Prologue: With Friends like These?​

[Me, your Dungeon Master] - Narration

It's mid Setanda (this world's September), the town of Saballi is lively as usual. Though many are a bit on edge with the recent hell knight activity in the far north, most seem to believe their town will stand to see another day. In the center of town there is a broken fountain, as dry as the stone it is made of. Surrounding the fountain are a number of merchant stalls, and what seems to be a merchant's cart. North of the fountain is the Bouncing Boar Tavern, to the north-east is a temple of Graphtier with a stature that's seen better days, to the east is the residential district, The Sleepy Bear inn is to the south, The Docs is to the south east, The town entrance to the south-west, and various stores and shops are to the west. The time is mid-morning and the population is mixed with all sorts of races.

Little does this town know, that it's going to receive some strange (and rather out of place), visitors.

[TyranntX]

[Narration]

With the party now on board the ship, the Captain along with Dexterous take one last moment to make sure everyone is accounted for before Dex gives out an order in Draconic

"Release the sails and raise the the bow! Next stop, The Town of Birth!", he called out as the crew began to scatter about the ship and take their places as Dex gave out orders. And in just a few moments, the ship begins to slowly rise from the water! After about a few minutes the ship was airborne and started to pick up speed and move forward. Higher and higher and higher still the ship went, even the crew were starting to get excited for the voyage ahead (even if it was just to transport some people to the mainland). Next Stop, The Town of Birth!

Chapter 1: When Lightening Strikes
​

[Narration]

The ship has been airborne for 10 minutes now. and the Nameless Party finds them selves as welcomed passengers on aboard The Cloud Shark, the legendary ship of the Blue Sky pirates, however only Torky knows about the nature of this ship and its owner. High above the clouds, the crew and passengers could only do so much to pass the time before they reached their destination.

 

[TyranntX]

Nokomis looks around, still in utter shock at what was happening. Members of her party +she had been laughing with earlier were suddenly gone. In a numbed attempt to retaliate, Nokomis aimed her bow at the being that was attacking them.

Roll for attack with longbow:
1d20 + 4 = 18 1d8 +2

You missed Rotta, and he makes of an example out of you by Striking you down next with another bolt of lightening, you die as they did.

The underling Hell Knights make their move next, dropping out of combat and ransacking the town!

It's time for another legendary action from Rotta, as he summons a MASSIVE bolt of lightening about 200ft wide!

The remaining members of the party fade way in the flash of light...

Now Playing ♪ ~ Time of Dying​

[Narration]

And thus, the Nameless party has fallen. Struck down by the very foe the vowed to defeat, a foe that will now once again bring hate and death to the world as he did 5,000 years ago. Though their time together was brief, the memories they had will live on in the afterlife. Waiting for the day for the next to begin, and maybe one day take back the world from evil. But now they die, fading into the black nothingness. Though they have no body, they can feel the cold grip around them. Though they cannot see, the can tell they are no more. Though they cannot feel, they know they are in shame. They had failed, simple as that. And they cannot do a thing about it. Those who survived the thunderous fury of Rotta will likely be imprisoned, enslaved, or worse killed. The Hell Knights are more than likely to revel in the carnage that is to ensue.

( D. Rex ) Troyk, you almost lost yourself to savagery. Nearly fell into the insanity that you fear so much, though even if you had given in to your primal urges, would it had made a difference? Would you really be able to take on a beast that even gods fear? A troop of soldiers with powers unlike those of typical mortal men? Oh Troyk... you of the Bend river pirates had your crew brutally slaughtered right in front of you. And now the same people of a different faction as taken your life too. And what of Evora? It seems she met the same grizzly fate as well. You were once feared all over the Great Bog, now you may never regain you lost infamy, you will never know vengeance of your fallen allies, you will never know redemption. No, instead you will rot in the street, the same streets you promised to meet someone for an exchange… but now not even that will be realized.

