This campaign was created and run by [[User:Tim|Tim Wiley]] for the World of Sarrata. It was played in 2008-2009. It encompassed a time line parallel to the [[Forgotten Light]] Campaign; beginning during the Summer of 981 [[Lunidor]](LD). This campaign revolved around a group of social misfits and their experiences with the [[Othar]] [[Verdis]].

=Characters=
==Player Characters==
In many groups the characters all possess a similar quality, in the case of this group it was the inability to fit in normally. While no one was considered normal by any standards it should be noted that almost all the starting characters of this campaign were people that did not fit in with society and decided to adventure out.

[[Brent]] - The [[Ephrynn]] barbarian and later ranger who could be considered the leader of this cohort. Brent was a forthright, honest and strong person who was able to keep most of these people in line. Despite Brent's lack of mental faculties he actually was one of the wiser people in the party. His main motivation for traveling was to find his lost tribe and start a family as well. He did find a suitable partner and settled down and had children with her. Brent was the one that had started the idea of hunting Verdis. Montblanc nicknamed Brent "Dimples" because of the wide smile Brent possessed.

[[Montblanc]] The Bamboozler - the gnomish wizard who was a powerful as he was annoying. He served to be one of the brains of the party next to Loric. He was also undoubtedly one of the funniest people of the party. His motivation for travel was to find material for his new book. Despite the mischief he got into he was a well dependable member of the party when he wasn't drinking. This character was played by [[User:Helik4888]].

[[Loric]] - The Male psion on the run from [[Naltronia]]. A grandiose man with a grandiose plan. He believed it to be in his inherent nature to rule others and sought a means to do so. He was very much the planner of the party often giving counter points to any insane ideas everyone else came up with. At various points in the game though his own sanity was called into question as he was haunted by nightmares and tried hard to contain the power within him. In one instance he lost control of his power and "exploded" in a burst of psionic disintegrate. While he lost his life as well as the lives of others he was brought back to life. His power grew even more leading up to the battle of Barrier Hold. Where he was a key player in it, unfortunately he lost his life again to a Sun Soul and was not brought back. He was nicknamed Micky because he had big ears.

[[Nyle]] - the feisty druid whose catch phrase "I will turn you into a tree once I figure out how" became a defining feature of her. She was a young druid that traveled with her owl whom she never revealed its name. She made her own personal grove in the village of Rosewood, Mishar. She built it on a spring of Life Water which made it grow big and strong but also attracted some unwanted attention. A few blighters took interest in her grove but she defended it against them as well as traded with them. In the party she acted as the healer and eccentric source of common sense. Her strong will and can do attitude is what made her a valuable member of the party. Over the course of the campaign she connected with most of the party in a loving fashion. Her primary reason for hunting Verdis was that he was a threat to the natural world and must be stopped.

[[Ovak]] - The Pious Monk of [[Demüen]] whose possed strength equal to her devotion. Born a half orc she grew up in a monastery learning about the graces of the Lord of Flame. When she joined the party she seemed to be the most distant from it but eventually became a valuable soldier in the fight against Verdis. She was called Pots by Montblanc initially because she sounded like pots clanging together when she moved. He would later rename her to be Scarecrow because her brain was full of straw. Her main motivations for traveling was perfecting her self for Demüen. She would call upon his great power many times throughout the adventure.

[[Cyrus]]

[[Soveliss]]

[[Ivelios]] -The elf who always had an out, Ivelios was a elf of Tyr and a late addition to the party. He was looking for adventure and had been following the party for some time to see if they were "interesting" enough. He is a devout follower and past consort of the goddess of luck Marisse, which resulted in him always having a plan or an item to get out of trouble. He always understood the value of surprise which resulted in him actually hiding his identity with a magic headband so that he appeared human to those around him. For the second time in his life he used the gift of Marisse to have unnatural luck during the campaign which resulted in the Othar Verdis dropping the rune blade Bris, which Ivelios then picked up and caused to shatter by having the blade use it's soul cutting attack on Verdis, who had bound his soul inside the rune blade itself.
This resulted in Verdis being mortal once again and a killing blow was struck. Ivelios is still the wielder of Bris and is slowly learning about it while he once again earns back his luck.

