Campaign Chronicles

07 Deepkolt 349 AC AT THE OTHER FARMHOUSE As Kysek sends Bubo ahead; he instructs his raptor companion to search the left and right sides of the tracks the enemies left as they came in and to report anything out of the ordinary. Kysek himself follows the tracks as they lie. He stays silent and unseen as he moves forward. He goes out approximately a quarter-mile, searching for any signs of reinforcements following behind the initial attackers. He searches the ground and keeps an eye to the skies as well. The pair finds plenty of tracks and follows them back toward where they came from. They eventually reach the Thon-Thalus River where they locate three rowboats pulled up onto the shore. Bubo flies to the far bank and looks around. There are dozens, if not hundreds of footprints in the mud and melted snow going in numerous directions. Kysek sends a message to Romulus; “There are more! Prepare! Release Dusk! I’ll meet her in the tree tops!” He instructs Bubo to circle and find any signs...

02 Deepkolt 349 AC Morning does not arrive so much as thr black of night fades into a silvery-gray haze. As soon as the group wakes, Granite explains what he learned. Arthur gives the word and the party makes ready to leave. Agnes opens the door. The hallway stands empty, just polished stone and sconces with purple flames lighting the way. Before they can make it more than a few steps, they hear footfalls approaching. Nicholas appears from around the bend in the corridor. "Ahhh... you are awake. I come bearing news." Arthur looks at Nicholas, "What is this news?" Nicholas gestures lightly down the corridor. “A storm has settled over the Sands of Time. It formed not long before dawn.” Davaa frowns, “There was no wind last night.” Nicholas nods, “Yes. That is… not uncommon here.” Granite grumbles. Nicholas continues, unbothered. “Travel would be… unwise. The sands are unstable. Visibility is poor.” The howl of wind echoes through the tower. "Granite, h...

Stamford, CT - the New Warriors, while filming an episode for their reality-TV show, attempt to apprehend a group of supervillains. A battle erupts and one of those villains, Nitro, uses his self-detonation power and blows himself up. The blast ignites a gas main and several city blocks are destroyed. 612 civilians, including 60 children in an elementary school are killed. This event leads to the creation of the Superhuman Registration Act and the subsequent creation of the 50-State Initiative - a program where each state would be assigned a team of state-sponsored superheroes. While the SRA was eventually repealed, the Initiative teams are gradually being activated. Note #1: In Marvel Comics (Earth-616) canon, the Spaceknights are the Initiative team for Illinois. They have no "on-screen" appearances. It is implied that they are related to the Galad orian Spaceknights when the hero Spinner stated during the Skrull Invasion, " Man,  Do  they hate shape-changing al...

07 Deepkolt 349 AC AT THE OTHER FARMHOUSE Kysek brings Dusk the treats he found. He then walks her to the barn. “Stay here girl; I’m going to make certain this will be a safe stable for you." He slips silently inside, checking every corner, every nook for an enemy who ducked inside to escape the slaughter outside. Once he knows it's safe, he leads her inside. He gives her the dried meat and some pats on her neck. "I'll be back soon." Dusk chirps once and settles down, loaf-style, on the barn floor. Kysek steps out, closing the door behind him. He finds Romulus overseeing the last of the cleanup from the battle. He tell the Mage, "I'm going to scout the area. I'll send a message if I find anything. There's more where these came from. I'm just not sure how far. Keep an eye on Dusk?" "I will. Don't go too far." Romulus replies. Kysek nods and sends Bubo ahead, knowing the owl can cover more ground.Acid. THE PROTECTOR...

07 Deepkolt 349 AC AT THE OTHER FARMHOUSE Romulus retreats to the kitchen of the farmhouse. He pinches the wick of a candle between his thumb and forefinger and a tiny flame springs to life, illuminating the small room. He pulls out three scrolls and reads them, sending updates to Commander Parnitha, Raven, and Shadow. All of the messages are the same: "Twelve goblins and twelve Draconians slain in battle at my location. No casualties on our side." Kysek makes his way back to Dusk. “This is only a small part of what we can do girl. While this battle was preplanned; there will be many others that are not. Thank you for carrying me to locate our enemies so we could rout them in haste. You are truly a noble steed!” Kysek tells her as he scratches her under the chin excitedly. The griffon makes a "chirrrrr" sound and cranes her neck, exposing more area for her master's scratches. “Let me see if I can find you some treats inside? I’ll be right back," he a...
