Campaign journal
by RPGPunditWith the PCs back in Darokin city (and Alen in Alfheim) they decided to spend their time in training this whole session, and constructing items, and basically getting an ungodly quantity of power-elevations.
Duroc came back, and Sir Firearm (the only one who had no weapon slots to train or magic items to build) spent nearly six months on a constant bender, getting drunk out of his mind, still depressed from having been energy drained the previous adventure, and further depressed when he found out that Sind had been retaken by the Master of Hule after the Darokinian army didn't fulfil its promise with Chandra and cross the border into Sind to push out the Master's forces.
"By thunder any country I liberate STAYS LIBERATED!" he declared.
A lot of the PCs were bothered by that turn of events, but at the moment there was nothing they could do about it. Alone, they lacked the power to take on the entire Hulean army, and they couldn't get Darokin to attack because the meteor strike had sent up clouds into the air that lingered for weeks, killing the entire crop and causing famine in the land; and the ash fall that followed seems to be affecting the trees of Alfheim, twisting and deforming them in some strange disease.
All was not bad news, however. After some initial setbacks, Corwyn's merchant company has started raking in some serious profit, enough that the whole party has started up a second merchant company that will travel all through the known world doing business.
Also, Alendalan finished all the training he could, now having access to some sixth and seventh level spells, and he petitioned the clanleader of the Grunalf clan for a hex to call his own, where he plans to build a dominion.
The PCs plan to go there next week to clear it out.
Also, Sir Firearm did finally manage to cheer up when he managed to buy a cool +5 shield of returning, and is now looking for some magic chain mail. He's taken to wearing a big A on his chest, inspired by Huleman's H, and is calling himself "Captain Avenger".
Anyways, that's it for today. More next week.