=Synopsis of Plot=

====Rosewood====
The campaign starts out with our not so heroes getting off a caravan they were put in charge of protecting. They arrived in the small sleepy town of Rosewood, Mishar. Almost immediately the group gets the feeling something is not right with this town. They quickly find out rumors of the dead walking again and a local legend the kamricon haunts the woods. The group encounters many of these undead and quickly put an end to them. The group also makes friends with the local guard and the town gravekeeper. On one night the party makes a valiant stand against the mysterious monsters in the village graveyard. In one of the crypts several of the party members find a spring of life water and the Druid Nyle uses its power to make the plants grow. A paladin by the name of Glarion Unterspike shows up and says he will save the city from the plague of undead that haunts them. In one final battle the group tracks down several kamricon to a small cave outside of town and kill the beasts with the help of Unterspike. Upon inspection of the bodies they find a set of serial numbers. The town of Rosewood celebrates the slaying of the beasts and pays the heroes well. On the day of the celebration however a messenger from a city just north of their calls for heroes to help slay some ghosts.

====Hale====
The Heroes arrive in the city of Hale to find that the problem was taken care of by Glarion Unterspike when in actuality he was setting it free. Throughout investigation of the town strange occurrences had been happening, children missing, buildings being haunted and violent activity against the villagers. The party investigated many different places throughout the town trying to find out what was causing it. Indeed it appeared to be ghosts as unseen foes tried to both kill and talk with the party members. On the southeast side of town there was an abandoned mansion that Loric took interest in. He and Montblanc "met' of the ghosts their who turned out to be a confused entity that provided little information. In one of the haunted houses the group met a bit more coherent ghost that informed the party that they were experiments and now had lost their physical bodies. The ghost also informed the party that Verdis and a man called the Butcher were violent people who wanted something that was hidden in this town. Using a strange flower fond in the mansion the party got glimpses of the future and past. With this information Montblanc was able to locate a small locked box that contained a red crystal that had a heart beat. While most of the party investigated what was going on around town, Brent had different ideas. He found a women that he immediately took fancy too and wished to court. The party also encountered a person who looked just like Glarion Unterspike and claimed that he himself was Glarion Unterspike. Eventually events in the city caused the party to go to the abandoned mill south of town to confront Verdis and the Butcher and give them the crystal Montblanc found. However the party discovered the crystal was heart of a living city that once existed long ago. The party fought Verdis and the butcher but Verdis got away in the fray, leaving a trail of bodies as a message, tempting them to pursue him.

==Summary==

Abigor embodies the storm he was "born" in most of the time. His magic is almost always based on storm-like things. He also has a temper that is almost unmatched for the fury and destruction he can throw at whatever or whoever angered him. The thing Abigor treasures the most is his re-found humanity. When he was young he suffered great loss and started to grow distant from other people. The strange thing about him is that as he became more and more of an elemental he actually gained more and more of his humanity back due to the friends he found and the love he didn't know he could feel again. So even though his body is not even mortal anymore his soul is more human than it has been since he was a young child.

==Appearance==

Abigor has what would be considered noble looks. He is about <nowiki>5' 8'' </nowiki>and looks like he could be a prince if he was born to the right blood. His hair is a very strait dark brown and goes about a quarter-way down his back. He keeps it this long because he likes feeling the wind blow through it. He used to be clean shaven all the time but not that he has ascended he no longer has to worry about this. The most notable thing about abigor is his eyes however. When he is just being normal his eyes are a blue tinted grey, but when he is in a strong emotional state his eyes will show his elemental side. The whites of his eyes will have lightning flowing through them and his pupils will have a fire burning in them. When he gets angry this can make him quite intimidating. he is also known for being quite dexterous.

==Krosban Description==
<i>Destiny stirs plenty of feelings in a person. It is your fate, your path on the journey of life. How we make our choices along the way can set that path in stone. Ambries is the balance that controls our fate. Her scales are judgment and balance from spectrum to spectrum as the world, and most importantly people, change. I have heard it said that she is fair in all things, the most impartial of judges and the strictest of foes. You cannot foil her methods; only accept the paths you travel.</i>

==Portfolio==
Ambries is the balance of all things. Bearing the Scales of Balance and neutrality, she was the first god to step forth from the void. She is impartial in the way she handles events and peoples. Ambries can see both past and future, using each as a guide to make her decisions. In the event that the scales tip too far in one direction, the goddess tends to calmly wait for it to right itself. She appeals most to the patient and those who believe that times will change. When the goddess must take action to right the balance, it is done with much deliberation and is always well calculated. To push to far will cause the balance to swing recklessly, but to press too little may change nothing.

