What is this: As the finale to our current season of open dnd 5e games (VALUE) we decided to make an Epic. What is an Epic you ask? It is multiple adventures that happen concurrently and can affect each other after a certain time.
For an example think of a siege. One adventure might be fighting the battle, and another is hunting traitors, but all of them are at the same time.
When is this? This will be an adventure in two parts. You do not have to be present in both. The dates are the 7.3.2025 and 21.3.2025 at 19:00 in Wowkeepers at Holochergasse 53.
What is this adventure about? An evil outer plane of biomachines, are attacking the realms and bringing their cursed perfection to others, assimilating them into their whole. You are one of the heroes that fight against them. The goals of the different missions can be different but each one is dangerous.
How can I join? Just write me a PM or write here on the thread and maybe tell what Tier (level range) you wish to play. Remember you have use a character in accordance with the VALUE houserules ( Our D&D Houserules). The DMs will write over time their adventures and level range in this thread.
Special Rules:
You can bring 2 characters, so in case one dies you can jump straight to the other.
Some tables will have special rules or restrictions with Simulacrums.
Potential Content warnings for the adventures:
Assimilation, Body Horror, Corruption, Cults, Modification
Elesh Norn, the mother of machines and leader of Phyrexia, gave the order to ‘complete’ various metaphysical ‘believes’ in her Fair Light Basilica to turn the Faiths of the multiverse into a tool that will serve only ‘Completion’:
A shield of ‘completed’ Faith that not even the gods can pierce.
The enemy mastermind won’t expect a small group infiltrating the heart of New Phyrexia. Although audacious, this might be the only chance we will get.
… How many ‘believes’ can you save?
… How much can you weaken the shield of ‘completed’ faith that protects The Core?
… How many of you can escape this nightmarish realm?
After the shield of ‘completed’ Faith has been weakened, it is time to assault The Core and face Elesh Norn herself.
… Can you get into to The Core in time?
… Will you be able to withstand Elesh Norn’s power?
… How many legendary heroes will be ‘completed’ into Phyrexians?
Style: The adventure has two parts. The first is a race against time, the second is a dungeon. Both have puzzles, combat, and a corruption mechanic (‘completion’).
T3; Level 11-16
BufoBufo (or T2): The Divine Tragedy
Times are dire, Phyrexia is overrunning the realms, the gods are not responding and your soldiers are not enough against the Horrors that are being unleashed. You need an army… You need warriors that are experienced and will not flinch against horror. You need the Powers of Heaven and Hell.
Delve into the 9 Hells or ascend to Mount Celestia. Convince the beings to support you, because when complete obliteration is on the line, one will even haggle with Asmodeus himself.
Style: The adventure is in two parts. One will be a social Heist, the other one more riddle and puzzle like. Both will have hard combat during and in the end.
T2; Level 5-10
ThatGuyTed (or T3) Breaking the Divine
Realmbreaker breaks through the Multiverse and connects all planes. You have to stop it at any cost. Deep in Phyrexia the corrupted world tree awaits. Can there be someone who can stop it, if yes, at what price?
Style: ThatGuyTed is generally free flowing with lots of choices. The second half will be filled with puzzles and battles.
I’ll be there, but I’m not quite sure which tier yet. I could join T1 at lv3 or T2 in the lower range, so lv5-7. Is it okay if I give my decision around 1-2 weeks before?
I probably can’t do either of those dates, but I might join short-notice, depending on how many players I have at my table that week. I can play any tier.
This sounds very interesting, I could be there with T1-T3, more interested in T2-T3, but I´m flexible. One of my characters is almost there to jump to T4, so that seems unlockable too!
Any wishes, what kind of character I should bring?
Available are:
Monk (of course)
Ranger
Artificer
Rogue
(mostly not pure, but in combinations with each other)
Just like @Jackfruitchilli. Cant say yet if the 7th works but will try. Will be there for the 21st. Would like to play T3 if possible but can play any tier.
My +1 just told that she will be coming as well. As her character is lvl 5 i would prefer to play with her on t2. Also my backpack was stolen. Luckily i only had my pen and dice in it, i am humbly requesting that someone could take extra dice with them
Is it possible to join the Phyrexians? Bath my weak flesh parts in glistening black oil and complete me! I am ready to be a traitor to the mortal realms.
If no one is willing to have a perfect citizen of the machine hell in their party… I’ll just be there to (very reluctantly) fight against them…
Preferably T2 or T3
I probably can make it to both sessions.
