A summary of our D&D Campaign so far (Chapter 1: An Erection at Hogsback)
A group of travelers on a caravan (An Elf Ranger, An Elf Wizard, A Dwarven Fighter, A Halfling Rogue, A Human Cleric, and a Human Barbarian) get attacked by goblin bandits
Some of the carriages were damaged, so they need to push them to the nearest village for repairs, Hogsback.
While waiting for repairs, they go to Olā Bessieās Pub & Inn
The bartender has been waiting for some adventurers to get here because a weird tower keeps erecting itself at night on the cliffs by the sea, and one womanās baby has gone missing.
The group heads over to the tower and fights their way through some undead, figures out some traps, makes it through a maze, and run into a Drow Rogue climbing up the side of the tower (Insert New Party Member!)
The Dwarven Fighter knocks over a suit of armor and finds a blue-green sword
They reach the top of the tower to find a Sea Hag and a strange glass orb
They kill the sea hag and take the baby back
After returning the baby, and recovering at the inn, they meet a sorcerer who had been studying the tower for the last few months it had been appearing and tells the group of dimensional rips that lead to different elemental planes. These planes close when two artifacts, one belonging to that plane, and one belonging to the material plane, and brought together and through the rip. Pointing to the glass orb and the sword.
The group is then attacked by invisible hags (the sea hags sisters) inside of Olā Bessies
The Dwarf Fighter feels a surge of energy from the sword as it shifts into his weapon of choice, the Trident.
After their fight, the Sorcerer asks if he can research the eye orb while the others investigate the other potential rifts. Theoretically, they should be at the Northern, Eastern, and Southernmost points of the continent, as the Tower was on the Westernmost point
He adds that theyāll know for sure that there is a rip, due to out of the ordinary events (Such as a tower appearing only at night).
The innkeeper suggests that they should then go south to the Ashen Forest. It was originally called that due to the large amount of Ash Trees, however, the forest has been covered in ashes that are falling from the sky.
The innkeeper, knowing that this will probably be a dangerous quest that they are embarking upon as well as thanking them for saving his pub, reserves rooms for them all to store any extra items they have, and gives them a Stone of Teleportation. A one use item that will teleport the user and anyone touching them to the sigil in the Innās basement. There is only one, so they should use it with absolute certainty and caution.
The sorcerer also gives them Earrings of Farspeech, so that each of the party can communicate with each other withing 1 mile of each other.
With their gear packed away, A Ranger, A Wizard, A Fighter, A Cleric, a Barbarian, and Two Rogues head south to the Ashen Forest
