Roll Models D&D: Episode 47 – The Chasm Town Mystery

We've partnered with Dice Legion to bring you 10% off all purchases with the code RollModels10 - happy shopping!

RECAP TIME:

Our heroes had returned to Delnori, the chasm city on the west coast and found home, and were preparing for the next phase of their adventure.

Xethir would likely return soon, and with the Surgepyres under his control, he planed to resurrect his otherworldly god with the power of an interdimensional surge that happens every thousand-or-so years… and the clock had run down.

They had discovered two contracts for work, the first from the Empire’s Apotheos district, which our heroes identified as the very same mission for the Piece of Terror. Leaving them with a decision: to either take the job and find out who in the Apotheos is working for Xethir, or to find the shard in competition with whoever takes the job.

In the last couple of days before they flee the city, our heroes spent much needed time with those they loved… and those they hoped to love. As well as cook their socks off creating a fine dining menu of deserts for the Chasm Chronicle’s harshest critic…

But, there was a spy within the cliffs and sneaking along the rooftops. And Freya awoke to find them looking at her through her window.

RECAP TIME:

Preparing for the next leg of their journey in Delnori, our heroes took stock.

Xethir was defeated, but he would likely return in a different plane of the Entanglement. With the surgepyre towers, he plans to resurrect his otherworldly god, harnessing the power of an interdimensional surge of Evraen due every thousand-or-so years… and the clock has run down. 

Our heroe’s know the location of one Piece of Terror – a shard of the dead god’s heartstone – and so Delnori may not host them for long. But there are other factors at play. Their budding business venture in Delnori, the mystery of Duke Lucard and his connection to both Freya and Eugene, and the secretive Zapes, possible necromantic mentor for Moxie. 

And to make matters more complicated, the Curator calls once more from his demi-plane abode. And his news is not good… there are two contracts or work out on the Collectors network. The first from the Empire’s Apotheos district, which our heroes identified as the very mission for the Piece of Terror they will soon embark on. Leaving them with a decision: to either take the job and find out who in the Apotheos is working for Xethir, or to find the shard in competition with whoever takes the job.

The second contract was a bounty for Ahmaya…

With the world spinning about them, our heroes work to tie up loose ends in Delnori – and spending some much needed time with friends, family… and more.

RECAP TIME:

With their adventure at sea behind them, our heroes have returned to Delnori to prepare for the next leg of their journey.

Xethir plots to resurrect his otherworldly god, the creature behind the Great Unbinding many thousands of years ago. With the surgepyre towers, he will harness an interdimensional surge of Evraen, due every thousand-or-so years, to forge a new heartstone vessel from remnant fragments… and the clock has run down. 

They know the location of one Piece of Terror, and so Delnori may not host them for long. But there are other factors at play. Their budding business venture in Delnori, the mystery of Duke Lucard and his connection to both Freya and Eugene, and the secretive Zapes, possible necromantic mentor for Moxie.

RECAP TIME:

After arriving back in the chasm city of Delnori, aftershocks of the events in the Seal Sanctum still lingered: the nemesis, Xethir will return. 

The Tyrlaar disciple has recognised them, knows them well, and when he has collected the pieces of Terror, he will harness a coming surge of Evraen – the inter-world tides of magic – and forge the pieces into a new Heartstone for the Unbeing.

Our heroes know the location of one Piece of Terror thanks to Detrius’s brief connection with Xethir, and so Delnori may not host them for long before they make haste. But there are other factors at play. Their budding business venture in Delnori, the mystery of Duke Lucard and his connection to both Freya and Eugene, and the secretive Zapes, possible necromantic mentor for Moxie.

But first, they delve back into city and family live, if albeit briefly. Already splashing out with gold from the expedition, buying gifts and new tools. But all is not well in the empire…

We are back!!!

Welcome back to Roll Models D&D for the very first episode of 2024...

We've partnered with Dice Legion to bring you 10% off all purchases with the code RollModels10 - happy shopping!

RECAP TIME:

It’s a new year and, for our heroes, a new adventure. After a farewell with Ora, they return home to Delnori aboard the Oddmium Trist, the once pirate ship now under their command and led by their friend, Detrius Cabal.

The aftershocks of the events in the Seal Sanctum ring out and they leave a worrying resound: Xethir will return. Their Tyrlaar nemesis has recognised them, knows them well, and when he has collected the pieces of Terror, he will harness a coming surge of Evraen – the inter-world tides of magic – and forge the pieces into a new Heartstone for the Unbeing.

Our heroes know the location of one Piece of Terror thanks to Detrius’s brief connection with Xethir, and so Delnori may not host them for long before they make haste. But there are other factors at play. Their budding business venture in Delnori, the mystery of Duke Lucard and his connection to both Freya and Eugene, and the secretive Zapes, possible necromantic mentor for Moxie.

