Tezchi’tatl Chronicles (S12 Tessellations)

1st of Tenthmoon, Year 215.3.3

Adventurers spent the day running many errands across the city. They took a stolen statue back from a spider monkey; helped a builder with zombie mold return to his home; and helped the city surveyors clear out a spider infestation in ruins under the city. While there, they found signs of someone else having recently been there and having tampered with the ruins.

The party started their day outside the city: searching for missing scouts, and gathering spices to give to the city in preparation for All Hallows. They found the scouts captured by spiders, and rescued them. They brought them to town, then returned to the forest to hunt packs of wolfwers gathering near the city and were successful. That done, they turned inwards towards the center of the city: they helped clear out and clean up the main plaza, where the main celebration is to be staged later this moon.

Adventurers started the day by going to the city archives to consult artifact-searchers there about several artifacts in their party. They then made their way to the Temple District to assist the various priests there with errands; they went to the market to fulfill their tasks for Lakshmi and Quetzalcoatl. The party then went to the herbalists and resurrection-summons circles in search of what they needed for the Lost Death, and were unable to find it. From there, they went to journey outside the city; but had to turn back as the sun was setting.

10th of Tenthmoon, Year 215.3.3

The party started the day by going to an abandoned house with a group of murderers holed up in it; they breached the house, took down the murderers, and discovered a shrine underneath the house. They were unable to move or destroy it, and on their way out the murderers reawoke and killed many of them. Adventurers then went outside the city to chase down a haunt; while solving the haunt, many creatures of the forest came to attack them. They were able to take a message back to the city, then spent their last time in the day tracking down thieves stealing from the inns and taverns around Tezchi’tatl; about half of the thieves were stopped.

15th of Tenthmoon, Year 215.3.3

Adventurers went to the Temple District to attend to an urgent summons; they talked with the priests there, then headed to the house of murderers in town. They dealt with the murderers, broke up the shrine, and brought it back in pieces to the Tezchi’tatl priests to be exorcised. They then accompanied Coronate Xochiyotl on errands around the city, and successfully kept him safe.

24th of Tenthmoon, Year 215.3.3

Adventurers first went out to handle the large structure being built by gnomes outside of town and blocking the road; they talked the gnomes into abandoning the structure and coming into the city of Tezchi’tatl instead. They then headed further out into the forest to clear out a group of spiders with skull features that had been gathering; it took several tries, but the spiders were eventually defeated. They found a strange shrine where the spiders had been gathered.

29th of Tenthmoon, Year 215.3.3

With the commencement of the All Hallows celebrations and parade, the adventurers decided to attend; on their way, they stopped by the previously-cleared ruins in Steps District to check on them. When they arrived, something felt off; and, upon further investigation, found several people with morganti in the chambers below. They rushed to go tell Coronate Xochiyotl, who was making a speech in the main plaza – but, before they could get his attention, was slain with morganti as well by one of his own palace guards. They grabbed the Coronate’s body and rushed him to the summoning circles as the city erupted into chaos, and sent a messenger to alert the main palace. They then rushed to the Celestacualli to look for help, and when they arrived, found the head of the Celesacualli possessed by a figure of darkness; they spoke to it until it left.

31st of Tenthmoon, Year 215.3.3

With pandemonium following the assassination of Coronate Xochiyotl, adventurers first went out to the streets where house-altars were being smashed. There, they confronted groups of people deliberately going around and smashing the altars and harming other townsfolk; this group was driven off. Afterwards, they investigated a street where the lights had been going out; a trail of broken lights brought them to some dark trolls hiding in ruins under abandoned houses. The dark trolls sacrificed several party members on a shrine, and they were forced to retreat.

5th of Eleventhmoon, Year 215.3.3

Adventurers accepted an invitation to speak to Coronate Qyné, returned to the city in the wake of his brother’s assassination, and speak to him; they spoke about the assassination and what to do now, and made a deal with the Coronate. Following the conversation, they proceeded to an old gnome fort outside the city walls that had become infested with skullcaps; they fought to destroy them, but ultimately had to be rescued by the city scouts.

14th of Eleventhmoon, Year 215.3.3

Adventurers started by rescuing people from the forest: villagers fleeing their homes as the forest closed in around the city. They rushed out and held the forest back while people escaped, and rescued all but a few. They then went to an abandoned plaza on the north end of the city with the intention of clearing it out for farming since the city’s access to their own farms had been cut off: there they found the area infested with creatures living in the tunnels beneath the city – trolls, zombies, and more – as well as cultists who seemed determined to stop them. They were unable to clear it.

