The Siege of Darokin
by Aaron NowackA little while back, someone asked me for my Siege of Darokin adventure. Though I don't have near enough time to write up the whole thing, here is an outline of the adventure:
This all takes place in late 1006 AC, as the Master's forces are approaching Darokin City.
1. PCs must escort refugees by boat north to
Corunglain. Along the way, they will be ambushed by one of the
Master's wyvern riding mages and a war-party of orcs.
2. Various skirmishes with the Master's forces.
3. The Master's forces arrive at the city, encircling the western
side.
4. Get the PCs posted at the main western gates. Lots of fighting,
magical battles. Notable events include High Dervish Ismet (the
Hulean commander) raising all the dead to fight again.
5. Eventually the gates will be breached. orders will be to fall
back to the bridges over the Streel and fight a delaying
action.
6. The bridges get blown.
7. The Master crosses the Streel, besieging the east half of the
city after razing the western half.
8. The Huleans reveal a company of minotaurs, which easily
overwhelm the defenders on the wall
9. Street to street fighting. Climax on the steps of the Merchant's
Guild Hall fighting off minotaurs.
10. Relief forces from Alfheim, Selenica, Karameikos, Five shires
arrive, scattering the remnants of the Hulean forces.
