Il-Arkh-Nazril Chronicles (FalAL, S10)

25th of Ninthmoon, Year 193.1.3

Adventures handled a variety of small local problems including taluses blocking the road, bugs investing caves, and troglodytes in the travel tunnels; they also assisted the city with several tasks including gathering items for the God Houses, keeping watch for workers excavating ruins, and taking a shift at the north watch tower. All tasks set out by the city were completed!

23rd of Tenthmoon, Year 193.1.3

This day was busy with the activity that comes with All Hallows. First, adventurers pursued the troglodytes they had fought the moon before; at the end of the troglodytes’ tunnel, they found a dark troll guarding a shrine; they destroyed the shrine, but had a foreboding feeling of more trouble from it to come. They then cleared out many dangers in the forest below Il-Arkh-Nazril to make safe way for travelers.

Once these tasks were tended to, they returned to the ruins that had been excavated during the moon prior: and there, found a carving of a door held closed with gigantic morganti chains and a dripping lock. The lock broke, the chains melted into a swirling mass of morganti, and killed several party members; they left behind glowing vials of golden liquid that had been trapped in the morganti. The party did what they could to revive their fallen party members and tended to non-fatal but very permanent injuries.

After this, they helped carry packages for deities into a place deep below the mountains. They elected to carry a giant sword on behalf of Sif; after making their way past many dangers, they cast the sword into a seemingly-endless pit as an apparent “sacrifice” on behalf of the goddess.

In the evening, the adventurers returned to the door, decoded a message around its frame, researched the shape of land masses carved on its surface, and matched the golden vials to slots carved on the door, each with a unknown symbol. Once the vials’ contents were poured into these impressions, the door became active and showed them visions of other places and strange people; then were whisked away by another force to see more of these people, and had the opportunity to deliver a short unseen message to each. They invited these people to come and travel to this region.

27th of Eleventhmoon, Year 193.1.3

First thing in the morning, adventurers went to clear the road up to Il-Arkh-Nazril of some dangers and other problems that had cropped up along it. They then headed to the god-homes district to try to determine why all the deities had shuttered their doors. Afterwards, they went to a section of foothills north of the city where a massive shelf of earth had risen several hundred feet overnight, revealing many old earthen layers; there, they had a vision. Towards the end of the day, they attended a clansmoon called in Il-Arkh-Nazril to discuss the vision at the Door and give their testimony to the clan representatives meeting there.

29th of Firstmoon, Year 194.1.3

Adventurers returned for the new year to discover that they had a new innkeeper from Kharavak Clan due to their connection with the clan’s domain of “calling”. Following a conversation with her, they departed quickly to track down signs of one of six strange dark comets that had fallen near the city during a recent eclipse; there, they found signs of troglodyte meddling and went to clear a host of troglodytes that had taken over a Torkord building site. Afterwards, they assisted Svaild Clan in managing traffic coming into Il-Arkh-Nazril; then headed down to a checkpoint where Giltsvod and Kveld Clans were engaged in a clan war and tried to mediate the conflict. They started on another mission after that, but were sidetracked by a party member who had been acting strangely all day; took him to get exorcised, and through a series of visions, cleared him of the influence of the Court of Darkness.

26th of Secondmoon, Year 194.1.3

First thing in the morning, adventurers rushed out to rescue people from an exploded geothermal engine. Upon rescuing many workers with bad burns from the entrance to the engine, they ventured in deeper to try to shut it down before more damage could be done. They were able to close some of the valves before being killed themselves by fire elementals roaming the halls, but not before discovering a strange morganti tendril in the main tunnel. After this, the proceeded to help followers of what have been deemed the “New Olden Gods” who were being attacked on their way to Il-Arkh-Nazril; after proceeding through a tedious Giltsvod checkpoint, they found the followers were being captured by a mob of people and turned into Giltsvod for questioning.

After a lengthy discussion about clan politics with their Huron representative, adventurers set out to try to track down more of the moon tears from the firstmoon eclipse. The senses of their party members led them south; when their direction split, they made their way east and found a tunnel entrance guarded by undead. Several members of their party were captured by the undead; they made a rescue attempt with the help of a strange creature from the forest, and succeeded in rescuing some of their fellows while others were captured instead.

26th of Thirdmoon, Year 194.1.3

Adventurers’ first priority this day was to return to the crypt where members of their party had been captured last moon and rescue them. They passed through a Giltsvod Clan checkpoint and past several other encounters before reaching the crypt site; after using a previously-discovered secret door to access the main chamber they fought through the undead within, brought down the litch, and recovered their friends. They then exorcised the litch and received a collective vision. Once the vision was complete, the party debated about what to do with the treasure in the crypt and ultimately decided to put it to good causes and gave Huron Clan stewardship of the distribution of the gold.

Afterwards, adventurers headed to Kharoum of Clan Khâravak at the urging of Huron Clan. They encountered several obstacles, including a band of Giltsvod warriors who killed most of the party; when they arrived at Kharoum, they found more dead – both Khâravak and Harbingers Followers, all slain with morganti. Inside the stronghold they encountered more Harbingers Followers, and were killed by them many times; after returning briefly to Il-Arkh-Nazril to regroup, they made their way deep into the clan stronghold and found a shrine to the Harbingers and Nerys Clan Khâravak in a standoff outside a set of large doors deep underground. Once the shrine was defeated and exorcised, they were summarily dismissed from the stronghold.

25th of Sixthmoon, Year 194.1.3

During this event, the adventurers were split between two locations: one in Il-Arkh-Nazril, and the other still beyond the mysterious door they stepped through a moon ago.

The adventurers in Il-Arkh-Nazril first went in search of a pair of visitors who went missing in some of the tunnel paths near the city. They tracked them through the tunnels and successfully located the visitors; then brought back news that they were alive and well and would return to the city very soon. Their path then took them to the steps of the Il-Arkh-Nazril Clan Hall, where members of the First Visitors were calling for justice for their morganti-slain companion and where many Torkorian citizens were also gathering either to support or oppose that same call; they helped manage the crowd and build a consensus to call for a trial of the Giltsvod stronghold leader responsible for the death. Lastly, they met with the newly-arrived delegation of Fourth Visitors and asked and answered questions of their respective homelands and histories.

The adventurers through the door spent the time exploring a vast expanse of desert; they followed a small stream for a long ways and encountered many strange things. They eventually found a door out; once they crossed back into Torkord, they found that a moon had passed even though the sun had never risen or set and they had not felt any hunger, thirst, or tiredness while they were in that place.
