-Corvus: Riches and to show his son an adventure to turn him into a ‘man’+Beneath the great city of //Milaven// located in the nation of //Griaca//. that's where these invitations had lead our heroes. \\ 
 +Down dark allies, Bellow the streets. Ladders lower, Stairs deeper. The Sewers gave way to even deeper tunnels and it was here that a sprawling calculated network of tunnels made up the Lair of //Xanathar//. \\ 
 +The entrance a grand door of Brass and pyrite wit two hooded figures standing guard. Upon showing the invitation the figures would part and the door would open. Inside could best be described as an organised hoard of clutter, or tallied chaotic arrangements. things made sense until you investigated too long then they started to make less and less sense. \\ 
 +The lair was well lit wit warm lighting, Despite being so low underground the air felt natural and fresh like that of a spring day. You find a que of other adventures, all holding the same invitation you have. sitting patently as if they were at an interview. \\ 
 +As you walk over you see a mahogany wooden door swing over as an adventure leaves, dejected, somber. It seems they did not pass the interview. \\ 
 +//"Next please! do not keep me waiting!"// \\ 
 +A voice rang out from the room. you can't see who is in there. but the voice is comical. minion-like. the voice someone would make when pretending to be a goblin you would assume. \\ 
 +the next in line gets up from her chair and enters the room, closing the wooden door behind her. You feel its best to take up your position in line. 
 + 
 +Kain, A Gnome in appearance but not from this world. An experiment gone wrong had flung him through the multiverse and he had ended up here in //Felwind//. he had been here only a few weeks when he found his invitation in is backpack. Wanting to get home he would agree to meet at the dictated time and place. \\ 
 +His interview was short, and Xanathar seemed to like that, Kain answered the questions bluntly and gave straightforward points. only wanting to find interesting resources and more importantly find a way home. It seemed to resonate with Xanathar's natural curiosity and so he was hired for the job. 
 + 
 +Ben, A Paladin to [[faction:loyal_three|Loyal of Three]], Him and his trusty steed Geoff had received this invitation on the eve of learning his Nephew had gone missing. too well timed to be a simple coincidence he thought. perhaps it was the ones who had taken his nephew looking to strike soe sort of bargain? or looking to settle some revenge for Ben's past doings. He had made alot of enemies in the underworld due to his richous crusading. \\ 
 +Though upon arriving things were not that simple. but he was on the right track. the Beholder Xanathar confirmed that his Nepwhew was indeed in //Brovaria//. The tasks aliened and Ben agreed to carry out Xanatha's request in exchange for a hefty reward and of course the saving of his nephew. 
 + 
 +Corvus, A [[culture:Tiefling]] who had journeyed far from his home in //Mor-Tir//, crossing the Ocean to get to //Griaca//. The trip did not botther him as Corvus had been looking for an opportunity such as this to bond with is Son. His Ex-wife recintly passed away and Corvus had now to take care of the Son he barely knew. what better way to create memories and forge friendship than an adventure. \\ 
 +Corvus saw his son as rater sheltered, wo had yet to come of age. He aimed to use this adventure to 'Man Up' His son Xaivier. \\ 
 +The interview went by rather quickly, Corvus was not interested in the details but rather the rewards. e agreed to take this quest for the Beholder Xanathar if he got fat sacks of gold at the end. The Bargain was struck.

-Arriving in Brovaria Corvus imminently tries to steal from a local shop, however the shop owner is very rude charging very high prices so most of the party let it slide. \\ +[[character:kain|{{:character:media:artificer.png?100 |}}]]

-The party meet Irrina's brother in a bar and berate him, he seems pretty weak and Corvus isn't a fan.+<WRAP clear />
  