But first, they have friends and family to catch up with, plans to make, conspiracies to plot, spoils to spend, and fresh dramas in the chasm city to delve into…

RECAP TIME:

After tracking down the two drowned tombs beneath the broken sea, our heroes begin the long sail back to Delnori. But not without a repercussion… or revelation.

When their nemesis, Xethir finally showed himself to be impersonating Detrius within the seal sanctum, he killed the captain before our heroes could defeat him.

Discovering the real Detrius hidden and unconscious on the ship, Sentinel and Freya nursed him back to health. He then revealed he had gained knowledge from his horrific connection with Xethir, that once Xethir controlled enough of the Surgepyres, he would harness the coming magical surge to forge a vessel for his god, Terranin, the Unbeing, using fragments of his shattered heartstone: the pieces of terror.

Meanwhile, Moxie was aware someone was scrying on them, and soon found out their identity Meredith Vollant, Associate Guild Master of the Whispered Word, and she wanted aboard.

Ora was also dealing with repercussions from the seal sanctum: the Mark of a cloak moth had appeared on his wrist. And although Freya had removed it, Ora was visited by an apparition of Morduram, Death, and offered a terrible choice: to seize the power of the Moth Coin in exchange for cutting himself off from his deity, Enthor. 

Enthor proposed something else. The ascendant powers in the Entanglement were rising, Ora must reject the apparition and Enthor once more in the Edge…

RECAP TIME:

On an adventure with the pirates of the Oddmium Trist, out in the Broken Sea, our heroes searched for the two hidden chambers that were remnants of the drowned city of Zarlumai. Their quarry, the Seal Sanctum, where behind a great door laid divine treasures. Finally finding the Seal Sanctum, first Mate Detrius reveal himself as Xethir, nemesis and herald of the Malignant Domain, hidden by a powerful spell like true polymorph.

Although our heroes succeeded in preventing him from him from claiming what lay beyond the great seal, but it wasn’t without injury or loss; the captain of the Oddmium Trist was dead.

Beyond the seal, they found a burrowing, a tunnel world between two planes, and deep within was a great tower of glass, a legendary surgepyre built to harness a once in a millennia surge through the magical tides that flowed between worlds. Next to the tower was a hideout carved into the rock where they found a teleportation circle all for themselves.

Back on the ship, they broke the news to the crew about the Captain and Detrius, but it wasn’t long before they found the real Detrius, hidden below deck and near death. 

After Freya and Sentinel nursed Detrius back to health, he revealed he had gained knowledge from his horrific connection with Xethir, that his plan extended beyond seizing the surgepyres. Once Xethir controlled enough of the towers, he would harness the coming surge to forge a vessel for his god, Terranin, the Unbeing, using pieces of his shattered heartstone: the pieces of terror.

Meanwhile, Freya and Ora attempted to remove a curse that had appeared on Ora’s arm, a cloak moth, an omen of Morduram, Death.

RECAP TIME:

Finding the final location on the ancient map of the drowned city, our heroes found themselves in a demi plane of ash. There they were chaperoned through a strange mansion by Leralith, the reforged memory of the sorcerer who once created this place, and they discovered the Seal Sanctum was beneath them in a prison called the King’s Hold.

Our heroes delved through the Kings hold, facing reanimated horrors and puzzles. But through they went. Finally in the Seal Sanctum, First Mate Detrius opened the great sealed door with the bloodkey and revealed himself as Xethir, hidden by a spell like true polymorph, nemesis and herald of the Malignant Domain. 

Although they succeeded in preventing him from him from claiming what lay beyond the great seal, it wasn’t without injury or loss. The captain of the Oddmium Trist was dead.

But beyond the seal, they found a burrowing, a tunnel world that linked two planes, and deep within was a great tower of glass, a legendary surgepyre built to harness a once in a millennia Maelstrom. Next to the tower was a strange hideout carved into the rock where they found more secrets of this place, and claimed a hideout with a teleportation circle all for themselves.

Careful to ensure the place was hidden from  Xethir permanently, they collapsed the tunnels of the Kings Hold, and made their escape back to the ship to deliver the news to the crew that both their captain and first mate were no longer with them.

Our heroes delved through the Kings hold, facing reanimated horrors, puzzles and twin obelisks that consumed spells. But through they went. Finally in the Seal Sanctum, Detrius opened the great sealed door, and revealed himself, hidden by a spell like true polymorph: he was Xethir. Nemesis, and herald of the Malignant Domain. 

Our heroes fought furiously, Xethir summoned a giant horror from the malignant domain. They fought to kill Xethir before the great sealed door opened fully. To stop him from claiming what lay beyond.

They succeeded, but not without injury and loss. The captain was dead. But as everyone rested and communed with their gods, Ahmaya saw something in the depths of the borrowing beyond the seal… A great glass tower before a nebula of stars.
