Ashanti's tea shop. Walls crumbled. She speaks to a Drow woman surrounded by cultist, multi-colored cloaks. Her bodyguards dying beside her. You notice the shop is in disrepair but you also see version of yourself, dead around her. "Rayina wants to know where the crown of Celestial Dominance is?"
As you enter into this, what looks to be a mercy killing. With Ashanti's last breath she exclaims, she doesn't know.

You did not trust her! You saught to kill her when she defended herself, but you aided your self with the dragon eye. The second you used it, Rayina found you, she turned you all, the protectors of the realm, into puppets for the Cult of Bhaal.

Inside of the Library are books and books and books on the history of the realm. The world before the skism, and the 5 celestials (Orisha of the Sky and Thunder, Anansi the Trickster, Olokun, Deity of the Deep Sea, Chukwu, Creator of All Things, and Shani, Creator of all things). There is even a book about five magical artificats created by the gods to bring forth five champions if ever another great evil should arise, such as Brother Thaduesus Grimm.
There are also books written by the Mad Madam. The library is a workshop with a bunch of unfinished inventions. The only finished infusion is a tattoo'd weapon.(https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDHomebrew/comments/px27bd/sheath_tattoo_common_wondrous_item_plus_a/) A voice calls out to your mind, "don't be alarmed. I am going to reveal myself. I am the Scarlet Wraith. I seek to undermind corruption in the town of Driftwood on the Kisi Islands. Madam Fauler was a charming woman, making invintions to attempt to better her community. But when she fell ill, she hired adventures to help her find a cure. She spent time building her servant, Osul, but then on one trip, my trip, when I came back she turned herself into a metal monster. She was more machine than woman and she locked herself in her vault. I only stayed because that tressure could help the town of Harper's Village. But only Osul has the codes and because I was the last adventure out who did not come back with a cure, Osul seeks to kill me, like he did all of the other adventures. There are only two ways to get the codes. Kill Osul or find a cure for her illness, which no one but her knows what she has. (It is a magic dissease inflicted on her by the gods. Mada Fauler cursed them for not giving her more in life and they saught to take hers sense she didn't appreciate it. Humbled by the experienced, she turned herself into a robot.) THE CODE FOR THE DOOR IS IN You see code with arcane ruins. The door behind you locks sealing you into the chamber. The chamber fills with water and will be full in 10 minutes. The keypad onthe door are arcane ruins written in Celestial (Water, Fire, Air, Moon, Sun, Earth). Behind the vault you find the Madam of the house. She is hooked up to an apparatus that is keeping her alive but barely. She tells you she doesn't have long, but she has found a cure but believes she is to weak to retrieve it, and Osul must stay here to take care of her. The quest is daunting and hard. She needs the lungs of an Ogre Chef or Royal, the dying smoke of an Efreeti (she has one trapped in her workshop), and the blood of a dead Gold Dragon. The door opens and you see a room full of tressure. A total of 5,608 gp worth of coins, art objects, and/or gems, as follows: 4,208 gp in coinage: 100 pp 2,600 gp 6,000 sp 800 cp 100 gp gemstones (×14; worth 1,400 gp total): Coral (opaque crimson) Tourmaline (transparent pale green, blue, brown, or red), ×3 Pearl (opaque lustrous white, yellow, or pink), ×3 Jade (translucent light green, deep green, or white), ×2 Garnet (transparent red, brown-green, or violet) Amethyst (transparent deep purple), ×2 Chrysoberyl (transparent yellow-green to pale green) Amber (transparent watery gold to rich gold) Magic Items (Table A) (×2) 4.

Blue Dragons are known for enjoying music and entertainers. (Yes there is a lute and harp in her hoarde) 11 - 15: They are very Vain and Deadly 16+ : You have knowledge given to you by a great source that returning the eye could result in a larger fight that you may or may not want any parts of. Though grateful, you have this feeling, Mad Eye may demand something of you instead of giving you what you want. In trying to return the eye, Mad Eye will accept their gift and put it in her horde. She remebers the goblin who took it. He used to be an elf. For returning her eye, the gift is sparing their life. The Goblin King nearly killed her but back then she was a young adult dragon. She demands you bring her the head of the goblin king and crown, cloak and sword. Refuse and she will kill them all today. Mad eye does not respect humanoids. You are squishy play things for my amusment. Do or do not, but either way, I will eat well. Refuse her and But she will give them nothing in return for it. They will now be in service to the eldest Chromatic Dragon in he realm. If there is a problem they can die here today. She expect tribute in gold or magic items, and if she is not given these items, she will hunt you down like vile creatures you are. 30 days she expects tribute. 5.