-The party explore a nearby charge where they find a prist who has trapped their turned son in the basement. the party free the son and end up killing both the priest and the son out of some misguided mercy. \\+Upon the few hours journey through mist so thick they couldn't see a few feet Infront the party finally manage to step free of that humid cursed fog. Arriving on the edge of a dark muddy settlement where the stone roads had started to sink bellow the mud. The sky was dark, No Sun or moon but enough light emanating from something above the clouds means the party were not in total darkness. Many worn-out torches littered the town providing enough light for the day to day. 
 + 
 +Out and about were sprinkles of people. most looked sickly to some extent. greying skin. bad posture, dull eyes. Most would snicker or cackle as the group approached. None seemed passed by the new arrivals, Even the massive Naga Elisia wasn't turning any eyes. \\ 
 +//"Well this place is a dump"// Kain, The Gnome said aloud. \\ 
 +Xander the racoon Tabaxi nodded in agreement. //"Riight?! I am glade I wasn't the only one thinking it. What a shitty place for an adventure Dad!"// \\ 
 +Corvus grimaced. feeling the same way but loath to admit it. //"Now wait there sure to be something...ah there! lets spend some of this coin Xanathar gave us."// \\ 
 + 
 +One of the few buildings that seemed well maintained was a general goods store. Te Sign had been warn away and was unreadable but a smaller one placed outside simply said 'General Goods'. \\ 
 +Corvus already hatching a plan. \\ 
 +The party enter the store save Elisia who was far to big for the front door. She instead decides to explore more of the town, Handing Ben some gold to purchase some supplies in her steed. \\ 
 +Behind the counter a rather burly and chonky man who had more hair tan face. only his green eyes and cheeks could be seen amongst his massive of thick curly hair. His beard, his ears even his eyebrows were forests of wild hair. He grunted as the party begin browsing, Standing strait with a hammer in his hands. 
 + 
 +The shop was cramped, Mostly wit broken or useless supplies. It took a moment longer than they thought to find things they could use. Approaching the counter Kain placed a set of tools, a mess kit, a tent and bedroll. The owner said in a voice muffled by hair. //"2000 Gold!"// \\ 
 +The Group paused. //"What!?"// they herd Elisia shout from outside. \\ 
 +The party went back and forth wit the owner over the outrages prices, Not making any ground. Eventually Corvus piped up //"Fine we will take our business elsewhere!"// \\ 
 +Once they were out of the store Corvus revealed that he and Xander had managed to steal quite a bit during the argument, Thanking Ben and Kain for the ample distraction.  
 + 
 +Spotting a market style shop plotted right between a bunch of other empty or broken stalls the frog faced gremlin of a man twisted a smile seeing the group approached. \\ 
 +Draped in heavy rage and a wide brim hat full of holes he greeted the group wit a nod and chuckle. \\ 
 +much like the General store a lot of the items on display were less than desirable. But this time they were labelled 'Magical' Instantly suspicious the party questioned the seller about various items. A scythe made out of cardboard. a Broken bottle, A 'N-Ice Ring' Despite thier shoddy appearance they were rather cheep. \\ 
 +Corvus almost buys the cardboard scythe before Elisia steps in and calls him an Idiot for falling for such an obvious fake. So instead he decides to by the 'Nice Ring' \\ 
 +While Kain ends up buying a curious glass bottle containing a swirling tornado. 
 + 
 +With money spent the party find a tavern and head in for food and drink. Quickly meeting up with //Brother// who has been going around the tavern begging people for help. Approaching the new arrivals, rather than offer help or tur him away the party begin to belittle the poor man. Saying how weak he is needing others to help. shouldn't he be trying to save his sister himself? \\ 
 +Corvus especially abuses //Brother// with words until the man drags himself away in a defeated and depressed slump. 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 +The party explore a nearby charge where they find a priest who has trapped their turned son in the basement. the party free the son and end up killing both the priest and the son out of some misguided mercy. \\

