Slipping Through to a New World
Anselma gots a shock and might need a bit of help from the rest of the team.
Plot points/Scenes
The team are doing their thing and Anselma finds out that an agent of Dassem Luqman has just slipped through to her homeworld of Wynsomeheord. She needs to prevent that.
Two of Luqman's servants have recently slipped into the old grove and opened the portal through to Wynsomeheord. These vampires are carrying a small spellbook each. Both contain the same spells to raisethe dead, both to be used to corrupt the dead in Anselma's world.
The treant that watches the grove had felt them pass and sends the word out to get help & track them down. Both vampires have a little damage due to the grove's effect, and both are hiding in the forest near the portal on the other side to try to stop anyone not of the Children to come through. After a while they plan to start corrupting the forest on the other side and raise any dead if they kill anyone, or find the relevant corpses.
A few dead have been raised including crawling claws, skeletons & zombies. Chances are they have got their hands on a couple of knights from the surrounding empires and raised them as skeletal knights.
The team needs to work out where they are hiding in the forest and killing both while bringing anything through that might contaminate Wynsomeheord. They will also find that these are linked to the Children of the Nazarene. A disturbing development is there is a mention in the spellbooks to an eastern realm in Wynsomeheord called the Badlands. They seem to have picked up this information from Luqman and they were to send a message there to an unknown group of followers of a 'Fallen Star'. This 'Fallen Star' is hinted that it is a powerful enitity thrown out of the heavens to the planetside. This region as well has a number of evil creatures driven out of other lands and all that is known is that it is a region of rocky mountainous lands with a desert in the centre. Little life is found there and known for its heat, lack of fresh food & water, and bandits & the like in the mountains.
A further story they may herar is that a large lump of yellowy see-through material crashed into the middle of the region in eons past combining with a strange stony material buried in the ground. The whole region pushed up the mountains & created the desert. In the centre of it all is the crater of wher eit landed. Stories state that a citadel has been built in this crater with three large towers in the middle of the citadel. Black smoke and flames are seen in the city that surrounds the citadel, and it looks as if it populated by humanoids of some type wearing dark armour and wielding wickted looking weapons. Who these are nobody knows. It is a highly dangerous region due to the environment & the inhabitants of the city is hostile to all other.
Most of the peoples near the mountains believe that it is a site of pure evil, and all the evils in the world can be traced to here in some form or fashion.
What they do after this is up to them.
