Created Content
Following your weak-long encounter with some strange nightmare cult and subsequent thwarting of a small gang known as the Rock Snakes, you all set out into the jungles of Southern Necius to aid Eri on a pilgrimage known as Helm’s walk. The dangerous feat of strength that you found out had killed two of the four in Eri’s previous party proved to be nearly as treacherous for you all. Along the journey, however, you were aided by a Tortle on her own pilgrimage named Menengegus, and tribe of Firbolgs called the Odd Paws, who were able to provide some insight on your dream situation. In exchange you all helped defend them from a sea spawn ambush, and in helping Menegegus found the source of these creatures. A polluted atoll off the coast of the peninsula, inhabited by two sea hag sisters bent on adding every travler, helmite, Odd Paw, or otherwise to their mutant sea spawn army. After discovering a long lost Helmite named Minas Grumbo, you defeated the hags in an intense battle, and through some ambiguous means and a giant crab were sent back to the shores of Nescius, and Helm’s hold itself.
There you all met Nils, a patient of the sanatorium, who showed you all to Rockwell Clement, a man connected to Rig’s disappearance who was interested previously in E4. Now insane, Brogg peered into the mans nightmares to get answers, were you all found that he was Coastguard, but hired by a mysterious third party to kidnap Rig. Rockwell was found out by his Coastguard superior, Detlev Bronk, who ordered him to continue the mission, only to scoop Rig out from under him as you were all trapped in your own nightmares, before Rockwell could himself. Here you uncovered that the third party Rockwell had took the job seemed to be the same cult you were dealing with a the time, who sent Rockwell into a nightmare-fueled “initiation” leading to his insanity. Miraculously, Rockwell awoke seemingly sane, though unwilling to cooperate. You all ascertained as much as you could before, Rockwell freaked out triggering E4 with some code word, causing E4 to stab Rockwell to death, and run into the woods. Needless to say, you all had a lot to explain in the Citadel, where you tried to revive Rockwell, but ultimately failing to do so. You then spoke with the Supreme Watcher who tasked you all with finding E4 and returning him to the Citadel and answered a few of your questions regarding the gods/dreams/the citadel/etc. Eri you took your oath of devotion as a paladin, and were promoted to Watchknight.
Upon returning to Behemith, you hired three new employees to the Crack Rack, a old gnome named Mammy, a scantily-clad teifling named Marrali, and a Fabio-ass lookin Elf-goliath named Zaunoth. You also encountered an ambitious human elf-elf named Sal who had seen you all before at the Iron Civis meeting, and is interested joining you all on your bar and adventure exploits, even donating a cool thou (which he claims is all of his money) to the cause. With the help of Gunkshed, you all accelerated bar renovations, and began to plan a grand opening celebration for the Crack Rack. You all had Sal and Nils also revisit the “pawn shop” and tentatively set up a meeting with Detlev, next Hellsen. Lastly, you all mapped the tunnels under the Crack Rack finding a series of dog crevasses which you fill in as well you can, a caved in tunnel near the bar that appears to lead somewhere and smell of decaying plant matter, an abandoned sewage system that may lead to several domiciles or otherwise, and the largely decayed body of who you believe is louie pots [Though they would’ve seen him after seeing the footsteps the first time].
In the weeks leading up to the grand opening of the Crack Rack, Brogg and Sal recruited a few fighters including Bonestealer and merchants as entertainment other content for the day, Tem worked on a permanent alarm spell for the Crack Rack, Eri had an foreboding meeting with a Mortach of Kelemvor, Vel wandered into the mines of Fos Aon looking for the Rat king, and Nilhs met up with some old contacts about a new job.
