Roll Models D&D

Our heroes arrived in the city Dustmere as desert worn hunter-scavengers and come to leave it as some of the only people in the Empire who know what truly happened to Crowned Duke Debiles and Duke Gaspar at the Desert Masquerade. But the Dukes' plot extended beyond the sand clotted cobbles of Dustmere.

The Disciple lives on, seeking the breaking of the One Thousand Seals. In their last desert night before taking a ship to Delnori, our heroes drank on the roof of their favourite inn, while Jacks and Caxaria ran to the Temple of Geish to marry.

But that night was not all loving oaths. A message for Freya came on the wing of a Kondor. Her Sister warned of a coming threat, a portent uttered years prior by Ora's body when he was pulled from the Edge before being resurrected.

"The Anchor rusts in the depths of the Edge, yet he holds unmoving and unbroken. The Hollow One's curséd body lies obliterated, but his disciple lives. The great seals are crumbling… He shall rise again. The Unbeing shall rise again."

Eugene continued to struggle with his actions at the Desert Masquerade, confiding in Ahmaya and Moxie over cactus wine coolers, and discussing alchemy, their pasts and their uncertain futures.

Helping Ora, Freya dove into the nexus world with her strange relic the God's lantern, a sphere of pearl made from the accreted faith at the core of a flux storm in the desert. She sought answers of Ora's origins from a god shunned from the Pantheon, Amaan, The Conquerer of Death.

She was faced by an apparition, a servant of Amaan, who she made a deal with: coilshards (or a soul) for information, and it taunted her about the dark secrets of her beloved Chorus. Tempting her to open her letter of faith that must always remain sealed…

In the wake of the Desert Masquerade 'Massacre', our heroes came together to plan their next steps. With the two dukes involved in ascending someone to semi-godhood now dead, our heroes' attentions were on the dukes' mysterious patron: The Disciple.

The Disciple's goals were unknown, past the breaking of the One Thousand Seals to uncover something. However, things were now simpler for our heroes: they were no longer welcome in Dustmere, with Jacks' and Moxie's brother Julien aware they were alive, he would likely throw the full force of the syndicate into hunting them down.

Not only that, Ora remained wanted by an unknown organisation, and Freya was keen to continue her search for her lost sister, Ersa. It seemed that Delnori, the largest port city south of the Capital was their best bet.

In deciding this, they took to the rooftops. And, while Jacks and Caxaria stole themselves away to the temple district to marry, the rest of the group looked out over their last Dustmere sunset for one last time. But in the dim purple light of Geish, the dusk moon, a huge alabaster and silver bird dove toward them.

It was a kondor, one of the intelligent and highly secure messenger birds of the rich… it delivered a message to Freya, from Ersa. She was a part of a secret organisation. She was scared, Juness (supposedly both sisters' god), could not reach Freya, and she had urgent information about a rising threat. That threat came in the form of words uttered by Ora's body when he was pulled from the Edge years ago, before he was resurrected...

After the chaos of the desert masquerade where many threads of the Dustmere conspiracy converged, our heroes escaped the Debiles estate with a handful of valuable coilshards and their lives.

Crowned duke Debiles had been transformed into a malnourished Graven, and duke Gaspar, the man behind his transformation, was killed at the hand of his master, "the Disciple", who arrived by a rent in space.

The Disciple's purpose was, seemingly, to "kill a god" and "break a seal". But at the masquerade, and as they had done once before in the Cragmore, our heroes got their first. They slew the semi-ascended Debiles and earned a warning from the Disciple before he left.

As the dust settled, our heroes returned to Caxaria's hideout to lick their wounds, both physically and psychological, and to attempt to knit together some of the ragged strips of information they had collected.

But just as it had when the Disciple was approaching the ball, Ahmaya's sword began singing like drawn steel. And as it had once before, a tiny bird made from accreted leaf and fibre and wood-chip manifested before her eyes… And this time, it spoke.

Our heroes found themselves following the threads of a conspiracy in the cobbled, desert streets of Dustmere.

In their exploration of the tombs in the desert, they knew the coilstones were more than jewels, and power sources for shardwork machines; they had power, and there was evidence of an old magic in the city that could be used to harness it.

Dukes were plotting, the crime syndicate in turmoil, a cult making moves, and they all seemed to converge on the Ball to celebrate the return of Crowned Duke Debiles.

