Power Word Fail - D&D Actual Play

So say the Heroes of Mournstead. The Failures make an ambitious proposal to the Golden Council regarding Mournstead’s next ruler. A new arrival in the city brings news of the past and hope for the future. 

Let’s get the mob’s perspective. The Failures pay Pkelz’s family a visit to learn more about the candidates for the next king of Mournstead. Everyone’s favorite gnomish political operative has some secrets revealed. 

Lore! Confessions! Mournstead Toast!  Vilvanus’ stories about the good old adventuring days have surprising relevance to the present. Navara and Idalia bond, Pkelz and Miroz trauma dump, and Fyrric gets gloriously drunk. 

Always split the party. The Failures spread out in the city for an afternoon. Idalia and Pkelz do some shopping, Fyrric and Miroz have a heart to heart at the Black Rose, and Ambrose and Navara visit the Abernathy Estate.

Guess we’re politicians now. The Failures meet with the Golden Council to discuss the issue of succession. The candidates for the new ruler of Mournstead are presented, and the party is put on the spot to make a choice.

A night of respite. The Failures celebrate their victory and their sweet new home base by (accidentally) throwing a party. The political machinations of Mournstead’s elite don’t give them much time to rest. 

Confessions and funerals. The Failures spend an afternoon navigating their grief and guilt, uncovering some painful truths, and honoring those who fell at Zeos’ hands. 

What happens after. With their battle won, the Failures and the city of Mournstead have more questions than answers. The party returns to the Abernathy estate only to find a reminder that Zeos was not the only evil in the world. 

They crash around me… The prolonged battle with Zeos and his monsters reaches its deadly conclusion. Miracles and losses abound. 

Here's a war! The Failures’ showdown with Zeos at the royal court continues. When pushed to his breaking point, the tyrant of Northwatch proves even more dangerous than expected.
