Ashlem War
Chapter 1: The Fall of Octavius
The Drunken Fool I Session 1
Our heroes find themselves in Octavius a port city now a staging stronghold before heading into the Ashlem Rise warzone, or as the first major refuge for those fleeing North from the war. Safe from the war against the demons or so they thought, they head to bed in the Drunken Fool Inn, a warm sanctuary against the cool night. During their morning routine a large explosion shakes the inn as the central space caves in and demons flood in attacking civilians. Our heroes fight through and clear the two upper levels of the inn and gaining the aid of Artistoxilath a dragonborn knight, who had defected from the Oxtrad army to join the Love Accord, with the two floors clear the group head down to the ground floor.
The Drunken Fool II Session 2
Reaching the ground floor the heroes are met with an onslaught of demons and a large portal among the flaming debris falling from the upper levels. Dispatching the demons and rescuing Captain Oriole and more civilians, the heroes find a black orb that opens the portal as Oriole tells them demons took her friend Colm into the portal. Chasing through the heroes kill off more demons and a group of cultists torturing Colm. After rescuing Colm the group heads back through, collapsing the portal behind them, they see hundreds of these portals across the city of Octavius, time to flee.