DEAL WITH THE DEVIL AZAZEL The door opens in a lush room. Candle lights. Treys float with food and wine. Appearing in front of you as the fireplace errupts, is the Devil Azazel. Everyone but Newt would know the fallen angel on sight. He welcomes you to humble abode, and ask you to take a seat. He has a proposal for you that might be worth your wild. Proposal. (Wants out of his prison in return he gives you 3 levels in Warlock) Azazel requires a small favor, nothing to big, it is quiet manageable. He would do it himself but until the favor is complete, he is bound to these mortal chains. Agree to do this mission for me, and I will grant you 3 Levels in Warlock, with me as your patron of course. He is the destoryer of worlds. In order to free him, he requires the diamond around the neck of a demon too dumb to know he is incarserated. 7.

As you walk in you see her reading a book called the Dragon and The Donkey.

She grows tired of peasant life. "Have you slain Gorrak yet." (You know Gorrak as the Red Dragon that your Step-Father pays almost 90% of the towns wealth to.)

Your Step-father taxes those outside of the kingdom almost 90% to feed Gorraks hungar for wealth. All that old bitch does is bully humans. Don't let the pagentry and the nicely paved streets and lack of human shit fool you. The people still talk to me. People hate living here. Zumi is good for your brother and her family is good for Jikot. Gorrak doesn't approve of the wedding. I have heard rumor that the Dragon Guard is supposed to kill Zumi on their honeymoon and bring her dead corpse to Gorrak as tribute. But I also heard that a group of Coya loyalist plan to kill Barruke and your Step-Father at the wedding, while sending a small army (which isn't funny because they are all dwarvs) to fight Gorrak.
----Dispite what your step-father does, he does not like paying Gorrak all of the towns wealth. That's why he needs to the workforce to dig the mines and bring more gold. He told one time on one of our many light night rumps around my garden (wink wink) that he would give a royal pardon to anyone that would kill Gorrak. The Royal Guard won't do it because they are loyal to the Dragon, but fears if Gorrak is pronounced dead, he doesn't know if some would start an uprising or rejoice. He talks like he is a mad king, but the truth is, he is a scared king. Ara -- sees brother's captain quarters. There is a chest with something flopping around inside.

