Campaign History

There's a lot more going on in the world than is listed, but this is where I'll be putting significant world events, campaign events and plot lead-ins. All events are listed cronologically, but keep in mind that news usually travels very slowly and it can take months for tidings to pass from one place to another (especially in winter).

Items preceeded with only a dot are general public knowledge. Things marked with a aren't public knowledge but one or two characters know or are in a good position to find out.

Act One - In The Beginning

The Year of Our Lord 3271: September

Episode 1: Easy Money

21: Thursday
Zafira is contacted by Zoltan, an apprentice mage who needs her to remove his dead master's defenses - which prove to be perhaps more effective than anticipated,
Ragnar is mugged and dumped into a well. After Veskar rescues him, they follow a quartet of skeletons into the Catacombs.
Septimus, Patris & Martin are hired to rescue a kidnapped little girl, and become lost in the Undercity.
The adventurers meet, dispatch the skeletons, retreat in the face of a berzerk flesh golem and track down the little girl. Defeating the slavers they also rescue Lucia Vorloi, heir to House Vorloi. Returning to the surface they are hosted by House Vorloi and will be the guests of honor at a feast on the 22nd.

The party recuperates at House Vorloi, enjoys dinner, accepts the invitation to pursue Cymric and prepares to head out in the morning.

22: Tuesday
The camp is just north of the River Urlamel and the party finds Cymric's camp - they're mere hours behind him. Bitzi tracks Cymric to an old Mopoti border fort and that evening they see him ride in, about 2 miles away.
Patris instigates a headlong attack, it hits the fan, Septimus is 1 BODY from death and many are wounded. Both Cymric & Haldor escape, Pasha does not.
