CK’s Note: we had a campaign “reset” when we switched to a new ruleset “Heroes & Horrors.”  In the reset, we dropped the quest for the twelve relics and the Grimfeast locale.  At the first session only one player ended up making it (everyone else had some last-minute things come up).  As a result, the player ran two PC’s.

Ransook and his brother, a cleric named Sebastian, had bought passage on a ship traveling to the city of Silverton, located in the Silvershire region.  Ransook had heard that the region was ripe for fortune seeking adventurers: decaying ruins, old silver mines, and not a lot in the way of civilization.  While passing through Lake Lodun, Ransook notices a run down manse on the shores of the lake.  In the upper window is a flickering light, flashing in what appears to be some sort of signal.

After checking into the local inn, “The Old Bag of Nails,” Ransook and Sebastian follow the lakeshore to investigate the reputedly abandoned estate.  After scaling the walls, they encounter large scorpions prowling the grounds, goblins running about the rooms, and two human skeletons sealed up in the dining room.  They also find the goblin’s leader, a Hexer, who has a signal lamp and some basic instructions.  From the upper room they can see an island out in the middle of the lake.  Who could they be contacting?

Below the house, the brothers also find a boat (and some dire rats who give Sebastian a nasty disease) and a bunch of shackles.  The brothers head back to Silverton to plan their next move.

This is the (newish) campaign journal for what is generally known as the “Strange Vistas Campaign.” If you look over at the page “About” you’ll see some general information about this campaign. Soon, I’ll be posting the backstory, just to get all the new viewers up to speed.

Until then, go to the old site and read up on all the things this campaign has been up to until then.
