AGE OF WORMS CAMPAIGN DIARY - 01/10/2017 "THE NEW AGE"
Heroes:
- - Samilar
- - Micah
- - Halimyr
- - Captain Olaf
The heroes arrive on Wyrmcrawl Island and find the black
obelisk, emitting the same energy as the ziggurats, and the towering figure of
Kyuss beside it, along with three gigantic green Overworms. The heroes waste no time and move in to
attack. Initially, Kyuss ignores the
heroes as the worms intercept them. But as
they begin to cut the worms down, and start targeting Kyuss with their attacks,
the worm-god diverts his attentions from the obelisk to the interlopers.
Initially, the battle seems one-sided, as the heroes are nearly overwhelmed with the worms and Kyuss, but they had plundered Dragotha’s treasure hoard and having acquired the Sword of Annihilation and restored the Rod of Seven Parts into the Rod of Law, they had great magic at their disposal. Despite Kyuss having killed and decapitated Captain Olaf, the hero was restored with a Wish. Despite Kyuss decapitating Micah, twice, she was restored with Wishes. Though taking significant punishment from Kyuss, enough to kill many mortals many times over, the heroes persisted and fought with all of the power at their disposal, whittling down the worm-god.
Micah used the Sword of Annihilation, which had a dire
effect on Kyuss. Through the combined
efforts of the heroes and the use of the Sword of Annihilation, the mortal form
of Kyuss was reduced to tattered robes and a smattering of worms that slithered
into the earth. All that remained of the
worm-god was his divine energy, which fled into the obelisk. At that point, Samilar struck the obelisk
with the Rod of Law, shattering the rod and causing the obelisk to crumble,
sending a wave across the globe destroying all of Kyuss’ minions and ending the
short-lived Age of Worms.
The heroes regrouped and rest afterwards. The seven parts of the shattered Rod of Law
disappeared. After resting, the heroes
return to the floating manor of Tenser to find Balabar Smenk leading a revolt
against their ally Hella Darkore and the loyal survivors of Diamond Lake. The heroes shut the revolt down and Smenk is
placed in irons by Captain Olaf. Hella
shows Olaf her gratitude and offers to return to Greyhawk to restore the city. A scroll floats down from Tenser’s manor to
Halymir, pronouncing him the new owner of Tenser Manor. A butterfly appears to Samilar reminding him
of his obligation to the Great Druid to return to the Isle of Mists to assume
stewardship of the Tree of Knowledge.
And finally, Micah is urged by the Sword of Annihilation to find her ancestor
and namesake, Micah of the Flames of Sunndi, who was last known to be in the
Feywild in the service of a Fey Lord.
So ends the Age of Worms and so begins a New Age for
Greyhawk. What will this age bring? We shall see…