==Followers==
For the follower of Ambries, prayer and meditation is often the answer for finding what they seek. Asking the god to point them in the direction that best benefits the balance. For the outsider, a follower of Ambries is slow to take action, and their impartial judgments can be aggravating, for most often both parties in a situation will benefit. That impartiality is what sets the follower aside from the rest, and marks them as a bastion of truth and all that is fair.

Many of her followers typically hold seats of power as town mayors, judges, and even lawmen seeking to ensure that everyone receives a fair trial in life. They are often accused of being too harsh in punishments though. To them, stealing is still theft, even if it was meant to feed yourself or another who needed it. They lay down a judgment equal to the offense. Paladins of the goddess can be found filling the role of a judge within towns. While they are trained in combat, it is often questionable whose side the paladin will take until all of the evidence has been seen. Paladins who act without both sides of knowledge do not loose the favor of their goddess. When they find information that would implicate that the side they are fighting against is actually in the right, they will change sides.

==Appearance==
Ambries appears to those who seek her as a raven haired human female in her prime. Pictures depict her wearing simple red robes, golden rings stitched into the edges, with her hair hanging down over her shoulders. Those who have met the goddess claim that such artwork is very much wrong. They claim that she wears clothing that they have never seen before (much like our modern clothing rather than a medieval period. Jeans and t-shirt). Her hair is usually put up in a bun, held together by an ink quill. In one hand she bears the Scales of Balance, which is sometimes set on a pedestal before her. In the other hand, or tucked into a scroll case at her belt is The Scroll of Time upon which is said to be all of the worlds history, both past and future.

While she may not stand out in a crowd, the god’s presence is always commanding. Those who view her can feel the shifting and swaying of the worlds balance, and can see their own destinies splayed out before them. Those who choose to follow each branching path may find the best end if they took the time, but most, under the fearsome judgment of her golden eyes choose to heed the god’s advice rather than the ever-chaotic future.

==Burial Rites==
Followers of Ambries have no set rites for which to follow.

==Lineage==
Ambries was the first of the gods to step forward out of the veil. She believes that the [[High God]] allowed her to come into being and is waiting to give Him thanks. In her exploration of her powers, she tried to mimic the light of the [[Dragons of Saratta|Stars]] and it formed [[Estridae]] and [[Telraedye]].

==Summary==
Anze is a [[Tyran Elf]] who eventually became a mercenary. She has traveled most of the world, except the Isles. She is known to be rather impulsive tending to jump into situations without thinking if one of her friends are in dangers. This nature has sometimes earned her the tile of <nowiki>"hero"</nowiki> which she firmly denies. She often responds to that by saying <nowiki>"Heros are just people who do stupid things at the right time, and I do lots of stupid things."</nowiki> After her mercenary career ended she signed on with the Naltroinian military in [[Fleetfoot Division 2]] and over the course of the year ended up leaving the military to help fight the demon [[Basrek]]. After stopping him she moved to [[Naltroy]] to retire and raise her child that was fathered by [[Nathan Cannigan]].

==Appearance==
She stands about 5'10" and is relatively lean. She skin is tanned from years in the sun. She keeps her raven black hair cropped to the bottom of her ears. Physically she tends to lack the curves of the average woman, but does not appear to have overly toned muscles. She keeps in shape and tends to stay relatively thin. She also is somewhat flat chested which she considers an advantage when wearing armor. Overall she is strong and very quick.

==Early Life==
Ane was born in [[Corael]] in [[Tyr]] and lived there for 27 years when she joined the [[Red Skies Company]]. He parents were very concerned with moving up in society and had little time for her. She spend much of her time in the woods and playing with other children down by the non-elven docks. Most nights she did not return home and opted to sleep in the woods or any other safe location she could find. She was physically active and in great shape. As she grew older she began to learn how to fight and by the time she was in her mid 20s she was doing street fights for money and had considerable success due to her natural speed and trained strength.
Her parents eventually saw her fighting one day and forced her into training as a priestess of [[Demüen]] at the temple in the city.

