The Corvus Outpost

[Landion]

A recap of the events from last night for those who weren't able to attend:


- Dimmes reported on the last known area the scouting party was headed and introduced the templar commander Vittoria.

- The adventurers headed out to explore the eastern mountainsides north of Thaelsh

- They discovered a roadway hidden among the foothills of the eastern mountains north of the Stone Canyon entrance.

- Up the road they encountered attacks from creatures of the Nethrim and could see the towers of an outpost up the hillside.

- Arrows and fireballs rained down from the tower walls, pelting the group as they battled a few of the creatures.
(A bug was fixed in which hidden players were still being targeted by this.)

- The players were contacted by a warlock who called himself Sceptus Corvus.

- This warlock offered them power, and invited them to join him as recruits of the Corvus.

- The players refused(for now Bwahaha!) and stated they were looking for a scouting party which had come to the area previously.
(After an unfortunate delay due to another bug...)

- The adventurers sent in spies to assess the fortifications.

- Jaster was able to infiltrate the guards and began to explore the outpost.

- Sceptus then 'introduced' the group outside to what remained of the lost scouting party. Massive flesh golems, a necromancer and demonic imps made an all out assault upon the group.

- During the fray the Templar Commander Vittoria was killed along with her entire regiment.

- The remaining group was scattered for a time and forced to retreat.

- By this time Jaster had found his way into the crypts of the outpost, where he was approached by the warlock Sceptus who again tried to entice him with promises of power.

- Jaster refused (in his own way) and was attacked by Sceptus and wounded, leaving him to try to find his own way out of the crypts.

- Once outside Sceptus appeared to the group, taunting them and casting spells at a few. He warned them that if they did not join him or leave that they would be attacked again, this time by more powerful minions.

- Sceptus also took an interest in the fallen Vittoria, stating he would had special plans for her corpse.

- After much debate, and several smaller skirmishes, the group returned to Shadgard to report their findings to Dimmes and Sharinas.

A few notes about the Corvus Outpost:

- It has been set up as its own faction, and secure outpost of Nethrim in the area and will now appear on your Northern Lost Lands maps.

- Those who wish to hunt and practice in the area are welcome, but it should be recognized that this is meant to be much more difficult than an average hunting ground.

- And lastly, I hope you all still had fun, even though the adventurers didn't necessarily 'win' this round. There will be a lot more story to come with this area!

Thanks guys, I had a lot of fun with this so far.
