This week the adventure takes a dangerous and wild turn as the raging storm that started in the sea has made landfall and continues to rage across the land beyond. However, it does not act like other storms and has moved straight inland and towards a major city.
With a unprecedented disaster coming towards the party what can they hope to do? So let’s grab a coffee, read up on our nature books and let’s go storm chasing in tonight’s adventure!
As a massive storm system targets large cities the king has decreed a war against nature. However it not as easily done as said and the storm rages on despite the best effort of his court mages and clerics. Surely a broader call for aid not will produce heroes that can turn a blade even against the heavens themselves?
But as the call goes out the storm shows no sign in slowing down as it approaches Plentura, the great walled bastion. Will the adventurers, the heroes that have been called to point their blade towards the heavens themselves have a chance at cutting down the storm itself or will the real enemy show its face in time, something more tangible and mortal.
The Raging Storm
436MoRaSt
The wind was the first sign that something was wrong. A gale blue across the plains causing the stalks of wheat to bend and twist as the wind snatched at the grains and leaf. The animals moved hurriedly towards what ever shelters they could find, several retreating to the safety of the trees and some to the barns, stables and shelters that the humans had built for them.
However the wind pulled at the trees and lashed out at the structures that had been build upon the land. Thatching and tiles where ripped from the roof in a moment as the wind washed over them. But the wind merely heralded the true storm. The first of the hail stones hit upon stone, mountain and earth but their allies smashed through crop, trees and structure leaving a great rift of destruction that spread across the land.
In its path after the hail and rain had passed were the survivors and the wounded. The hail had reached the size of fists and had bludgeoned many to death as it had crashed through. Those who had sought shelter deeper in residence or mountains were spared the bludgeoning but the water rose quickly and they not had to worry about being to deep.
The wind had picked up again blowing the storm towards the capital, Plentura, and the raging storm was showing no signs of slowing down. Soon messengers of both beast and man were arriving in the capital and warning of the storm approaching. Word spread to the mad king of the plight of his subjects and in his wrath he declared war against the storm. Calling his knights, vassals and mages to go lay waste to the storm and to strike it down for defiling his country he truly expected to be sated.
However when the knights returned bruised and bludgeoned and the mages exhausted it seemed defeating natures judgement, this raging storm was going to be no task his mere subjects could hope to achieve. He sent out for word for adventurers needed for an urgent quest, a reward, ten thousand gold pieces for those who could slay the beast that was stalking his lands. Many arrived and quickly left unwilling or, more than likely, unable to take the job of besting the storm.
However there were a few who claimed they could do it.
A big one this week inspired by the current wild weather that my home state is going through at the moment. Turning a blade against nature never quite works well but this week we have stepped it up a notch to signal spring in for this month. So don’t forget to come back each day this week as we expand this adventure daily. And, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