At the ball, Debiles was tricked – turned into a malnourished demi-god at the hands of another duke and Julien, leader of the Syndicate. But their own leader approached, his purpose was to kill this new god for his own esoteric reasons.

But our heroes got there first, slaying the monstrous creature before this "Disciple" could arrive. And arrive he did. Disappointed, he killed the duke who failed him and he left with a warning to our heroes.

Our heroes scrambled together, quickly looking for more evidence… and other things, before guards descend on the estate. While Sentinel walked the midnight streets, reeling from the events of the Ball…

Our heroes arrived in Dustmere as Hunter scavengers who stumbled into a duke's plot to find the last Graven God in the Glass Desert – and they ended up killing it.

They quickly took up jobs that only tangled themselves further into the conspiracies of the cobbled, desert City. Duke Gaspar and Crowned Duke Debiles were plotting to make something, or someone, more than mortal, using old, forgotten magics and hordes of coilstones.

To complicate matters further, the crime Syndicate and a cult of some kind were both involved.

Finally, our heroes attended the Masquerade Ball, some with tickets, others as cooks, maids or guards. They aimed to find out as much information as possible, to confirm their suspicions… and hopefully have a lovely old time while they were at it.

But seemingly to his surprise, Crowned Duke Debiles was transformed into a horrific creature by a giant coilstone gifted to him by duke Gaspar. Cult wizards left from the crowd and fired spells, cutting through guests, and our heroes fought to bring down both them and the Debiles-creature.

But Duke Gaspar had sent for his master… the Disciple "it is done," he said, "but hurry, the creature is under attack."

And just as our heroes felled the creature, the Disciple arrived. With a thin, gauntleted hand the Disciple sliced through space and stepped into the settling chaos of the ball.

He was a tall, gaunt man in a long, cream coat and skin that marbled like unfurling smoke. He spoke to Gaspar with a painful intake of breath "I see you have been successful… to a degree."

Collusion and trickery has darkened the sandy, cobbled streets of Dustmere. Duke Gaspar was hoarding coilstones, the magic crystals of unknown origin, and seemed to be involved with the Crowned Duke of Dustmere, Debiles.

The Syndicate, the crime families, and Moxie and Sentinel's origins, were also involved with the dukes. Namely Moxie and Sentinel's "V family" now under the dictatorship of Moxies twin brother Julien.

And lastly, a cult of some kind plotted. White-robed people with an unknown motive.

From research and findings in old tomes, our heroes believe someone is attempting to raise-up Debiles into something more than mortal… a new Graven maybe. And all threads seem to be converging on a masquerade ball seemingly to celebrate the return of Crowned Duke Debiles.

At the ball, our heroes spied, gained intel on possible relationships between dukes and Syndicate… but something else was happening… Gaspar handed Debiles a gift… a giant coilstone that shimmered with opalescent potential.

It violently consumed him, turning Debiles into a tower of black and gold glass. The party erupted into chaos and white robed individuals began casting. Our heroes dove into the fray, cutting through these cultists. Then a horror erupted from the glass chrysalis, Debiles elongated in bone, blood, and molten gold.

Gaspar snapped a sending stick and uttered one, short sentence "It is done, but it is under attack, you must arrive as soon as possible, master…"

After following a conspiracy of hoarded coilstones, a mysterious cult and a struggle for divine power involving Duke Gaspar and Crowned Duke Debiles, our heroes descended on a ball being thrown to celebrate Debiles return to Dustmere. They believed if one of the Dukes were to make a move, it would be here.

Sentinel and Freya obtained official tickets, while Ahmaya, Eugene, Moxie and Ora claimed jobs at the ball.

As cooks to the domineering Chef Rorrigon, Eugene and Ahmaya channelled skills from their past and impressed. As an even Guard, Ora patrolled, reuniting with Clayton who had also taken the offer of work. And Moxie somewhat embraced the role of scullery maid, flitting down scullery corridors between walls and spying on guests.

The ball, themed after ancient mysteries, was in full swing, but it didn't take long for things to sour. Among the guests were a number of poor, worshippers of Debiles, a recent fixation caused by an illusion spell our heroes dealt with… but it had taken root in the city.