( Ilikepie ) Shalia, you set off to find your sister after not seeing her in years. But it seems that will be a reunion that can only be made in the afterlife. You never did get a handle on your magic, nor did you ever surpass your sister. You, will never see her again. You will never know her embrace, or the embrace of others ever again. It would seem that even the test of life, is something you have failed at. So here you will be, struck down dead by a monster of the likes the world has never seen since 5000 years ago. To make matters worse, you will never know real love… only a fling or two with a hand full of women you have met along the way. Maybe in the afterlife, you will find the love you are looking for... and maybe even your sister too.

( Sherwood ) Beorin, in a few moments you will be with Gagail. But will the King of gods really welcome you into his kingdom? When you failed to protect the innocent? When you have killed innocent? This could have been your chance to redeem yourself, and you blew it. If you do rise to heaven, it will not be out of glory… No, it will be out of pity. Pity that you have been slain by a foe even the ascended could not hope to defeat. You may be allowed to walk before the light of the father of gods, but that does not mean you deserve it for how you came to be there. Nor will it mean you will be seen and honored as a hero.

( Psychie ) Athaclenna, you too will be joined by your god very soon. But you too feel ashamed that you could not protect the innocent from Rotta’s wrathful storm. You pray to a goddess of life and birth, and you failed to preserve both in this encounter. Though you did have a vision of adventure, you could not foresee your own demise. Death will take either way, drag you to the heavens if need be. And there you can hope to heal the scars of your shame.

( Felis ) Diella, in the end it was indeed a storm to bring your life to its end. But not a storm of rain, but of demonic lightening. Nature could not save you from this horror, and you will never return to the sands of your homeland. You set off to learn more about the world, but sadly you perished before you could learn the secrets it held. Live is never easy, and Nature is never fair, but this? This is Cruel even for fate.

( Pumpkin Spice Cyanide ) Evora, you likely had the least fair life out of anyone here to die. You were born a slave, and you died a slave. All you wanted to do is do your master proud, but even then you flunked your every task at every turn. Maybe next time, if there is a next life, you will be given a better chance to succeed. But for now, you belong here, in the blackness of death. Letting its cold grip bind all around you. It would seem that only in death, have you found freedom.

( Equusheart ) Nokomis, you never did get the chance to meet your father… and now you never will. As a half-breed, you were always seen as different. Too Human to be an elf, but too Elven to be human. Your ambitious, whatever they would be, will never see light. You are dead now, but at least you too will be joined by Saiama. You can rest in her garden and know peace, maybe in death you will meet your father? But now, the time to die is upon you.

( DuckPrince ) Kalvienne, you too will never know the embrace of love... But not of a woman, but of a man. You will not see your owl again, and you will never know what the rest of the world be like, And what of your brother? You hardly got the chance to know them! And now you never will. So you too will simply fall to the black, forgotten to time and lost to history. And you will never know if Xai the Destroyer will eve accept you into the afterlife. Even if you only let him into your heart sardonically.

( Chuckles ) ( FactionParadox ) ( ShadSmithGayDemon ) Hopsek, Romana, Phanto, your adventure ended before it could even begin! But that still did not stop you from trying to do good, however it did not matter either way… you still died… and now the hell knights will continue their rampage.

As your bodies fall deeper and deeper into the nothingness of death. something halts you... ceases your decent, as if catching you. and a glimmer of light shines off above you. A Voice speaks out. "Your time does not have to end here, children... Come... Rise to my light... Show us that you are not ready to die today." It echoes through the deadness, as you slowly start to be lifted to the light! then the darkness sets back in, but you can feel the weight of your body again! The cold is gone, you can breathe, you can feel, you can hear! but it's still dark? like you are asleep... and you hear more voices... is that? Cheering?

Chapter 2 : Ascend
​

[Narration]

The nameless party has been restored, yet they lay seemingly unconscious on the ground in a mysterious and unknown place. Though the sounds of voices seems to be waking them up, maybe? (anyone who would like to, make a CON save to wake up)
