This week we have the party caught in transit – passing from one city to another and, not quite making it all the way through as they take refuge in the ruins of Krencham. Will they make it out alive or will the storm filled night be too much for them.
So hunker down, grab a drink and let’s survive tonight’s adventure!
The long war-torn lands of Manaeva are rife with conflict and sickness which was a result of the magical backlash of the spell that ended the great war. Those who scrape out a living in the haunted city have to make do with what they are able to find or salvage and are a stubborn and hardy folk. Or, like many of the residents of the city, they are too poor and desperate to be anywhere else.
But the people of this land are not helpless as there are organisations that wish to send them aid. Wagons filled with food, medicinal supplies and materials in which to rebuild their life – it just needs someone to transport them into the city and past the guards who do not appreciate the interference of the city.
A dark plot is afoot in this city and the cart of goods that the party are escorting into Manaeva is at the centre of it. Will they work it out in time or will their aid attempt end in disaster for all involved.
The Supply Run

Dozens of cloth wrapped crates were piled into the bag of the wagon in front of the party as K. handed them a few pouches of gold. “Now that’s half of what we owe you and a bit extra to cover any costs getting the medicinal supplies to Manaeva. My contact Honest James will be expecting you and will be able to give you the other half of the payment.” The woman known only as ‘K.’ smiled and despite the scarf wrapping around most of her head her face was visible, at least while addressing the party.
The party had come to Scute, a backwater down as they had heard of a business deal here that was nearly impossible to ignore, a large sum of gold for escorting a wagon into Manaeva. It was only after learning about Manaeva that the realisation of why the pay for a simple one or two days escorting a caravan of goods would pay so well.
Manaeva was the site of one of the largest magic-dominated battles that had happened in known history and the shattered lands absorbed a lot of residual magic. This magic has cursed many of the people that live on this land with a sickness which, until recently, didn’t have a cure. And that is where the party comes into it. The job is to muggle a wagon of this cure into the city, get it past the guards and distribute it to give the people a fighting chance. Or so K. said.
The current ruling power doesn’t want the people to be cured and has refused any help from outsiders. However the people need help and K. a member of the harpers is dedicated to helping these unfortunate people.
Thanks for joining me tonight for another night of adventure. Don’t forget to come back daily this week to stay up to date with the adventure and, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