 + 
 +After the rather dark incident at the church the party, Corvus, Elisia, Kain and Ben make a visit to the town's Inn to debrief thier situation over drink and food. \\ 
 +The Inn, despite the towns dreary air was still rather upbeat. Their was amateur music, A decent if drunk crowd and at least average tasting food, Last time they were here the party simply bullied //Irina's Brother//. The party finding a table near a window, Due to the Yuan-Ti Elisia's size the front door was not an option. so she stuck her long neck through a window close to one of the tables. Orders were placed, Food arrived and discussion commenced.   
 + 
 +The party called over //Irina's Brother// for a proper introduction. He explained that this land is known as //Brovaria// and that it is plagued by a //Dark Prince// known as **Strahd**. He dosnet know any fine details aside from Strahd has had an infatuation with his sister **Irina** for some time now. Although she has denied Strahd's advances again and again //Brother// can see that Strauhd is becoming more bold with every encounter and fears its only a matter of time before he doesn't take 'no' for an answer. \\ 
 +Though there is some sympathy among the party not enough to work for free. //Brother// offers what ever is left at te manor and to also put the party in touch wit some people he knows that might help the party find things they are looking for. After //Brother// is also preassured into paying for the parties meal they agree to seeing what this is about. 
 + 
 +Their Journey to the Manor is rather uneventful, They pass the time mostly by talking amongst themselves and observing Corvus's attempts at father-hood. **Kain** Being a Gnome was rather short and his little legs struggled to keep up with the rest of the party, Until he requested a ride from the large Yuan-Ti Elisia, Slithering along. She agreed and Kain rode the Slithering //Naga// the rest of the trip. \\ Ben Introduced the party to his valiant steed **Jerry** whom he summoned and mounted at the beginning of the journey, But refused anyone else to ride. \\ 
 + 
 +As the manor comes into view, the anticipation is quickly doused by the sounds of ravaging wolves and screams for help. The party break out into a sprint as they encounter a rather gruesome sight. \\ 
 +Bodies of what looked like servants ripped apart all over the manor's gardens while a pack of five (5) Dire Wolves barked and tore at the wooden door. Screams for assistance coming from inside. The party quickly sprung into action. \\ 
 +The Fight was fierce, These wolves far more blood thirsty than any typical wildlife. These creatures were out to kill. But the party were not complete new to this sort of danger. They were equipped and prepared, Steel carved through flesh, Spells weaved for destruction, Fangs tore through armour and the burning of gunpowder filled the air. putting down the pack of mutts with in a matter of minuets the party proved victorias. 
 + 
 +//Brother// rushed to the manor, calling out for his siter and father. but his chare was stopped as a dark flash appeared, Throwing //Brother// backwards. the pale man, well defined cheek bones, black as raven hair, Fangs drew down from his top lip and bright piercing eyes. Dressed like e had just come from a Halloween party but no less intimidating as he hung in the air, floating with an intense glare. \\ 
 +He Greets the party, Introducing himself as Strahd, Master of Brovaria and lord of all who dwell here. Ending the introduction with a bow, Not of respect but of dominance. \\ 
 +Most of the party stand ready, Understanding this person is in another league of power, But Corvus, Out to prove to his son of his strength or just plain ego stoking, goes almost face to face with Strahd to not only disrespect him but challenge him to a bout. 
 + 
 +This quickly results in Straud summoning another, larger pack of Dire wolves, and although the party won te last round they were injured and low on resources. Not ready to fight another, harder battle. Kaine, Ben and Elisia work to wind the tention of the situation down. Binding and Gaging Corvus so e can sit still and shut up. This seems to be enough amusement to quell Starhd's anger as he calls the Dire Wolves off. he agrees to leave but adds //"I have found something else to amuse myself with, for a time at least."// Vanishing in a cloud of black smoke. 
 + 
 +Freeing Corvus they take stock and tend to their wounds as //Brother// hurriedly makes his way inside. \\ 
 +The party quickly realise someone is missing. //"Were is my son? Xander?"//. he party realise Xander is gone. Run away or taken? Wat was it that Strahd said? The party determine he has been kidnapped by Strahd, But the party offer little kind words as Corvus was the one to 'Fuck around and Find out' 
 + 
 +Inside the Manor they meet **Irina** for the first time. as well as their father who lay dead on the floor, blood pooling in bite marks covering the body. The party have little resources to help, Not that it would mater, he was dead. \\ 
 +The grieving is brief but the party agree to help take the father's body back to town for a proper burial. They sleep in the manor tat night.