The Mayor explains that only Eldritch Starweaver's Magic Shop was not affacted, and the Artificer Morgath is the one responsible. His workshop continues to float away, and no one is brave enough to go up there and get him. Objectives: Gather Information: Talk to the mayor and residents to learn about the curse’s origin and the artificer Morgath. Gather details on the Crimson Cat and why Morgath targeted him. Investigate the Rogue: Discover more about the Crimson Cat and his connection to Morgath. Find out if he is still in town or if he has left, and learn about any recent sightings or activities. Encounters: Gravity Puzzles: Navigate through the town’s gravity-altered areas, solving puzzles like manipulating floating platforms or avoiding hazardous floating debris.
The Anti-Magic Filled Library.
A Human Sorcerer named: Eldric Starweaver The library was unaffected by the spell, but has scrolls of levitate and fly (for 150gp each). However, the spell is a concentration spell and Eldric Starweaver would kill himself trying to survive. Eldric knows Morgath's Workshop. It floats a thousand feet in the air.
Reaching Morgath's Workshop
How to Solve: Observation: Players should observe the pattern and positions of the platforms. Some may be stable while others drift slowly or tilt. Skill Checks: Characters may need to use Acrobatics checks to jump between platforms or Dexterity checks to balance on unstable surfaces. Creative Solutions: Players might use spells like Levitate or Fly, or magical items to assist in crossing the gaps. Alternatively, they could use objects in their environment to bridge gaps or stabilize their path. Scene 2: The Artificer’s Grievances Objective 1: Help Morgath Finish Constructing His Machine Task Overview: The adventurers need to assist Morgath in gathering the final components and assembling his gravity-reversing machine. The workshop, affected by the gravity reversal, presents challenges for retrieving these parts. Parts Needed: Arcane Crystal: A glowing crystal that powers the machine's core. It is floating near the ceiling of the workshop. Magnetic Coil: A coil that regulates the machine’s energy flow. It is stuck inside a large, suspended gear assembly. Mana Conduit: A delicate tube used to channel magical energy. It is tangled in a web of floating wires and cables. Control Lever: A crucial component for operating the machine. It is floating near a rotating fan that intermittently blows it around the room. Retrieval Challenges: Floating Arcane Crystal: Requires a Dexterity or Acrobatics check (DC 12) to maneuver safely and retrieve it from an elevated position. Magnetic Coil: Requires an Acrobatics check (DC 14) to navigate through the rotating gear assembly without getting caught or injured. Mana Conduit: Requires a Dexterity check (DC 13) to untangle from the floating wires and cables without damaging it. Control Lever: Requires an Acrobatics or Dexterity check (DC 15) to catch it as it moves with the rotating fan and floating objects. Strength Save and Percentage Roll: Holding the Parts: Once the machine is activated, each PC must roll a DC 10 Strength saving throw to hold their part in place as the machine powers up. Percentage Roll for Machine Activation: Roll a d100: Roll 1-50: The machine partially activates but does not fully reverse the gravity. Some areas stabilize, but others remain chaotic. Roll 51-100: The machine successfully reverses the gravity, restoring order to the town. Final Dexterity Saving Throw: Impact of Gravity Reversal: As the gravity returns to normal, players must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. Failure: Players take full fall damage (1d6 per 10 feet fallen). Success: Players take half damage. The Crimson Cat is a bounty hunter. He uses stolen magic items to catch thieves. When rumor of him showing back up in town, the artificer turned the gravity off. He is an elusive rouge who will steal from anyone. He tends to travel alone. He has a massive bounty on his head, dead or alive.
The Brothel: The Gif That Keeps Giving
Owned by Madem Gifs
The only women in this place are goblins and the only patrons are goblins as well. There are a few hobgoblins but they look like they are only there for the drinks.
Madam Gifs was once a raider with Sorac. All are welcome at her establishment and unlike other places in the Nasir Mmoja, her girls will show you a good time no matter what race you are.
The Casino
Out here in this vastness there is nothing but the compound. It is easy to fade into the background.
The Casino technically isn't in Nasir Mmoja, but it is just outside of the city walls. However it is owned and controlled by The Goblin King. His red and white flag flies high on the building.
This is where all of the non-goblins are hiding. Spending well earned cashed.

Exposition

Who is Azel:

Azel was once a cleric in the time before the celestial realm and the hells split. When gods and devils walked the material world beside one another. Azel was a loyal cleric to the Angel Thaddeus Grimm. Back then even angles had followers. Azel was beyond loyal. He served Thaddues and prayed religiously and did everything without question. Azel was tasked with other clerics to retrieve five relics from the gods. These items helped forge the material plane. 1) Orisha -- goddess of the Sky and Thunder: Her relic -- THE ORB OF DRAGON KIND – Tiamat: Enhances Tiamat’s draconic powers and allows her transformation into a smoke dragon. All Chromatic Dragons are loyal to her.
This was the relic stolen by Raina Green (she is now the ellusive smoke dragon). 2) Anansi the Trickster: Her relic is: THE LUTE OF LIFE, DEATH, AND DESTINY (has both good and bad properties)
Life's Melody (3/day): As an action, the wielder can play a soothing melody that allows them to cast Mass Cure Wounds or Revivfy without expending a spell slot. The healing provided is maximized, restoring the target's hit points as if rolled at the highest value. Death’s Lament (2/day): Once per long rest, the wielder can play a haunting chord that causes all creatures within a 30-foot radius to make a Constitution saving throw (DC 18). On a failed save, the target takes 6d8 necrotic damage as they feel their insides heat up, as if molten metal were coursing through their veins. On a successful save, they take half damage and feel no additional effects. Destiny's Call (1/day): As an action, the wielder can play a captivating chord that forces all creatures within a 30-foot radius to make a Charisma saving throw (DC 18) at disadvantage. On a failed save, they are under the influence of the spell DOMINATE PERSON for 1 hour, compelled to follow simple commands and influenced by the wielder's suggestions. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns to end the effect. Aura of Fate: While attuned to the lute, the wielder has advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened, as the lute's magic shields them from external influences. Curse of Duality: The lute's powers come with a price. Each time a spell is cast using the lute, the wielder must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or suffer 1d4 psychic damage. If the wielder uses the Death’s Lament ability, they must roll a d20. On a roll of 1, an undead creature or vengeful spirit becomes aware of the wielder and seeks retribution for 1d4 days.
Weilded by (A TRAVELING MUSICIAN) 3) Olokun, Deity of the Deep Sea His relic is OLOKUN'S TRIDENT -- A powerful weapon of the sea god Olokun, this trident grants the wielder mastery over water and storms. It is highly coveted, as it can summon tidal waves and control sea creatures, making it a key to dominance over the oceans.

