Pre-Season

The Mists rising around Driftriver propel a myriad of creatures into the river, with monstrosities abounding… and a Kraken making its way to attack those that answer the call! Theodore, Groshka, Grohck fight valiantly and survive their battles in defending the town.

Theodore, Rowan, and Grochk were dispatched to assist the Abbey of the Just Hammer. They arrived to find the Abbey under siege from an army of fiends. The battle raged, and as a portal spit out horrible monsters the priest of Torm in the Abbey called out for a Divine Intervention. With the strike of a hammer, Hulfgar Nearwood was called forward by his god, and he arrived to defend Torm's faithful. The party turned back the army, including a pair of pit fiends, and the Abbey was successfully defended.

Francois Garand Jepord the XIII has another task for agents of B.A.S.E. Assembling a party consisting of Moyra, Rajit, Theodore and Grohck, he assigns them a task to deal with a terrifying set of creatures, bringing back relevant parts to the mage for study and experimentation.

B.A.S.E. had some issues in the sewers come to their attention, and dispatched some agents to handle the issues therein. Creatures were slain and blockages removed.

After taking on a job from Alfonso in his Beer and Cheer, Ruwen meets an old face and has a chat with his drunken self, before heading off with a new party to a farm. Finding the farm, the party assesses the situation and heads north to the river, and then finds a crocodile with a fellow adventurer inside. They free him, and find some toads that ate some of the farmhands they’re looking for.. but one got away. They find Nana’s house, assail the old woman, and eventually leave when Gilitanis finds tracks and no signs of violence at Nana’s house. Getting back to the farm, seems like Lemmy is fine and fishing in the side stream, and Frederick gives the party their token for a job well done.

With Hulfgar drunkenly confronted, he undrunks himself, and has a chat with the adventurers accosting him in Alfonso’s bar. Then there’s a cutaway scene, where an orc and a child are messing with magic, and something goes wrong! Back to Driftriver, a rumbling begins, before a huge crash is heard, as on the eastern outskirts it explodes with several buildings crashing into the fields. The party rushes to find a portal rent into the Far Realm spewing out horrifying monsters that were already eating people. They heroically charge in and fight their way inside the ruined orphanage and save all the kids, except for Timmy, who tries to fix his mistake, and ends up sucked into the portal. A few new faces are brought forth from the disaster, an orcish bard, Zug Zugger, a magical donkey, Champ, a priest, Quinton, and several others. In the aftermath, Kali offers much aid, healing many folks with the aid of the rest of the party, and offering shelter to folk that were displaced by this. All in all, a job well done…? But what happened to Timmy… and those Nothics… and why is that one lady twitching funny?

The party hired by Thayans continued their expedition, they found undead creatures with worms consuming flesh. Easily dispatched they continued exploring and located the source of a loud banging within this ancient research facility. It ensued into an epic boss battle which was quite powerful and quite close to many falling but the party endured.

The party finished exploring and passed the puzzles and met an archlich, Rhaugilath the Ageless. They then freed an elf sorcerer. They had a big epic boss fight and had multiple deaths throughout it but revived mid fight! They made it out alive, returning to Driftriver and reporting in their mission's success. Also on this day: With a member of Hyssop Home still missing after the crashing arrival of the home to the outskirts of Driftriver, a taskforce is assembled to go after Sorn. The group rescued Sorn from a gravitic demiplane. They discovered that He Who Dwells has a special interest in 'Uncle Sorn' and were accosted by strange mutated creatures that spark memories, before managing to get back to Driftriver before becoming trapped upon the odd demiplane.

A party was sent with an archaeology expert and a dwarven expert to suss out problems coming from an abandoned dwarven mining area in the forests south of Driftriver. They discovered a lot of fungal infestation caused by mercury blighted plants. They cleansed the source of the blight and returned to B.A.S.E.

A large new party of fresh recruits is assembled. The party worked together to track down what was destroying a farmers crops. The party found it to be a small group of owl bears and was able to be sure they will not bother the farmer again. As they were returning to give their report to B.A.S.E., they settled a rogue animal that was disturbing the city’s outskirts and finally managed to make their way back to complete their report. On this same day, the fabled hunter, Roniz Sleazemaw, arrived in Driftriver, and worked to assemble a suitable hunting party for an expedition to the Thunder Peaks. Roniz Sleazemaw leads Lionell, Gilitanis, Baldan, and Kallo on a hunt into the Thunder Peaks. They caught two incredible Chimeragraphs with cats and dogs and wombat bunnies with penguin tummies... what? Nonetheless, they all manage to return safely to Driftriver after their assignment is complete.

Days after the strange ‘train’ incident, the sleazy goblin proprietor of Alfonso’s Beer n Cheer, Alfonso manages to get some adventurers inside for a drink, when there’s an explosion of some kind just outside, and down the street. Rushing to attend to the incident, a crazed skeletal figure is leading a mass of zombies and slaad’s to attack the citizenry, which is swiftly combated by the brave adventurers that answer the call. A glowing apparition of what was once a child appears over the fountain being fought around, and zaps a couple of slaad’s out of reality, before simply banishing the maddened bony figure to a realm other than the material. The soft sounds of sirens greet the party with a ‘Wee….. Woo…’ as a cleaning crew comes to tidy up the streets.

A party gathered to fight off a towering, massive Golem-Creature that was stomping its way towards a nearby settlement. They managed to intercept it and put it down before it was much of a danger to any innocents.

A party investigated some missing traders and discovered a den of Maglubiyet worshipping Goblins who were making blood sacrifices to their god. They cleaned the den out and B.A.S.E. sent a recovery team to tidy up the remaining mess left in their wake of goblin-purging.

A small group of B.A.S.E. employees are dispatched to retrieve glue from a strange place. Sent through a portal, they make their way around a strange, goopy forested place, clearing out creatures and gathering their sticky remains to return back to Francois Garand Jepord XIII.
