Rising Danger
A strange flood had started crushing the settlements and farms at the southern tip of the Drakar River delta, causing concern, that spread to alarm as the rising waves broke and crushed the town of
Hailfin.
Seeing the refugees entering the northern towns, a team was sent from the guildhall to see what was causing the issues.
A group stomping through the mud suddenly appeared, making haste to the effected area.
The High Elf, Kae Bella, the ranger, was trying to keep their pants clean, and suddenly heard a sound of something in the bushes nearby.
With a crash and tumble, the large Mountain Dwarf Paladin, Tung crashed through the bushes, tumbling and tackling the elf into the mud.
As they stood, the voice of Kae Bella echoed around the forest, screaming profanities at Tung.
They heard another sound, and turning around, a monster rose up from the mangroves!
As it approached, parts of it fell off, and it turned out to be three Guildmembers who had become stuck together in the mud!
Foghorn the Leghorn, an Aarakocra Fighter resembling a large rooster, Scuffy the Malkin Monk, and Eldora, the High Elf Barbarian all sat in the mud nearby, cleaning themselves.
Then, as the party was righting themselves, Herb the Earth Genasi Paladin, and Imerril the Warlock strode into the area, walking atop the mud with ease.
Moving forward, the group met Rin and made their way down to the town of Hailfin.
As the town came into view, it was sitting in ruins, washed out by the seas.
They party found lizard like fish folk at the edge of town and were attacked by a group of them, slashing and biting viciously at each of them from the muddy waters.
The group banded together and eventually felled the beasts, finding that they were once people! the inhabitants of Hailfin, corrupted and changed!
They moved forward further towards the center of the town and as they moved through, the ruins, the trees and stone themselves rose up to attack the group, powered by the green radiance!
The group focused on the woody foes, and eventually burned them down and forced a path through.
As they moved into deeper waters, a great elemental beast, a Drowning Devil rose up and tried to send them all bubbling to the deeps of the waters without air in their lungs.
They battled fiercely against it, and blasted it with their weapons and spells, eventually felling the beast.
They made their way to the middle of the town, and found the Black Merfolk, sitting amongst giant lily pads in a primordial sea garden, directing her minions to plant strange orbs all around under the waters, as these orbs began to grow vines and roots over everything.
They confronted the merfolk, and eventually bested her, the Dark infected soul leaving her body, full of hate, to curse them and Rin and fight another day.
The Heroes had to flee, ahead of the great growing corrupted mass ahead of them, and as they left the area, officers of the Ivory Buroplazia and the Guildhall, moved in to secure the area!
The danger is not over!
Something is coming soon!