 +
 +Only a few days away from the city, The Duo Quill and Dorian come across a hunting rundown hut. Quill deduced right away that there was something really wrong about it. Out in te middle of no where, Whispers coming from it and a strange bellowing mist that centred on the decrepit building. But Dorian only saw a brief respite from the long journey on the road. \\
 +//"Ah Finally, a place to rest that isn't under a tree"// Dorian strutted over not heeding Quill's warnings. Forced to follow him for when the inevitable happens. \\
 +
 +Dorian enters the hut a bit standoff, Not because of the creepy atmosphere but because this place hadn't been cleaned in what looked like years. \\
 +//"Oh! urgh, O jeeze that's just...'lovely'..Even the cobwebs have cobwebs!"// but despite its filth it was still an upgrade from another damp dirt filled evening under the stars. Quill entered in behind, On Guard his claws ready to draw his bow at a moments notice. And a Notice came, As Quill reached the centre of the room a loud noise startled him as he drew his bow and let loose an arrow in its direction. \\
 +Thunk! \\
 +Right into the wall besides Dorian who had just sneezed, Leaping back with surprise as the arrow narrowly misses inflicting wounds. \\
 +//"What was That!?"// Shouted Dorian as he looked at Quill, Anger soaked his face. \\
 +Quill lowered his bow and looked apologetic. Mimicking a apology he had herd some years ago. //"Apologies, Dorian, You, Scared, Me"//
 +
 +The Duo continued to investigate the hut. three rooms it seemed, A Living area, a Kitchen and a Bedroom. All the furniture was still ere but in terrible disrepair. Dorian constantly testing various places to find the least soiled location to drop his bedroll. Using prestigitation constantly to slowly clean areas he deemed suitable. \\ 
 +Dorian would often mutter things like //"No this won't do, I am sure there is a better spot"// \\
 +Quill was starting to let sleep get the better of him. His guard had wanned as aside from the occasional sneeze and some rattling of mice noting had seemed to jump out at them. \\
 +
 +Eventually the silence was broken once again. //"Eurika!"// Shouted Dorian. Seemingly finding his 'perfect spot' //"Haha now we can finally get some much needed rest. Come! Quill! marvel at this grand location!"// \\
 +If only to get to sleep quicker Quill humoured Dorian, walking to the living room to find Dorian standing inside wha seemed to be a small nest? or fortress? of broken bits of furniture. Surprisingly clean too. Before the show-off got too invested Quill's expression dropped to fear as the spectre of a woman phased through the wall, Above and behind Dorian as its razor-sharp teeth protruded to bite. But before it could it saw Quill, Realising it had been noticed it quickly disappeared back into the wall. \\
 +//"What's the matter Quill? you look like you have seen a ghost?"// Dorian remaining completely oblivious to how close he was to danger.

-As their journey in Brovaria comes to an end, the party celebrates with one last feast before parting ways. During their feast, Quill gifts Elisia with a copy of his first book draft in exchange for a chance to visit her library in the future, along with a completed copy and any other interesting books she might like. Quill also discusses with Balore that he might know someone who can help Balore find his way home. The following morning he travels to Silkie and adopts Ken, along with a promise to keep in touch with Silkie and organise playdates with the other children. He bids farewell to Ben and his nephew, wishing them safe travels and provides Kain with a few diagrams of weird devices he has found in his time as a gift. For Thrash, Quill takes him to the side and taunts Thrash about getting to visit Elisia again, in a voice that none of the party has heard before, Quill's real voice, before ending with “And no one will believe you”. Quill, Ken and Balore then leave Bravaria towards a, literally, brighter future.+**Kain** \\ 
 +With the duty fulfilled Kain saw his opportunity to get home, The portal closing quickly there was little time for a proper goodbye, not that Kain was good at them anyway, He gave the rest of the party a quick wave and farewell before jumping through the dimensional tear. Hopefully arriving home. 
 + 
 +**Ben** \\ 
 +Ben would return to Xanathar to collect his reward, But after the Beholder provided little information on how to cure his Nephew who had become a thrall he would journey to the land of //Mor-Thir// to return to his religious sanctuary. \\ 
 +He would track down Corvus in //Greyhawk// to ask him fro company on this small but important Journey. This last epiloguedic quest gave moment for Ben and Corvus to discuss the events that had transpired. it was therapeutic for Corvus who had begun to Spiral ever since leaving //Brovaria//. \\ 
 +Ben's Nephew was cured and returned to his parents. Ben would accompany Corvus on the way back to Greyhawk before leaving on his own once again to continue his crusade.

 As they travel back, Quill questions Balore about his world and his monastary, even taking a few lessons on the basic aspects of his fighting style. Ken, thinking they are playing around, joins in with the lessons and takes a liking to them. Returning home, Quill completes his job by reporting his success to Xanathar and informing him of the changes in Brovaria, while requesting his assistance in getting Balore home a payment for Quill's services. As they travel back, Quill questions Balore about his world and his monastary, even taking a few lessons on the basic aspects of his fighting style.

 The information Xanathar provides leads Balore on another adventure, one that Quill and Ken both join him on. Quill would keep his promise to Elisia and Silkie after this journey, with a second book of his adventures with Balore in addition to his first for Elisia, and a joyful reunion for the children. What comes afterwards well…. only the Moon knows. The information Xanathar provides leads Balore on another adventure, one that Quill and Ken both join him on.

 +**Balore** \\
 +Balore was sucked into //Brovaria// by a outside source. He made no deal with Xanathar and so had no rewards waiting for him. But the knowlage he was seeking could be found within Elisia's Library, Yet he would have to wait. \\
 +Balore like the rest of the party arrived back in the mortal plane with a few years had passed. time he had to make up for. \\
 +Balore would journey with Quill to Elisia's Library that was now located in the //Promised Archapeligo// there Balore would get the information he needed to track down the one he was searching for.
