Underworld Adventurer

**This recap took place before the Sacking of Orm Session 1**  Since Journeyman Crannoc returned to Orm from his adventures in the Gloaming Hills, he had been deep into research in the Athenaeum's stacks. Well, when he was not with his tutor Sharune studying a new spell that marked his ascendency to the 5th Rank in the Transcendental Congress of the Aureate Precepts known as 'Philosopher'. Crannoc's research turned the magic-user's attention to the 4th Level of 'The Complex' often refered to as the Great Cavern. He convinced the following party to join him on his explorations: Journeyman Crannoc (Level 5 Magic-User) Uscha (fey servitor) Spike (wardog) Yeoman Klang (Level 2 Thief hireling) PakPak (Level 5 Kobold) Smokey Proag (Level 3 Halfling hireling) Wolfgang (Level 3 Duelist) Ur-Kel (Level 2 Vat Spawn Knight hireling) The party returned over a day later lugging a crate with them. The hirelings Yeoman Klang and Smokey Proag went off to to celebrate another...

  Orm was ablaze from the wrecking of the airship:  the Purple Rose . A group of adventurers and members of the Athenaeum of the Dying Sun  set out to protect the library from the fires that raged uncontrolled through the ruins of Orm-of-Old. The following group assembled to collect water and create fire breaks: Fancy Jean-Yves Beauvollier (Level 5 Bard) Peaches (Level 4 Thief retainer) Freedom (Sapient Cat) GaWoosh (Level 4 Gnome) Journeyman Crannoc (Level 5 Magic-User) Uscha (fey servitor retainer) Kiddo (Level 3 Magic-User) Here is GaWoosh's take on events provided by the gnome adventurer's player Curtis: The group, joined by the Midnight Marauder Souz'awn and the wardog Brutus, succeeded to preventing the Atheanaeum from burning or being sacked. Still, the field currently tilts away from Orm's favor with several retreats by the party and creature corrupted by remnants of the Oloth El'gg Sssuson left to remain loose.

 On Sunday, I ran the first session centered around the Worthy raiding Orm as the settlement burns (caused by the wreck of the Sunset Elf airship the Purple Rose ). One of the pieces of player feedback was some sort location-specific map (instead of just using my currently incomplete one of Orm) would help with player decision making. I make a rough, text-based point-crawl map based on the even rougher one in my session notes. As I looked at it, though, I thought, "Why don't I just overlay that over my incomplete map?" So, did. I threw the first ever sketch of the Worthy (circa 2017) at the top just for fun. I hope this will be helpful in coming sessions.
