    Default [3.5e Campaign] The Eternal Fire

    Spoiler: Dewport's Noticeboard
    Show

    Urgent Notice from the Royal Family

    Calling all those Able for a campaign on the Surface World



    An expedition has been ordered by the King. He has seen his citizens' plights- warmth and safety, to be exact- and he is electing to grant help. However, he needs YOU. Yes, you, to search the Surface World and save your City. Those few courageous and trained men and women who are up to the challenge, gather outside of the Castle on Sunday. You will be brought in and given more information. He requires at least five strong adventurers. The weak, untrained or timid need not apply. Your City needs you today.

    (At the bottom of the notice, King Kormale's signature as well as Dewport's flag is on it. Definitely legitimate, from what one could have seen.)


    You are all standing in front and 'outside' of the massive Castle of Dewport. For one reason or another, you have all volunteered and were told to gather there, and that someone would arrive shortly to take you into the castle proper. Strangely, there is only you four and nobody else. The massive, magical barrier of the Black Gate seems to ominously glow in the distance, the only way in and out for miles. It's getting awfully boring, though- you've all been waiting for a good ten minutes, perhaps for someone else- you just have a gut feeling someone will arrive. A tall, if slightly crooked, figure seems to glare out of the top floor's window, but unless someone can see that well, one probably couldn't make it out. Perhaps this is a good time to socialise? After all, you might be waiting for a while. Four wouldn't do, or so that notice on the board said. All you know is from hearsay- that it's going to be dangerous. After all, the Surface has always been declared as such.

    However, for one reason or another, you're all here right now. You also have your equipment, of course. The town seems to be getting quite busy, too, but there really isn't much to do and it's probably a bad idea to go traipsing around anyway. Wouldn't want to be late. Or later. There are a few people that pass by, but they seem to hurry along, not wanting to be noticed. There are a few guards, but they just seem quite stoic and quiet, watching over the city and barely paying any mind to you. However, one of them- a Human, dressed in half-plate and wearing a tabard with Dewport's flag on- gives your group a nod of recognition, then holds up an empty hand as if to signal to wait a few more minutes.

    What do you do?

    Uppon ariving at the castle gates, Rogan puts his sacks containing his tools and some spare iron down with a notable clunk. As it becomes clear he will have to wait some time, he places his heavy backpack down alongside his tools and takes a deep breath, before taking a look at his new comrades. A young Human, an Elf and a Gnome, the later two armed with bows and wearing armor somewhat similar to his own. The human on the other hand had a shield and some old and dented, but well polished armor, armed with... A stick? A strange weapon of choise - if he had a choise in that matter, that is.

    Greetings he mumbles after a short pause.
    You are also here to volunteer for the campaign on the Surface World?

    Finnaly, the chance to explore the caverns and perhaps the surface, to go beyond what many haven't seen in generations. The thrill of it, the path opening in front and the possibility to contribute to knowledge and lore long lost...

    He is sitting on Pearl, his mule, waiting and observing. A human, dressed as an improvised fighter, approaches and asks him a question.

    Inside his head Bichat goes through all maner of answers. but he only speaks a dull:

    yes

    isn't it obvious?

    Gregory was impatient, this was evidenced by how he'd been bounding up and down on his heels almost the moment he'd arrived, and evidenced further still by how he'd been swinging about a stick for the past two hours against the endless imagined legions of terrible foes.

    Pausing, the boy with dented well-polished armor, who'd been waving around a stick, looks around, jumping up to see the speaker over Bichat's head. Glad for a distraction from the boredom of waiting, the youth circles around. "Yes sir! It's like a dream it is! Just think of all the adventure!" Enthusiastic the youth punctuates the sentence by swinging his blade at an imagined enemy. "All the monsters to slay!" Again he slays an imagined monster. "...and all the people we'll save!" Again the boy slays an imagined monster before... er... "sheathing" his stick in a small loop at the end of his belt.

    Oh well, this gnome does not seem to be of the talkative type..

    Rogan simply gives the gnome a nod of recognition, than sets his attention at the young human. A smal smile appears on his face, he definitly was eager to go out and experience an adventure, fighting evil monsters and rescuing poor surface dwellers in need.

    I hope your dreams will come true, he replies, while thinking to himself 'and not evolve into a nightmare'

    I'm Rogan. And don't call me sir, I don't think I am that much older than you are.