Our heroes believed something was imminent, so they manoeuvred to intervene, but Gaspar stood before the crowed and gave a speech… and then a gift to Crowned Duke Debiles… a giant coilstone.

Candles flashed like lime-lights before snuffing out, and the crystal reacted to Debiles in a violent eruption of crystal and glass growths. In a screaming moment, he was replaced by a glimmering totem of black glass…

Our heroes were finally preparing for the ball at the Debiles' estate. A masquerade thrown by duke Gaspar – their old employer in their hunter-scavenging trek into the desert – to celebrate the return of the duke of Dustmere: Crowned Duke Debiles.

But our heroes' conspiracy board has grown... and it seems duke Gaspar has many irons in the fire. He has been collecting coilstones, shards of an unknown composition worth immeasurable value. Our heroes found one of Gaspar's lost ships stranded and survived attempts to burn it, aboard was evidence that pointed to some kind of a ritual.

But there are other parties at play; a cult has been in the city and stole a tome titled "The Blood of Apotheosis", their presences was also on the ritual ship of Gaspar's.

Many threads of intent are tangling in Dustmere, our heroes have cut through some and followed others... to the ancient mystery themed masquerade. Freya and Sentinel entered the ball as guests in their dress and suit, and began mingling, they saw the dukes, and Sentinel and Moxie's brother, Julien the new dictatorial leader of their family and the Crime Syndicate of Dustmere.

Eugene and Ahmaya joined the kitchens where they impressed Chef Rorrigon with their culinary prowess, and Moxie dove into the scullery corridors between the walls, working as a maid. It was in one of these corridors that her missing uncle, Baptiste, grabbed her. One of the obsidian chokers they've seen on cultists and enslaved about his neck. He tells her the necklace holds hostage to Julien, and that Moxie must flee the city and seek out a man called Zapes in Delnori.

Something else runs through the ball, a sinister uneasiness, perhaps thanks to the tacky candles and faked symbols of ancient magic. But the masquerade has only just begun…

The Day of the masquerade ball to celebrate the return of Crowned Duke Debiles is upon us. After a few weeks of wading into Noble and crime syndicate plots, and days of planning — getting tickets and cover jobs at the ball — our heroes completed their final preparations.

Ora discovered the strange, shattered sword he was carrying when he was resurrected appears to have been made broken, and its metallic attributes strange. Sentinel confronted Cax about her hiding the true ruin that her brother Julian had wreaked in the Grande. Eugene and Freya visited the alchemy guild, where Eugene finally crafted the elixir to awaken the Enriver's Lexicon, and they succeeded.

The Lexicon, a strange artifice-defying cube, flickered to life and disintegrated into a cloud of particles, under-lit by the projected secrets of the blueprint Eugene had inserted into it. It showed them the blueprint of Eugenes strange crossbow, within it was a map of the entangled worlds, and within that was a map of this very continent, Hazarli, showing points of glimmering light. A voice streamed into Eugenes mind explaining to him that these points are likely caches similar to the one the Lexicon was found in.

Reuniting, our heroes set out their finals plans. Their priority: to gather evidence that supported their belief that Gaspar was involved in collecting coilstones, possibly to ascend himself to godhood. They were ready to go into the Glitters, to the Debiles estate… to the desert Masquerade…

Our heroes have only been in Dustmere a matter of weeks, but they have been busy. Returning as hunter scavengers the debt was wiped by Duke Gaspar for their services, then they plunged into work… and tangled themselves with a conspiracy of power.

Forces were at work, and their aims were far from good, and our heroes believed their old friend Gaspar was among those at the core.

That morning, after Ahmaya and Eugene prepared some alchemically crafted candied sending stones in the inn's kitchen, the group was attacked by three men in flowing cloaks of beige that shifted colour. A brutal fight ensued and was only stopped when one of the assassins, Jago, recognised Moxie.

Jago convinced the other assassins that the group were Syndicate, and it's against their code to kill other members. He revealed that they had been hired by Julien to kill a group responsible for destroying an asset in the tunnels beneath the city. They also knew that Julien didn't know moxie and Sentinel were in this group, and that he paid the contract with noble money.

Furthermore, the Wakefields had identified a third party, a cult of some kind. He warned our heroes that they are in the middle of dangerous groups. But the ball was approaching where many of these people will be attending, and our heroes can't pass up an opportunity like that.
