Editing Asseasse:Adventures


== 2009-02 to 2009-04-07 ==
When Rowen came back from the new continent, he was shocked to find the balance of power had shifted too much. The evil religion had prospered from the destruction of Solace. With his new companions, Marvill, The blind Priest and The artist formerly known as 'Bard', he set out to find more information on what was going on. Upon arriving in Dao, he encounter his old friend, Grey. Grey explained that the western side of Zambie was fully controlled by Nythissyss, and that the eastern side was still too weak from the invasion to free it. Rowen asked about Kenelane, which he had not seen since the last run in the meteor crash site. Grey told him he went to the southern forest to cause mischief in the last outpost of solace, Bruno's keep. The four of them set out to find him. During their journey, they fell on a mining site where a monster was causing trouble with the local workers. In sum, they lost the blind priest due to a misunderstanding from his part, and after destroying the mine, they set out for Nelde. In Nelde they met with Albedo and his pet white tiger. He was waiting for Kenelane to meet him here, but Kenelane was 3 days late. Albedo told them of a strange case of disappearances happening in town, so they decided to investigate it. It turned out some Lycanthrope were kidnapping the locals. Luckily, Kenelane had been a prisoner there.

After some discussions about the local events, they set out to Bruno's Keep to forged an alliance with the lord of the keep. Being wanted, they had not problem getting in the keep trough the main door, asking for an audience and getting it. They explained that they wanted to strike at Nythissyss. The lord of the keep was confused, since all Rowen and Kenelane had done was strike at Solace for the past 5 years. Rowen told them he was seeking balance between good and evil, nature and civilization, nothing more. The lord of the keep told him if he could gather 100 men, he would join him in his quest.

Now that they had a clearer path, they went back to Dao and planned a raid on the Tower of Nythissyss located north-east of here. It was the only foothold they had on this side of Zambie, and it would give Rowen and his associate the opportunity to make a statement, and rally the land to their cause.

We gathered a little strike force and destroyed and set out to destroy the tower.

PC: Rowen - Archdruid, Kenelane - Thief, Albedo - Fighter/Thief, Marvill - Mage, The artist formerly known as 'Bard' - Mage

NPC: Saldrin (Grey) - Mage, The guild of blades - followers of Kenelane

Henchmen: 20 Pike men and 20 archers from Dao's militia, 4 thieves from the thief's guild of Dao

After 5 levels of hacking, slashing, undead cutting and guard mashing, we managed to kill a couple high clerics, found some good loot and lots of gold bars.

No loss on our side, except for the meat shields from Dao. Rowen struck the tower with lightning enough to weaken it, and then used all of his might to conjure a massive ivy, which enveloped and crushed to tower to rubble. More, it became a shrine of nature where the Tower stood. But something happened to Rowen, he was 'absorbed' by the land. No one seems to worry, for Nature will probably spit him back soon to allow him to continue his quest.

In short, no evil survived on this day, and nature has retook what was once hers. Surely the price on our heads has tripled. 

We paid the remaining militia men and told them to spread "THE WORD" to the villages of this side of Zambie. Soon enough, many will speak of the angry Archdruid who crumbled a tower, and of his associates who kept him alive that day... please.

With all the gold bars we found, we'll be able to fund our army and campaign. Once we've gathered all the men we can, and re-contact Bruno's Keep, we should be ready for one last step before striking the western side of Zambie: The Dwarves. They will be hard to convince, but we'll need their help.
