April 721
The Gather in Coopersvale once again unfolded on a Friday night. As has been the case so far this year, the moon refused to brighten the night, and the Heroes gathered under the glow of the lamplites of their embassies and the tavern. A strangely friendly mimic was seen casting Light spells on any hero that it came across, helping push back the cloying darkness of the night.
The strange animals from across Tyrra continued to be seen, along with foreign merchants. All displaced by the catastrophic event throwing the world into chaos. Word of strange spirits and a new presence in the Underdark also reached many heroes. What is happening to bring so many strange things to Cerroneth?
The night may have been dark, but not empty. Small undead began flooding into town, dropping a mass of baked goods when they were slain. What happened to these peaceful Brownies, and why did they move on the town of Cerroneth like they did? Before the Heroes could find out more, a terrific storm blew in, driving all living things to shelter, and many buildings in the area were damaged.
Saturday morning, the Heroes woke to a now peaceful sky, and began picking up the pieces of the wreckage from the storm the night before. Shogun Ito no Hiro was seen about the town lending aid, and kind words. A misplaced Fairy Tale princess was rescued by a group of newer Heroes. Settled in her own story once again, the Heroes returned to town victorious and with new tales to tell.
A scuffle in the middle of town between Rangers and a Dark Knight.This brought the attention of the Queen, Parissa, and the drama brought many to the Keep at Vel’Yadin. Mage Lord Lanadil came to town, directing the Heroes to fight back against the growing number of werewolf attacks, opening a portal to a network of caves in Tymor. There, amid the confusing and twisting caverns, the Heroes battled against an overflowing nest of Lycanthropes. The fight was long and tiring, but the Heroes left with many rescued citizens, and gave a bloody nose to the Werewolves there.
Saturday evening, the Knights among the Heroes hosted a dinner to discuss their growing camaraderie, and encourage others to take up the Oaths of Knighthood. A gaggle of scrappy young children made their presence known around town, charming the Heroes and citizens alike. Mab and Cherry - both dark fairies of enormous power and influence were seen by the tavern talking to each other, and taunting the heroes. This does not bode well.
Sunday morning, the rookie Heroes once again sprang into action, coming to the aid of a local farmer. Being led to a nearby farmhouse, the Heroes battled against undead and escaped with barely their lives. The villainous farmer was killed in the aftermath after having tricked an unknown number of poor souls to their end in that eerie farm house.
The foreign dignitary, Daimyo Koike no Masato was seen in town shortly before Nipponese started attacking several embassies. They gained entry into the Healer’s Guild utilizing powerful Oni, forcing the heroes to lay siege to it in order to rest control of Coopersvale from the small number of attackers.
This long engagement in Coopersvale proved to be just a distraction, as while the heroes were occupied, Daimyo Koike no Masato used the Kingdom’s recent Gateways to travel across the land to Molmont. He brought with him a veritable army of Oni and troops to the very capital of the Barony of Morlond. A handful of heroes followed this force through the Gateways to Molmont, where they were pushed back through by the Oni forces on the other side. Molmont is besieged by the forces of the Noble House of Gi-Yuuki, lead by the Daimyo Koike no Masato.
Cerroneth is under attack…
