Donjon Play by Post - Abbatur

About

This is the Wiki page for the Play by Post game of Donjon starring Cerulean Lion, JohnU, ldd23, and Omar. The setting for the game was generated via the following questions, answered by the players:

• What is the name of the city you live in?

  Abbatar, or Abbatur. Somewhere along the line I forgot how it was first suggested and started spelling it with a U. Any preference? Or people can say it both ways..

• What is known about the ancient ruins it was built over?

  Four layers of ruined cities, three of them inhabited by men, and one by something else. At least one of the ancient cities was smashed by the gods after the city's inhabitants offended them.

• What ancient evil still lurks in the catacombs beneath the city?

  A lich, who is the last of the inhabitants of the first city. And the debased remnants of an ancient non-human civilization.

• What problem is facing the city that requires adventurers to delve into the catacombs?

  It started with the ever-present problem of greed. Adventurers, it seems, can never have enough loot. A legendary hero led an archaeological expedition into the ruins and awoke something that should have remained buried. The newly awoken lich needs virgins to regain his power. Young women have been disappearing in the night recently, dragged off by bands of the undead.

• Who has already been lost in the catacombs trying to solve the problem?

  A company of the city's army, and two powerful wizards. One of these wizards was a sick bastard with a price on his head. He may have gone into the catacombs to try and steal the lich's power instead of helping his victims. The legendary hero who caused all this mess has also not been seen since his expedition began.