The Merfolk have possession of the trident. This is what the SEA ELF and MERFOLK war is over. The Sea Elves believe the Merfolk stole the trident from Olokun. 4) Shango, God of Fire and Lightning His relic is -- The Chalice of Life -- A divine artifact that can heal any wound and restore life.
Revitalizing Brew: When the chalice is filled with liquid and consumed, it not only heals the drinker for a substantial amount (like 10d8 hit points) but also removes one level of exhaustion. This can turn the tide in a desperate situation. Life-Giving Surge: Once per day, the wielder can use the chalice to bring a recently deceased creature back to life as if by the Revivify spell, without the usual components. The creature returns with full hit points but suffers from a temporary madness effect. Group Restoration: The chalice can be used to cast Mass Cure Wounds as an action, allowing the wielder to heal multiple allies at once. The amount healed is doubled, and any extra hit points above the normal healing are converted into temporary hit points. Bountiful Feast: When filled with food and drink, the chalice creates an endless supply of nourishing sustenance for a number of creatures equal to the wielder's Charisma modifier (minimum of one). The food provides the benefits of a full meal and can be used to restore hit points in a pinch. Gift of the Ancients: The chalice grants its wielder the ability to speak with the spirits of the deceased. Once per long rest, the wielder can ask up to three questions about life, death, or a specific individual, receiving cryptic but valuable insights. 5) Chukwu, Creator of All Things His relic is the CROWN OF CELESTIAL DOMINANCE -- A regal headpiece that grants the wearer immense power and authority over celestial beings. It enhances the user's Charisma and allows them to command celestial forces, but it also draws the attention of darker powers who wish to reclaim it. Azel attempted to take the first item but was caught. As he was being held captive. Thaddeus turned on him. Azel took the fall for Thaddeus' actions. The gods could see that they were under attack, and believed Azel wanted all of their power for himself to rule as one god. Azel pleaded for his innocence, but they did not believe him. The gods hid their five relics with the five kingdoms. Only a holy person (or angel) can see the relic for what it truly is, but to the untrained eye, it looks mundane. They cast him to the hells and Azel became the first Devil. Azel lashed out, destroy everything the gods had built. When Thaddeus revealed his true nature and made an attempt on the gods life. They asked Thaddeus to rejoin them as their sixth most high god. Thaddeus had mad a life for himself in the hells. He never knew love, only hate. He told the gods that he would join them whey they laid dead at his feet and their souls trapped in his enteral domain. Seeing his ambition and they locked Azel away, hoping no one would ever set him free. The five Gods created five champions to always watch over and guard Azazel's prison. However, Thaddues corrupted the guards, and now, the five champions are his minions. There whereabouts of them are unknown, but I have heard the Lute was taken from is hiding place and so was the orb of dragon kind. The gods did not know who the more dangerous threat was. The one who raised an army to attack them. Or the loyal subject they turned their back on. Thaddeus retreated to the material plane but has been quiet for thousands of years. I (Lady Lu) was tasked with keeping Azel prisoner.