    "...and I'm Gtregory, Gregory Lionsheart." Gregory replies, without missing a beat, extending his hand to be shaken. Why it's certainly astounding there aren't more of us, isn't it?

    Rogan takes Gregorys Hand in a firm grip and replies "Oh well, not everybody is willing to take a risk and go to the upper world. And of those willing, some might not be fit for it."

    He looks around for a moment, than sights "We should hope someone else will be brave - and capable - enough to join us. Or our adventure might be over before it could realy begin"

    "You don't mean..." Gregory hastily unfolded the poster and read it again. "A minimum of five... you don't think... they wouldn't call it off just for that would they? I mean surely scores will arrive if only we wait..."

    "Who knows how those nobles think?" Rogan replies with a shrug. "But if we are lucky, they will find some more volunteers. They cant all be afraid of the surface... The city is too big"

    He pauses a moment to look around the suspiciously empty place. "I wonder if they already sent others home for being to weak, young or ill trained for the mission"

    Gregory gulped audibly. "You mean there could be an age and skill requirement too!?" Yeah, it probably had been too good to be true. Who would want a boy who hardly knew how to swing a stick, let alone a sword, as part of their elite expedition party? Disheartened he sank back into Bert's greasy fur. That was it, he'd have to go back and train, another ten years of practice, if he was lucky enough to get a job he might even get a job and be able to buy back his sword someday... Still, he wasn't going to leave without first seeing it through. Grimly he straightened his back in a failed attempt to make himself look more soldier-like, however the unnatural straightness of his back just made him look all the more anxious as he brooded.

    "So it says. But seeing there are so few of us here.. I think we still have a good chance... After all, somebody has to go and if there are so few volunteers, they simply can't afford to send us back"
    He takes himself some time to inspect Gregorys geer "And think of it... At least, you got some nice armor and shield in addition to an animal. Much better equiped than most simple man could afford. Your weapon might be simple, but hey... I do not have a fancy sword either"

    Rogan pauses another moment, than rummages around in his backpack for a moment till he gets hold of his handaxe.
    "If you want, you can take this for a moment. I thought a tool might come in handy, but it could also help you to look a bit better equiped and more dangerous. What do you think?"

    Gregory smiles, somewhat reassured by the man's praise, but shakes his head all the same. "No, an ax is not for me, axes make use of weight to fiercely hack, I prefer the moble balance of a swor-... er..." Gregory frowns down at his stick. "...a stick." he finishes with a note of humor.

    Rizet has debated the decision all morning. Finally, he decides. I'm earning money too slowly. Ana won't make it unless I can buy a magestove soon. His younger sister, always more frail than Riz, is sick again. So, he hugs his mother and father and kisses Ana on the cheek and hurries to the castle. Late. After hemming and hawing, I'm going to be late. The short human runs the last quarter mile, lest he miss the opportunity. His legs are shorter than every one of his friends, but after eighteen naming days, its safe to say, Riz is as tall as he'll get.

    Only four? Either he's missed it, or he's earlier than he thought. A hand smooths his wavy blonde hair, and he says, "I was sure I was going to be late. They haven't taken anyone in yet?"

    "Should we need to fight? You're a blacksmith aren't you? Why would you be forced to fight?" Gregory asks, befuddled by the hypothetical, but the new arrival quickly seizes his attention. "We don't know, they might have... but you know what? You're free to hang out and wait with the rest of us really adventurous adventurers over here while we wait and see if they've already picked someone else." The offer had sounded cool in his head, like the sort of thing a knight might say, but as the words left his mouth, the air felt a trifle more awkward, and he himself was feeling a trifle embarrassed. Why hadn't he just said it with his eyes and remained all stoic like the gnome?

    The crooked figure in the window seems to perk up just a bit as Rizet arrives and stays. The halfplate-wearing, Human guard would disappear down some stairs as the gate opens, along with one other guardsman. They're not wielding anything, of course, but they've obviously got weapons. They approach your group, and one of them speaks. "You're all here? Finally. Patience pays off.". Evidently, they're as impatient as all of you. One eyes Gregory for a moment, half-scoffing, before just regaining himself and beckoning them to follow. "Come on. Don't want to keep His Highness waiting." Assuming everyone follows, they'd be led inside the castle, the doors being opened quickly by two, presumably, servants. Inside the castle, it is lit by sunrods every so often- with humanity's new, adapted and enhanced vision for living underground, it seems they light more than they should normally. Regardless, they don't give off any warmth, leaving the castle with an eerie, chilling glow. Either way, each guard- two that are escorting you, right now- keeps at least one eye trained on your group at all times. Evidently, they're exercising just a bit more caution when inside the massive castle.