==Temple Years==
Anze did not fit in well at the temple. She tended to be a loner and did little to integrate herself with the other girls. She found the whole experience to be hypocritical. She felt everyone talked about protecting the weak, but they did nothing to actually do that. She still maintained a strong faith in [[Demüen]] even though she took issues with the clergy. The whole issue came to a head about five months into her time there. A girl a few years younger than Anze joined the training. She was timid and quiet and didn't interact much with the others as well. She kept her distance until one day when she noticed the other group of girls had her cornered and were belittling her to the point of tears. Anze completely lost it, walked up to the lead girl, spun her around and punched her in the nose causing blood to spray all over her white smock. While the other girls took off to get the priestesses Anze sat and consoled the girl and talked with her. Her name was Idanya. Through out the next two and a half years a relationship started to form between then. Eventually they were found out and kicked out of the temple. Idanya went with her parents and Anze never saw her again. Anze did not go home and stayed near the docks.

==Mercenary Years==
In the weeks following her expulsion from the temple Anze stayed near the docks and tried to find a way out of [[Tyr]]. She managed to impress [[Thoal Shatterscar]], the leader of the [[Red Skies Company]], with her agility and strength and he took her on to train with them. Initially she was harassed by the other mercenaries, but over time became a competent warrior and was well respected by the majority of the company. She spent 25 years working for the company. During her early years she spent a good amount of time with the companies healer, Seralic, and learned the basics of healing and alchemy. She remained one of the few regulars in the company for 25 years. Eventually, she became good friends with Myriam Lightstep and Dar Solonari and spent much of her time with them. She eventually ended up marrying Myriam. Unfortunately, five years later Myriam was killed during a battle. Anze took it really hard and ended up leaving the company after something she did to Dar. She left [[Mishar]], where they were currently stationed, for the [[Naltronian Empire]]. After months of travel and reflection she was hired by the military into [[Fleetfoot Division 2]].

==Military Time==
Anze spent almost a year with the division. She participated in the divisions initial investigations of cultist in the country, defended Thädir against the Bloodmaul (with the help of [[Rhystyvn Ghostwolf]]), the rescue of DuGrace and [[Bridigt Nightbreeze]] and accompanied the emperor to [[Arambashia]] for negotiations. During her time working for the military she developed a strong friendship with the cleric of Estridae, Afanen. Anze looked to Afanen as her adviser and friend for the period of time she ran the division while DuGrace was captured. During this time the beginnings of Anze's relationship with [[Nathan Cannigan]] began. During the trip to [[Arambashia]] DuGrace tasked them with finding the [[Klenad]]. This mission required them to officially leave the military and would not see them back in Naltronia for a year and a half.

==Stopping Basrek==
Anze ended up leading the group for the rest of their quest. They recovered the book and magically returned it to Naltronia, but at the cost of Afanen's life. The group took a ship around the world from [[Arambashia]], stopping in [[Tyr]], and finally returning to Naltronia. They reunited with [[Nathan Cannigan]] and [[Rhystyvn Ghostwolf]]. They found the book had been taken from the tower it was held in and they continued to follow the trail. It took them across the world. Anze found a new friend in the sorcerer [[Abigor]], Afanen was returned to the world as a God-Kissed, and they hired one of their enemies, Chandra Vale, into working for them. Vale latter became a good friend to the group and sacrificed her life to save them. During a time a of despair Nathan began to follow [[Telraedye]] which Anze would later declare her love for him and pull him away from the god's grasp for some time. After using a risky methor of using the Abyss to jump across the world Nathan lost control of his powers, and to save the group Anze killed him. Anze was crushed by this and did not really recover from it. The death of Vale added more to that, but she decided to see the quest through. Vale was returned to the world after Anze asking a dragon to call in a favor. The group ended up stopping [[Basrek]] and went their separate ways.

==Quiet Life==
Following the events with [[Basrek]] Anze returned to Naltronia with DuGrace to speak with [[Rhystyvn Ghostwolf]] and help create a peace between the [[Gnolls|Gnoll]] and the people of Naltronia. DuGrace told her she could not come because she was carrying Nathan's child. She moved back to Naltronia and opened a small herb shop to raise her child in relative quiet.

