Hook

Enter the Darklands; Session 1 - The Last Redoubt [Darklands, GM Plane]

Plot Synopsis

After leaving the giant cyclops alone, the party trudged on through the Darklands, passing a large black tower of obsidian. Nearby, a giant frog-like creature 300 feet in height sat staring at the black pyramid far away. The being was determined to be both alive and moving, simply moving slower than any mortal could perceive in a given time frame. Raik shot it in the eye, at which point he felt something begin to slowly start consuming his soul.

Mercy beam-ported the rest of party to safety by the pyramid. She and Cairja spoke to a watchman, called a Monstruwacan, at the top of the pyramid. He let them into an elevator that took them near the pyramid's bottom, where they met with the Master Monstruwacan.

The Master Monstruwacan told them of their land, the Last Rebout, how the monsters out there cannot say their Master Word, and how being in the land long enough mutates ones’ own soul and spirit. He told of the history of the land, how the gods abandoned them many millennia ago, and how they are slated only for destruction.

The party all got temporary jobs whilst here. The Master Monstruwacan promised to give the party adventuring jobs, to prove themselves and to further assist where they can.