    Speaking of being inside the castle, the castle is, aside from being lit with sunrods, decorated quite well. It's definitely very fancy, probably a lot fancier than those from non-noble backgrounds would be used to. There's a lot of dark red around, and multiple copies of Dewport's flag are on the walls, apparently very well made. The room is, basically, a corridor. There are paths to the left and right, presumably up to guard towers, and a stairway to your northwest. The halfplate-guard pipes up again, after clearing his throat.

    "Ahem. Do note that this is your last chance to 'back out', so to say. If you're afraid or weak or have any other reasons, please, feel free to leave before meeting King Kormale." He looks over you all sternly and seriously. Evidently, if you want to leave, this'd be your last chance. This also might raise a few questions- they might not want people seeing their plans, or something like that. Why would they keep it so vague? Who knows.

    What do you do?

    Gregory manages to reign in his focus, staring, not at the walls, but rather keeping his eyes frontward as he walks, straight-backed, through the halls.

    Rogan exchanges a friendly nod with the new arrival, but allows Gregory to do the talking for the moment.

    As the guards let them in, he cant stop himself from admire the furniture. He did not live a poor live, but such luxury was more than he had ever seen. At least, he manages to keep the pace.

    Bichat follows the guard across the corrdidors. He has wide eyes and is filling his brain with all this information...

    as the guard finishes speaking he steps forward and just looks aat the door beyond.

    Riz looks back. His indecision creeping back into his mind. The surface is surely terrible and dangerous, but it frightens him less than Ana dying while he does nothing to try to help. Resolve found he squares his shoulders and nods at the guard. "I'm committed."

    Only FOUR were required, not five, due to Esprit dropping.


    The guard looks over you all solemnly, before nodding. He'd point behind you, signalling another guard to the back of your little group, before speaking once more. "Very well. You've all made your choices, then, and there's no going back from this point onwards. Move with me, and act respectful while in the King's presence." He'd lead you all up the stairs- there's quite a bit of stuff around here, including some royal-looking paintings, showing the line of Kings who have ruled Dewport for a century-and-a-half now. Goes back a while, even to the very first. Eventually, you all manage to climb to the top floor of the castle (perhaps the Gnome has some trouble) and you are lead into a room with three men and two women you do not recognise, wearing your typical wizard's robes of varying colours- with the Dewport insignia emblazoned on them- alongside King Kormale himself, wearing your typical royal... armour? as well as a flowing, dark red cloak. They are all, of course, Humans. The King takes a look at Bichat, tilting his head, before sighing. It'd have to do. He speaks roughly and affirmedly.

    Alright. This is it? No others? Good. Go, do your magic then we can begin. The guard shuts the door, and one of the robed men walks towards it and mutters something under his breath, laying a hand upon it. Once he finishes his 'spell', he'd walk back towards the group and place his hands behind his back. The king speaks up again. As you all know, I have called those brave, trained and adventurous enough here to solve a few... problems that the City has. I'm sure you can guess- heat. Heat is vital, and without it, none of those who can afford a way to generate it can and probably will die. Obviously, we can't use coal or wood for fires since, well, everyone saw what happened to Dryxhelm. So, we need something other than magic- even Wizards and Sorcerors age. Therefore, my Diviner has found a way to help us. To help -EVERYONE-. After all, I'm sure at least one of you has seen what this everlasting cold does to people. Ahem. Veirey, explain to them. He'd motion to the man in deep blue robes to step forward, and he'd do so with due haste. He's bald and looks quite old, and he speaks just a bit lighter than the King.

    Using my magic, I have found something that could save us from our plight. A tree. Enchanted one, magical one, I'm not sure, I couldn't look too deeply into it before it wore me out. Either way, this tree's fires burn forever, smokeless. A smokeless fuel if you will. Should we manage to get a garden, not unlike one that the Elves use, sorted under here, you could potentially take some of this tree's wood and seeds here for further study. A bit of creative spellcasting here, a bit of craftsmanship there, and it should be able to supply just about everyone in Dewport with free, smokeless heat for their fires. This is great for obvious reasons. Knowing the Surface World, the journey will be frought with peril, but according to my scrying, it shouldn't be TOO far- thought it is fairly so. Shouldn't take more than a few days to get there and get back. So, I hope you understand your job? Leave. Get to the Surface. Gather this tree's wood and seeds, as much as you can. Bring it back here. Save us all, get paid handsomely, be revered as heroes. Simple, right? So, any questions? We'll give whatever information we can. Please note that, while it will be dangerous... the journey will be worth it. I'm sure. He smiles encouragingly.

