Dorks at Disadvantage

The Conclusion of the Descent Into Mirefen Campaign! Milroy wakes from his near-death experience and wonders whether his interaction with Targun was all a dream. Upon the group's arrival back at Shigguk village, Oltex is taken into custody and delivered to the high chancellor of Karah am Saar to answer for her crimes. Sha Kalthes spots the second sigil on Milroy's chest and thinks Milroy is posing as the subject of a centuries old prophecy: the one marked by two gods shall stand against Cyugatha. After Milroy explains his "dream" of meeting with Targun on the celestial plane, Sha Kalthes suggests seeking the other two members of the Jade Three. Scylla-Mae promises to help Milroy see his quest through to the end. Sha Kalthes orders the sober-by-force Brand to accompany them in their travels.

While Sha Kalthes keeps Oltex busy with diplomatic negotiations, Scylla-Mae, Milroy, and a very hung over Brand make their way to the ruins. After dispatching of 2 Toadfolk hunters, they head inside and begin the search for the Bloodstone.

After an altercation with one of Nelgux's creations, Scylla-Mae and Milroy arrive in Mirefen. Sha Kalthes tries to negotiate with Oltex, priestess of the Drhnu, for the Bloodstone but the effort is futile. After being shown their quarters by Nelgux, rage begins to overtake Milroy. What history do these two have? Once alone, Sha Kalthes states that the Drhnu must be stopped at all costs and the Bloodstone retrieved. Scylla says she will do all she can to assist. Milroy Agrees provided that Nelgux's fate is left in his hands...

Jennifer and Austin begin a new adventure...with new characters!!! This is the first episode of the campaign Descent Into Mirefen by Managerie Press. Devout Merfolk Scylla-Mae Mossrock arrives in Karah am-Saar on the way to visit her Cousin (named Fiancée) and her Fiancée (Named Cousin) when she overhears a loud drunk talking about a a caravan heading to Mirefen. She inquires further and, along with a Tortle named Milroy Horatio Favreaux, finds herself employed as an escort. It seems their employer (and perhaps Milroy) may be after something other than a friendly visit...

Horace Saltblood says he has one more job for Hew and Tall Robert: retrieve his ancestor's ring from from a cave on Mudfort Island known as Whalebone Hollow. If they are successful, he promises a parting gift. While the map is not exact, it gives a general location where Saltblood's Locker may be. Hew and TR will need luck (and some help from Jarl) to get through this one!
