d4 Adventures

The party gives Arsen a makeover in attempts to disguise his royal heritage, leaving him with a fantastic cut and very questionable colour. With support from the loving Brillia, Kos faced her demons as the adventures reunited the body of Lord Harrock Hillguard with his grieving family. The return of their fathers body brought up questions of entitlement for Lord Hillgaurd’s three children and our adventures bonded and shared secrets over fine dwarven liquor. The party were prepared to pay their respects at Lord Hillguard’s funeral but were instead confronted with a missing corpse and a very shocked congregation.

We are a Dungeons and Dragons 5e actual play focussed on roleplay over combat. Dive into Season Two, and join the team as they head into the treacherous North to find the survivors of the Massacre of Asgarth. linktr.ee/darknessanddragons

Dragging themselves out of the chaos from their royal assassination, Verity, Elly and Ariana are in mourning. Reclaiming her title, Princess Verity faces her need to repent for the murders in her past. Elly leaves behind the man she loves to find what remains of her people, long thinking them dead. Ariana struggles with what it means to be both Penny and Anisha, as her mind merges with that of a villager she was unable to save. 

They are joined by new allies, Lenore, Taabi and Brilia. Lenore, a follower of the Raven Queen, finds herself drawn to helping these lost young women, but holds secrets that may change the meaning of magic. Taabi, a nomad who will do anything to survive, also seeks the secrets of the dead.  Brilia, a former housewife turned adventurer who learned her warlock abilities to protect her partner, Kos.

After returning Kos to her home and girlfriend, Brillia, the party sets in for a relaxing night only to be interrupted by a devastated Kos escaping from the house to meet her death like a warrior. The group, joined by Brillia, head out in search of Kos before she can get herself killed. Lenore and Verity talk redemption and why the raven queen might have brought them together. Tabbi entrusts his dinner to Ariana and Arsen and a party member makes a sweet and surprising exit.

Verity and Arson get 'engaged', Elly’s love interest provides a final farewell, and Ariana’s multi-class is revealed.

Ryan, Elly and Ariana stood together against the Emperor and Empress of Caraquette in a final showdown to seize power from the corrupt rulers.

The siege of Carquette starts with a bang, literally, as Ariana and Tiffania set a series of bombs throughout the city to distract the guards while Elly and Ben advance the main troops across the frozen lake to take the Capital City by surprise. Meanwhile, Ryan sneaks into the castle to talk with Raf and Atlas in the hopes that they will assist in the final fight, when the team starts against the Emperor and Empress

Ryan, Elly and Ariana sat down with their war counsel to devise the perfect plan to kill the Emperor, Empress and perhaps, their old friend and the Crown Prince, Atlas. Armed with potions, spells, rituals, weapons and a good-old-fashioned drive for justice, the team breaks up to attack the castle from three fronts, only to meet with a series of obstacles dispatched by the Caraquette guards.