    Rogan quietly follows the guard to the king and his wizards.

    He bows respectfully, than stand strait and listens to the speech the king -and later his Diviner - gives.
    So, they are told to go out and seek a special kind of tree, so the city could get some firewood wich would not generate smoke and therfore was save to burn underground. A very usefull thing to have, indeed. It would solve so many problems the town curently has - if they can find a way to make the tree grow here, at least. And such knowledge could be vital in other regards too. New sources of food, for example.

    Rogan was excited, thinking about all those things that would change.
    Still, one question comes to his mind:

    "How are we supposed to find this tree, Sir? Are there any maps we could see, or landmarks you can tell us about?"

    Riz is shocked. I know that none of the poorer folks have magical heat, but I was sure that nobles had something. At first he is forlorn. What point is there in earning money to buy something which doesn't exist? Then the ramifications of the mission hit him. "Maps or directions would be most helpful."

    Bichat moves along easily, long strides for someone his height, he walks faster than the human on the medium armor, and far nimbler, his footsteps so light you can't hear him.

    Upon hearing the king and his diviner he ponders...

    silly humans, they only think in their short life spans, an elven wizard could keep the magic going for 4 generations of humans

    Instead he says:

    When will we be departing? With what sort of provisions?

    The Diviner looks upon the Gnome, half-smiling and answering him first. Why, you DO have your own armour and weaponry, correct? Except for, ah, him. He motions towards Gregory's stick. We are prepared to supply a week's worth of rations between each of you- food and water isn't really a problem- plus, young man, we'd give you a shortsword. We're not quite sure if there's even anything left up there, but that leads onto the other's question...

    So, they are told to go out and seek a special kind of tree, so the city could get some firewood wich would not generate smoke and therfore was save to burn underground. A very usefull thing to have, indeed. It would solve so many problems the town curently has - if they can find a way to make the tree grow here, at least. And such knowledge could be vital in other regards too. New sources of food, for example.

    Rogan was excited, thinking about all those things that would change.
    Still, one question comes to his mind:

    "How are we supposed to find this tree, Sir? Are there any maps we could see, or landmarks you can tell us about?"
    He turns towards Rogan. "From what I could see, it looked like ruins of a small, surface-town. Saw its name of 'Derville' on a sign in the visions. There were a few... green things there. Plants, I believe they're called, but they seemed to be moving around. Didn't see much more than that. After delving through a few tomes, though, I saw that it should be a good two days' travel north of here if you walk the entire way. We'll give you a device called a 'compass' that will let you determine north, south, east and west, if you wish- it'd be most helpful.

    Also, ah, I didn't quite get any of your names. It'd be rude to go delving through your minds for them, so, do you mind?
    He smiles, at least wanting to get to know them before potentially sending them to be killed on a dangerous world.

    'So, we will get some food and drink for the journey? Good, the rations I have are rather bland'
    A smal smile appears on his face, but it does not stop him from listening.

    "A small town called "Derville", about two days to the north..." he repeats, nodding. Not the best description, but it would have to do. The wizzard mentioning the compass makes him smile again. "This would be very helpful, indeed." he replys. Without this devise, he propably would get lost forever. But he would not take it, maybee one of his new friends would be better suited to take the lead.

    Suddently he blushes a bit.
    'Manners, Rogan.. Manners... How could you forgett to introduce yourself?' he silently rails against himself. Aloud he replys
    "I'm sorry, Sir... I'm Rogan, Rogan Smith. By name as well as profession, Sir"

    Deciding to press his luck Gregory tentatively counters "...a long sword?" making it sound more like a question then a negotiation demand.
    That mystical swirling of multicolored leaves as they dance in the air, that fresh fall smell, the perfect weather that makes you feel so very alive. You can almost forget that you're watching dead tissue accumulate as winter claims the world and floods it with the calming scent of death.

    Bichat, the name is Bichat...

    He attempts a reverence.

    I'm good with the bow. And keen of sight.
