Story Synopsis:
|
Three unlikely adventurers, members of a mercenary guild called the
“Broken Arrow”, take a mission to assist a wizard in the investigation of an
inert portal discovered below his keep. Upon its activation the portal draws
the three through it and they find themselves in Myth Drannor, nearly 100
years in the past.
After dealing with a Drow uprising near a temple to Lathander, the group
begins a trek to Waterdeep, in hopes of finding a wizard strong enough to
help them return back home. During this time they pick up 2 more
compatriots.
During their trek, they meet a young wizard named Blackcloak, and
disrupt his dastardly plans. However, in a turn of events, they are brought
back from the past and summarily killed by an insane and horrifically
powerful Halaster Blackcloak. Upon their death they find themselves caught
in his soul trap and to escape they must collect the Mournblades, one for
each element.
They rescue them, and escape to the frozen north of Toril. In their
travels they come across a plain controlled by the Red Tiger clan of
barbarians and it is discovered that one of their own is destined to control
the Black Lion clan of barbarians. They are able to fend of an attack from
the most powerful members of the Red Tigers, but unfortunately their entire
village is destroyed in an explosion.
Characters:
Keth Delkoos – Half-Orc Monk – Kirk
Keth was the de-facto leader of the team. Heir to the Black Lion Clan,
he wasn't charismatic, but was often thrust into leadership positions by
way of the rest of the party being either too inept or impulsive to
properly lead. Keth became mayor of the village until it was destroyed.
Ed Bryant – Elf Druid – Edgar
Ed was somewhat evil, but not evil enough, and generally self-centered,
looking out for number one. He eventually contracted lycanthropy and
illigitimately fathered a werewolf son.
Neap Thornsquatter – Kobold Rogue/Paladin – Qleppy
Neap was chosen by Silvanus to be his warrior, despite being a small,
skittish, and relatively shady kobold. Neap became the paragon of
kobold paladinhood, magically knocked up Cora through no action of his
own, and married her.
Nyther Darker – Half-Drow Bard – Cooper
Nyther was blackish, handsome, and dumb as a rock. But he got away
with it because, as mentioned, he was handsome. He was picked up by
the party in the past, and ended up getting drunkenly married to Lily.
Lily Brandybuck – Halfling Sorceress/Wizard Gestalt Wild Mage – Luna
Lily was angry, and beautiful, with a penchant for letting her curiosity,
or her temper, get her into trouble. She lost her hand to a bag of
devouring, and ended up attaching a demon's hand, which gained
sentience. Lily was drunkenly married to Nyther, and had five children
by him, thanks to the wonder that is wild magic-affected fertility.
Cora Took – Halfling Rogue – Wil
Cora loved the shadows, and was good at hiding in them and killing from
them. Cousins with Lily, she joined the party to put her assassin's skills
to work, and have a good time. Was magically impregnated with Neap's
children by Silvanus, and married him shortly before giving birth to
triplets.
Juriko – Cat Hengeyoukai Sohei – Liz
Juriko was quiet, and focused, but had a wicked mischevious streak to
her. With Ebony's help, she tattooed wedding rings onto Lily and Nyther
and had them married, for laughs. She often served as a mount for
Cora in animal form.
Ebony – Human Cleric of Tempus – Kait
Ebony loved to fight, drink, and party. She loved to play pranks on
people, and with Juriko's help, married Lily and Nyther. Her reaction to
most problems was to smash it, so, of course, she fit right in nicely.