He is one three characters that made it through the entire campaign from start to finish. He has quite the penchant for nicknames often giving them out even if the recipient doesn't want it. Personality wise Montblanc could best be described as an egomaniac with a napoleon complex. He thought himself to be bigger than life or harm this is apparent by his 13 AC. He was incredibly annoying to everyone as he got in everyone's way and made a big fuss. Otherwise he was an easy going individual that was prone to fits of anger when something really pissed him off which was mostly a result of interactions with [[Verdis]]. He was a caring individual who would have gladly sacrificed himself for the needs of his friends which he considered everyone to be. His friendly disposition often allowed him to trust others, sometimes to easily.

==Appearance==
He is tall for a gnome standing about 3'5" and is very stout. He has a healthy looking body though it has gained quite a few scars on his olive skin from his adventures. His most prominent scar is a pair of bite marks on his arm from when Verdis bit him in Hail. His black hair is in an almost constant mess from the simple lack of maintenance. His short robes match his Green eyes because he believes that is the color of illusion magic. He wears the witches hat he got from the witch of hail and treasures the gift greatly. He carries two large staves on his back that are much too tall for him.

==Back story==
Orphaned at a young age Montblanc never learned his proper family name but was adopted by a kind old Elven couple who ran an orphanage. He grew up in this loving environment and grew to love the world as well as jokes. He developed a sense of racial pride early on in his life. When he was young he was assisted by a nameless mage with great power who saved the life of his human adopted sister, Samantha. At the age of 23 he joined a Naltronian Mage College and studied Illusion magic there. He fell in love with a beauty half elf named Megan. She was tragically killed by a kobold misusing his magical power. His best friend who gave him his handle of Bamboozler was named Barry Ashleaf. the two were good friends till Barry descended into madness and the dark arts. It was because of these two events Montblanc would sacrifice himself easily to those he cared for.

After graduating and becoming a full fledged Illusionist. Montblanc wrote and published a largely unsuccessful novel called "The adventures of Kettle Pots." He never gave up his dream of writing on started to write other books. He joined a merchant caravan and met many new people who would become his friends and comrades in arms.

==Verdis Campaign==
Montblanc like everyone else started out as protection for a trade caravan that moved into the town of [[Rosewood]]. Montblanc helped with the defeat of the Kamrican which turned out to be an experiment. He then moved onto Hail and fought the ''ghosts'' of the city which turned out to be experiments of their own. He discovered the shard of Brailheim and kept it to himself till it was stolen from him by Verdis. Things eventually escalated to the battle at Barrier Hold where he played an important part in killing Verdis again as well as stopping the fighting between the two cities. They then tracked Verdis down to the island where Montblanc and the others went into Verdis's prison. He fought his way through and escaped to fight Verdis and his followers. He was the one who caste the final spell against Verdis disintegrating him making sure nothing was left. A fun fact, Montblanc on three occasions fell under Verdis's command of hatred and proceeded to attempt to destroy everything he could.

Montblanc also two decisions that affected the council of mages. The first was the lift on the ban of Necromancy, he believed it was a school that did have merit if used responsibly. The second was the ban on magical travel which stopped magical teleports. Montblanc also spread the story of the party wherever he could as he knew it would help him sell books. During the adventure Montblanc would write chapters in a book he called "the Idiots Guide to Highway Robbery" but it is unknown if he actually did publish that book. Montblanc is also one of the few people that still does not know what is under Nyle's druid Grove.

==Items and Magic==
Montblanc was an interesting wizard because he used his spells to harm many people as well as create lots of fun. His illusions were primarily used as a supplement magic to make things more fun and as a warning to other people. One thing he liked to do was march into towns with an illusionary dance line of women behind him all doing the thriller dance. He also used Major Image to create giant likenesses of himself to talk to the entire town of [[Barrier Hold]]. He also liked to create illusions of himself and run around to confuse his enemies. As far as evocations go he preferred the spells, resilient sphere, chain lighting and cone of cold. Montblanc however didnt believe in using defensive magic because he knew he could prevail over any force that is why he banned Abjuration. Since Necromancy was also a non protected school at the time he saw no reason to learn it so he abandoned learning Necromancy as well.

