Last Updated: June 7, 2026 — After Act 5, Session 2 (Crash Landing)
Current Party¶
| Character | Ancestry | Class/Archetype | Key Traits | Relic/Connection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ludwig | Giant | Guardian | Philosophical warrior, cursed survivor, bad luck streak, wise | Bonded with Argentyx's egg. Transformed into giant-dragon hybrid. Allfather's Chosen. Receives visions and memories of Argentyx and Frostfather. Currently: heavily wounded, harpoon cables in wings. |
| Dee | Ribbit (Frogfolk) | Bard | Comic relief with hidden depth, banjo player, laid-back jokester | Champion of Bardic Magic, holder of Vexalis' Conductors baton (godly relic). Deep connections to nature and fae. |
| Bane | Infernis | Sorcerer | Cunning anti-hero, reluctant leader, fiend-touched appearance. Initially freed self of father's hold (stole infernal contract) | Child of Asmodeus. Confronted Asmodeus and gained his Archdevil powers. Active bounty on head. Brand/burn scar flared during flight. |
| Shadow | Aetheris | Assassin | Dangerous wildcard, morally ambiguous, appears human until golden hair/ethereal glow manifests | Agent of Corruption, holder of the Dagger of Sacrifice (relic possessed by the corruption). Former Black Hand assassin. Contract was to kill Bane. Dagger recognized Black Hand operatives. Was frightened at kajuit. |
| Nyx | Faerie | Rogue | Secretly bound to Asmodeus | Stole her own infernal contract during Hell heist. Taken from her bed during Battle of the Bards arc. Current status unknown (player on hiatus) |
Current Location¶
Just offshore of Rindle Island — 100 meters from the coast, in a stolen fishing boat. The Houten Stad (Wooden City) looms ahead: a multi-layered wooden city built into the hillside. Almost entirely dark. No visible activity. The party is approaching from the water.
Current Status¶
Party survived the beach combat with Captain De Stormvanger and her wyvern — both killed after Bane+Ludwig+Shadow combo attacks. Dee banished the captain temporarily; upon return she found her wyvern dead and the party finished her. No interrogation possible. Explored an abandoned fishing village: found a journal (Dee), a woman kept alive by Corruption (died when Ludwig's shout expelled the purple mist), Corruption in a water well (Shadow saw a purple galaxy-like swirl, broke control), and echoes of a lost musician (Dee attempted but failed to connect). No shortcuts or info gained — party sailed on. Now 100m from Rindle Island.
Session History — Act 5¶
| Session | Chapter | Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | 5: Storm Chasers | May 27, 2026 | Departure from World Tree. Relic reactions during flight. Dee's anti-magic tunnel through Corruption storm. Air ambush by Corsair skiffs. Shadow slaughtered pirates, Dee controlled captain, Bane threw wyvern+captain into storm clouds. Shadow's kajuit moment (frightened by operative/Lady). Crash landing on island beach. |
| S2 | 5: Crash Landing | June 7, 2026 | Beach combat vs Stormvanger + wyvern. Dee banished captain (cowbell realm). Bane+Ludwig+Shadow combo killed wyvern. Captain returned startled — party finished her. Both dead — no info gained. Explored abandoned fishing village: journal found, Corruption-possessed woman died when Ludwig shouted (purple mist expelled), Corruption galaxy in well (Shadow only), lost musician unreachable. No shortcuts found. Sailed to Rindle Island — 100m offshore. Dark silent wooden city ahead. |
Current Objective¶
Make landfall on Rindle Island. The Houten Stad is dark and silent — figure out what happened. Find the Hall. Locate Tekas (Luna's diplomatic letter was sent ahead). Confront Emma. Learn to harness godly powers. Immediate questions: Is Tekas here? Where is everyone? What does Dee's journal reveal?
Active Threats¶
- The Corruption (primary) — Spreading throughout the world. Visible in Rindle Archipelago (purple-tinged flora, silent wildlife).
- Emma — Main "champion" of the corruption, tangible antagonist.
- Black Hand Operations — Shadow's former employer. Presence on Rindle Island confirmed (whispers heard during flight). "The Lady" may be present.
- The Silence on Rindle — The Houten Stad should be bustling. It's dark. Almost no lights. No visible movement. Something happened here.
Key Mysteries¶
Resolved¶
- Quinn's true nature (Seraphina/merged)
- What happened to Ancients (killed by Corruption)
- Party's destiny (bring balance)
Open¶
- Who placed bounty on Bane and why? Active — captain referenced "de duivelszoon"
- What is Nyxara hiding about her contract?
- How far has Emma fallen to the Domination Necklace?
- Tekas's allegiance (wildcard, possibly corrupted)
- What is the Black Hand's current role in the Corruption?
- NEW: Who is "The Lady"? — Shadow believes she was in the skiff's kajuit. Controls Black Hand operatives via corrupted weapons.
- NEW: Shadow's connection to other operatives — Operative in kajuit was frightened, under control — a mirror of what Shadow was (or could become). Shadow fought fully in sync with his dagger during the beach combat — no fear for the first time.
- NEW: What happened on Rindle? — The Houten Stad is dark and silent. Was it the Corruption? The Black Hand? Emma?
- NEW: The fishing village — Corruption in the water well (galaxy-like swirl, only Shadow saw it). A woman kept alive by Corruption (died when Ludwig's shout expelled it). A lost musician Dee couldn't reach. The journal — what does it say?
