Session 11

That night after the attack C-3PO and Mauriana Teskelyndros tried to revive Sheriff but were only capable of a full reboot, memories lost.
Also that night Kalli Arlan decided to go to Sharn to research The Oracle of War. Stelly almost convinced her to stay.
The day after the attack on Salvation the Lightning Rail was turned off, and it's nearing the end of the week. The people of Salvation are cut off from the outside world and are running low on ale and other necessities. The abandoned train was looted the night before we find our players helping out in Salvation Outpost.
Boklo helped with cooking at a make shift relief kitchen in The Salvation Hotel. There he learned that plenty of people knew about a message station under the Rail Shed with a direct line to the House Orien enclave in Passage. Norah d'Sivis supposedly sponsored the construction so she could also hide her Aurum wealth there. The shed's been looted, and anything left unexplored might be because it's too unsafe.
Cosmo Drop tried to get some food at The Tin-Pot Tavern but witnessed a man shouting about running out of beer that threw a rock through the window as he stormed off. The barkeep shared some insight as well: The lightning rail station had 3 caretakers who haven't been seen since the mourning.
Pascale d'Orien asked Mother Jahanah if she knew why the rail had been turned off and learned: Norah d’Sivis had manifested an aberrant mark, she built the underground message station to take refuge and hide from the authorities.
A scavenger in Vathirond walked back to Salvation and let the party know the magewrights guild for the rail station had launched a labor strike to demand better pay and working conditions, halting lightning rail transport to Salvation Outpost.
The elemental engine of the train also threatened to wreak havoc as soon as unbound if the lightning rail wasn't turned back on.
Inspecting the train the party found a malfunctioning Tickets Please Construct which attacked before Pascale d'Orien could show off his Mark of Passage.
Rigaldo de la Rosa found and opened the door to the underground bunker, but didn't see that it was trapped, taking a flame spout to the face. A tricky ladder trap was also waiting for the party but Pascale saw that first.
There was a dining room and kitchen containing no metal and lots of rust monsters. The storage room was empty and the study had the 3 rail workers, now as ghasts.
Eventually the party found a secret door in the dining room, with a hallway to a bank vault style door and music coming from the other side. When the hatch was attempted to be opened it jammed and inside a woman cut the record and asked who was there? General Grevious almost made a gaff not threatening the revenant of Norah d'Sivis but backtracked to indicate he worked for the news and needed to tell people about the conditions in Salvation.
Pascale d'Orien also sent a message to the enclave and got power temporarily restored.
Up top the party found the lightning golem out of it's engine and with the power of the rail making it very strong, it attacked the party! The lightning rail was turned off when Pascale was trying to negotiate, as the enclave scried on the elemental to monitor the situation. Leaving the party to defend salvation yet again from a threat.
The party was victorious!

Welcome to Eberron!

Eberron embraces swashbuckling action and pulp adventure while adding a layer of noir intrigue. Daring heroes battle villains in high-stakes instances of over-the-top action, dealing with narrow escapes and ominous mysteries that threaten the world’s safety. But stories don’t always end well, villains sometimes succeed, and there isn’t a perfect answer to every problem. Magic is common, and weaved through everyday life. Blacksmiths use mending for minor repairs, Continual flame lamps light the streets, and bound elementals power lightning rails and airships. Magic is also harnessed for power, greed, and corruption. Eberron a world painted in shades of grey, where both heroes and villains come in all races, classes, shapes and sizes. It’s just as likely that the innkeeping gnome next door is an evil assassin and the tribal orc in the swamp is a holy druidic guardian. A metallic dragon is just as likely as a red one to fall under evil’s influence and a coven of hags brings more stability to a region, instead of chaos. Not even religion is black and white: the gods don’t manifest physically, and wielding divine magic to keep evil at bay requires faith in the unseen.

The Last War

The Last War ravaged the continent of Khorvaire, turned allies into enemies and destroyed an entire nation. It began when the once-unified kingdom of Galifar split into The Five Nations, eventually spawning a bitter struggle for continental control. It was a century marked by shifting alliances, and periods of cold-war stalemates and intense battles and death. The grueling conflict left deep scars on the land and the people, but was nothing compared to The Mourning. The nation of Cyre was suddenly hit by a holocaust of grey fog and twisted magic. The mist spread quickly until it stopped exactly at the edge of the Cryan border. More than a million died in that single Day of Mourning. No one knows what caused the mourning, or how to stop it from happening again; Fear brought the nations to the negotiating table and a treaty was finally signed. Two years have passed, the peace is tenuous, and the continent is more divided than before the war. Although many celebrated the end of the war, there was no winner and control of the continent is still unsettled. People optimistically refer to it as “The Last War”, but distrust between nations continues to rise and most believe that it’s only a matter of time until conflict begins again. Meanwhile, refugees from the defunct Cyre are without a home, and the war’s end has left the Warforged (sentient metal humanoids created for war) without a purpose. While others struggle to survive, the Dragonmarked dynasties emerged from the war even stronger, more powerful than any nation. Through it all, the forces of good struggle to contain the forces of evil that threaten to break its chains.