He only possessed three real magic items during the course of the campaign. The first item was the shard of [[Brailheim]] that he found in the mansion in hail. He loved that item as he knew it would grow him the city he always wanted. When it was taken from him he was very sad and wanted revenge against Verdis. The second item he received was the Thorn Staff from the hall of weapons. He used it only a few times but mostly liked it because it looked cool. The third item was the magical staff [[Creedis]] that spoke to its wielder, its previous owner Micky died in Barrier Hold and Montblanc took his staff as his memory of him. He greatly enjoyed having the staff not only because of its magical effects but because it was as narcissistic as Montblanc was.

==After Verdis==
With Verdis Defeated Montblanc went back to his passion of writing. He published his second book "The Taming of the Snake" which was a recounted story of his adventure from start to finish. He gave everyone their proper dues in his story, thanking them all for the great adventure. Since he enjoyed being in the village of Rosewood so much he decided to move there permanently and stay with Mak and Nile. He then published several more books both on magical theory pertaining to Illusion magics. He eventually settled down and started a family, with a gnome named Merlina, they went on to have 4 children named Brent, Ovak, Loric, and Nyle.

=Relations with other Characters=

'''[[Soveliss]]''' - When Soveliss joined the group, Montblanc was like will all people initially trusting and intrigued by this new character that was associating with the party. After he found out what Solveliss was really, he really was intrigued by him. To Montblanc Soveliss was a dear companion that he enjoyed being around. He even on occasion offered the vampire his own blood when Soveliss was in desperate need. It was quite enjoyable to see him rise up and become a celestial creature but was very sad to see him leave, however it was not unexpected.

'''[[Brent]]''' - The relationship between Brent and Montblanc was an odd one to say at the best. Montblanc admired Brent for his Can-do attitude and his massive strength. He referred to Brent as "Dimples" because of the toothy smile the giant had. He like to ride on Brent's back and braid his hair when he could. He enjoyed being around the simple creature because it offered a counterpoint to his own intelligence. Brent was also one of the only people Montblanc would listen too just because he trusted in Brent's keen observations and the ability to make everyone shut up. He understood Brent's desire to stay behind and raise a family and was happy for him.

'''[[Ovak]]''' - The one initially called pots because she moved around like clanking pots. This nickname was later changed to Scarecrow because she acted like a scarecrow, no brains. The two of them had a love hate relationship because they annoyed each other to no end. Montblanc thought she depended to much on divine intervention and could do things for herself. He did enjoy her determination and willingness to get things done. The crowning achievement of their relationship was when Montblanc used a dream spell to give her a sex dream about the two of them. Since then the two of them have learned to understand each other to small extent.

'''[[Nyle]]''' - The beloved druid of the party, Nyle held a special place in Montblanc's heart. he treated her as a friend and as a little sister looking after her and taking care of her. He greatly enjoyed her company and likes being in her grove. He calls her leafy because she is very much like a leaf, just plain awesome. He also gave her owl a nickname because she refused to tell anyone its real name so it became, Wingsly. Montblanc just simple adored being around her and her bubbly personality as it reminded him of himself.

'''[[Loric]]''' - The Psion who you couldn't keep down. Montblanc enjoyed his company arguably the most because he found a kindred spirit in Lorek of his vast want and desire. Lorek was honest to a certian degree and what he was honest about was usually the thing that made him an asshole to everyone. Montblanc looked to him for being the one true link of sanity in this party even when his sanity was called into question. He called him Micky because his ears were big like mouse's. He was extremely angry when Loric was killed and took up his mantle as being the smart one in the party. Montblanc carries Creedis with him as his token to the memory of Loric.

'''[[Cyrus]]''' - The short lived companship with Cyrus was one that Montblanc does regret. He thought Cyrus to be distant and unapproachable then he found out what he really was and that explained everything. Montblanc wanted to get to know Cyrus but the adventure and personal feelings kept the two from developing anything more than just comrades. He called him Scales after he found out that he was an [[Othar]].

'''Mak''' - Mak is the kindly old gentlemen that lives in Rosewood. He is Montblanc's supplier of alcohol and a damn good one at that as well. Montblanc enjoys the old man's company and his spirits. Montblanc gave him much money for his home brews and started a Bar with him. After the campaign ended he lived with Mak for a short time before his own house could be built.
