Cycle of Millennia 2022 Session 60: Beginning of the End 2
Here is week 60 of my 2022 Dungeons and Dragons Campaign Cycle of Millennia, Part two of the beginning of the end.
Don’t forget that this campaign has been ongoing for over four years. There is a lot of story to cover and I’m writing a book series to document it all. I am adapting this adventure into a book series. The first three are on Amazon.
!!!Trigger Warnings Abound!!!
This campaign takes place in an incredibly unpleasant setting. The party has dealt with Human Traffickers, Sex Slavery, Child Sacrifice, The Apocalypse, Genocide, Wicked Cults, and other related topics.
There is a God of Madness that is fond of causing auditory and visual hallucinations, makes use of psychic gaslighting, commands the literal legions of hell, and all around causes untold suffering in the setting.
Essentially, nothing is off the table in this campaign. If the above ideas are not ones you want to think about, I do not think this blog series is for you. That is not a problem and does not indicate any failings on your part. I am a storyteller that does not shy away from the darkest topics. It would be horrible for me to not warn my audiences of this in advance.
!!!Final Trigger Warning. Past this point there be dark topics!!!
Party fought further towards the Charice Temple. With more and more monsters and soldiers continuously in their path. Turned out that the soldiers had skills outside of being monsters.
Coordinated volley strikes with their bows and setting up combination attacks with Drow Wizards who exploded when defeated made for a long uphill battle. But the Party had fought worse, and they were ready for this too.
The Orcs and Icegut Dwarves continued to fight through the hordes of monsters below. Now that their soldiers had rallied they pressed their advantage. The Charice Faithful also started taking part in the fight using battle songs and other useful support spells to bolster morale.
The party is close to the temple entrance. But what will they find once they make it inside? Nothing good since the nasty monsters have yet to make an appearance.
