XD20 - Darkness Falls, Part 2 /2

Join me as I play part two of two of an XD20 one-shot Dragonlance game in celebration of 10K subscribers to this Dragonlance Saga YouTube channel. The group has responded to an urgent summons for aid and have inadvertently become embroiled in the machinations of Lord Soth.

Intro

Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. Today I am playing an XD20 one-shot Dragonlance game. It is Bracha, Fierswelt the 2nd and my name is Adam. I would like to welcome my players and allow them to introduce their characters:: (list your name and character name/race/class)

Setup

Lord Soth needs a piece of Takhisis Tear. ⅔ have been recovered already. The Late Lord Viranesh has the third piece. It has been a family heirloom since the Age of Might. The tear allows the user to travel to the abyss. When his son found it, he bragged about it and word eventually traveled to Lord Soth. He wants Caradok to enter the abyss and collect Kitiara’s Soul. Caradok travels to Viranesh keep and kills all but the son, daughter and a hidden maid. Caradoc takes the son. Caradoc then travels to Kentrall Graveyard to a favored mausoleum, to conduct the ritual at sunrise.

The heroes learn from Lord Viranesh’s daughter that the tale tells of the artifact being taken by the kingpriest and broken. Pieces were scattered among honorable knights of the rose, sword and crown. When united, one was to present it with the rising sun while making a sacrifice. This will open a portal to the abyss for Caradok.

The heroes will have to ride out immediately to get to the graveyard in time. They arrive as the boy is about to be killed. There are skeleton warriors guarding them and skeletons defending it. They have three rounds before caradoc kills the boy.

Episode 2

Recap: It is, Bracha, Holmswelth the 12th, 359 AC early in the morning.The heroes were attending a celebratory feast in Maelgoth. Lord Fullgrate hosted Lord Gunthar Uth Wistan when a young lady, out of breath and road-worn was presented. It was Lady Jezebel from Viranesh Keep pleading for aid against undead attackers. The heroes charged through the darkest hours of the night to Viranesh Keep to find it under assault by the Undead. After defeating the abominations, the lady of the keep, Lady Elsbeth revealed that a monster named Caradoc had taken her brother Lord Xander and a piece of a family heirloom, a piece of the Tear of Takhisis. Caradok, Lord Soth’s Seneshal was headed to Kentrell’s Graveyard to perform a ritual. The heroes promised to seek out Caradoc to retrieve Xander and possibly the Artifact.
Lady Jezebel insists on going with the heroes and provides fresh mounts.
Lady Elsbeth runs up to the party handing Luel a tattered parchment that was under the artifact. It reveals that when reassembled the Tear of Takhisis can open a portal to the Abyss with a sacrifice. She fears her brother Lord Xander is the sacrifice.
