1355 DR - Kheldrivver RP [DM & Player]

[DM Soulcatcher]

Ralmevik, a shirtless warrior scarred with various runes, had made his way to the hamlet of Kheldrivver, seeking the Tempuran forces. Although possible to mistake the short and stout man for a dwarf such confusion was avoided as he introduced himself as a Rashemi warrior to the first defender he spoke with:

"Greetings. I heard some folks could use a bit of help here. Name's Vik, of Rashemen." He seemed to be examining the situation and the warband's position in the settlement as he spoke. "As far as I'm concerned you're in charge here. I'm a decent tracker and I've got the nose of a bloodhound, but you'll want me blocking the way of incoming forces. How can I help?"

Few soldiers wave Vik over and offer him a tankard of ale. It's quite evident that those are currently off-duty soldiers. - "You could sharpen your axe and wait for when our Commander hands out tasks again! Should be rather soon- I've heard a rumour that he plans on further slowing down the encroaching warband of monsters. Something about cutting off the way they're using... Anyway, name's Gill. If you really have a nose of a hound, I could wiggle you into a scouting mission- you seem like a decent feller!" - The man grins at his last words. It becomes rather clear that he's not entirely sober.

"Looking forward to it, Gill." He'd offered the man and his brothers-in-arms a single sip of his own flask of Jhuild, Rashemi firewine, in thanks before retiring for the rest of the day in a nearby makeshift camp, waiting to make himself useful in the defenders' effort.

A Man in Green Robes sticks around after the latest fight against the Orcs. A small chicken follows him step by step along the way, strutting and appearing to be clucking orders towards the Battle clerics

He approaches the first commander who looks in charge and re-introduces himself;


"Rissonis Belek, The Archsorcerer. A pleasure. Listen; We may have cleared out your problem over here. But I think I could take the fight to these orcs. You've seen how awesome I am!" He appears quite high on himself.

"I think its time to set up a little ambush, Now let me know who I need to speak to about getting something set up. We need to thin these numbers out... And make sure they pay well!"

Captain Redscar, a man in his early forties, receives the sorcerer and listens to what he has to say. After Rissonis is done, he remains silent for a brief moment, after which he says - "...That's actually a sensible idea rolling off your tongue, which is something all the more surprising... and maybe even disturbing. Nevertheless, there's a crossing that should be a good ambush site- orcs are definitely going to march one of their groups through it. If you're up for it and get some friends of yours, you can set up an ambush there."

((This Saturday at 20:00 GMT +0 there is going to be a large event pertaining to Kheldrivver. Its main theme is Defence Battle.))

[DM Soulcatcher]

((Event will happen 30 minutes later than planned!))

[DM Soulcatcher]

The infernal forces along with their monstrous allies have set up a siege camp around the fortified town known as Kheldrivver. After the sunset, the orcish and fiendish marched on for their first battle in order to take the town as their own. The Tempuran holy order, along with numerous adventurers that arrived as reinforcements, have fought the entire night and morning- slowly being pushed out from farmlands into the walls, then into the town itself. The orcs are said to have constructed several siege towers in order to scale the stone walls of the town, but the defenders have managed to destroy a good number of those.

In the end, the top of the town exploded with rainbow colours and the magic took the form of a gigantic cube that now surrounds Kheldrivver. The cube is repelling the encroaching green fog, as well as protects from any enemy catapults. The battle was broken, with many orcs and steel devils slain, though not without considerable losses on the side of Kheldrivver's defenders.

The camps remain, the siege continues. For now.

[DM Soulcatcher]

Days have passed and there is no news regarding whether or not Kheldrivver is under siege or fell. Some travellers that dared to get closer towards the town's territory have said that there are still lights torches cutting through the midnight horizon.

[DM Spartacus]

Quiet words from adventurous traders report the road to Kheldrivver open. Mist such as it exists faded, harmless and breaking up, News and the first trade from the town reach Baldur's Gate shortly thereafter. The people have held -they are well - The Devils have gone south. The creature in the Mist slain by adventurers.

[DM Spartacus]

Roads are open, trade is flowing, health and wealth is visible at Kheldrivver. Rumour has it scouts and underground specialists followed south in the wake of the Devils and were on hand to assist the Forces of Amn and the Sword Coast Guilds at the Gap, marking the route for those Guilds striking underground. Their way of repaying a debt perhaps. At home fresh supplies and goods adorn the relieved Kheldrivver, a new circle of sapplings planted to mark the open trade routes.