19th of Eleventhmoon, Year 215.3.3

Today, the group of adventurers started by speaking to a member of the Dungeoneer’s Guild about work to clear ruins in the city. Afterwards, adventurers went to check on the ruins under the Steps District where they had encountered Coronate Xochiyotl’s assassins; there were signs someone had been there recently, and they found a secret door that led to tunnels further back into the city. They explored until they found three branching passageways guarded by cultists; they defeated the cultists, then proceeded down one of the branching tunnels. There, they found a large shrine and a man they recognized from the city, wielding morganti; they investigated briefly, then retreated swiftly.

21st of Eleventhmoon, Year 215.3.3

Adventurers first rushed to the city wall, which had been broken through and was being besieged by monsters from the forest. In addition to the strange wolfwers, skull spiders, and trolls they had been encountering, they were also met with a half humanoid-half beast creature. They successfully protected the wall, then made their own counterpush: they went to the skullcaps occupying an old gnome fort outside the city walls, and defeated all the skullcaps there. Lastly, they returned to the city and to the old ruined plaza; they cleared it of its dangers successfully, and city folks began laying down dirt right away.

3rd of Twelfthmoon, Year 215.3.3

First, adventurers went out into the forest in the direction the skullcaps had been coming from; their way was no longer barred by the skullcaps, but they faced other dangers on the way. Deeper in the forest, they found a forest shrine guarded by a haunt; they solved the haunt, and the shrine crumbled. Adventurers then returned to the tunnels below the Steps District ruins, chose another passage, and met a Tree of Life priest there; after some conversation about the poem they had pieced together fragments of, they proceeded through a door where they were faced with a hallway of several tests. Past the final room, they found a shrine and a masked figure which asked them to name it; they guessed three times, and the figure disappeared.

5th of Twelfthmoon, Year 215.3.3

Adventurers were greeted with a stranger in the inn, and after a consultation with their regular innkeeper, went after him at the Tree of Life temple. They talked to him for a while; then proceeded out into the forest to search for a large creature sighted in the direction of the solved forest shrine and haunt. They found the shrine, and had a vision; and shortly thereafter, the large creature – a giantic ground sloth – found them. The sloth withered everything around it; they tried to fight it, but to no avail; then retreated.

14th of Firstmoon, Year 216.3.3

One lone adventurer braved the city today. They began with rescuing bodies alongside other townsfolk, bringing them to the healers and summoning circles before they could animate as green zombies; fighting several green zombies in the process. They then made their way across town to the Celestacualli to look for answers as to their divine intervention, and spoke at length to the astronomers working there. Afterwards, they helped to map the presence of vines throughout the city of Tezchi’tatl: where they were, where they were, and where they were growing most quickly. They returned this information to the Dungeoneer’s Guild, and returned to rest.

16th of Firstmoon, Year 216.3.3

Adventurers braved the forest this day in search of healthy wood to bring back to the city inns. They were met with a fearsome onslaught of creatures; rather than gather wood many turned to flee while their companions were chopped down by these creatures. They returned several times to rescue them all, handful by handful, until all of their party members were recovered. Though they did not have the wood they came for, they ensured that none of their fellow adventurers were taken by the forest.

21st of Firstmoon, Year 216.3.3

With the Celestacualli’s guidance from the week prior, the party set out to the uplifted temple ruins turned forest shrine in the Temple District. They ascended it, cleared out half the ruins, and rescued a pair of Dungeoneers caught inside the temple.

23rd of Firstmoon, Year 216.3.3

After taking care of a variety of small tasks in town, adventurers braved the forest to meet the Scouts and Dungeoneers at one of the locations where forest vines were found to be entering the city. They worked to cut out the vines while the fury of the forest descended on them, and were victorious by a hair’s breadth. With a large section of vines severed at the source, the situation inside the city began to improve over the week to follow.

28th of Firstmoon, Year 216.3.3

The party finished what they started a week earlier, returned to the forest shrine in the Temple District, and cleared out the other half of the ruins. When they did so, a weight lifted from the city – returning it to the weight of the week prior.

30th of Firstmoon, Year 216.3.3

Adventurers first assembled in a plaza near the center of the city, where the Crafter’s Guilds were working to clear space to build more large teleport circles. They defended the area and cleared it of danger while the crafters worked, and successfully secured it for enchanting. Afterwards, they made their way back into the forest to gather wood: this time, more prepared. They were able to collect a fair amount of wood and bring it back to town, with only a few casualties in the party.
