The Night of Ash and Ember
As the first snow begins falling in the foothills of the Folded Mountains the village of Regindale is preparing to celebrate the annual Festival of the First Flame in honor of Kestria, the Godess of Hearth, Home and Hospitality.
A festival open to all, the elders of the village have invited you to join the festivities and to witness the “Lighting of the First Flame” at midnight, a tradition that is said to earn Kestrias favour, so that the village may get through the upcoming season without loosing anyone to the bitter colds of winter.
The preperations seem to be going well and you are enjoying yourself with a hot cup of spiced mead, until one of the village elders approaches you with worrying news…
Or do you @Lux_Tenebraeque want to run something? Otherwise with @Lux_Tenebraeque @alien @Bearberry @snd and @froggyprince we’d be a full table.

just a heads up, I’m not sure if @bearberry is joining, he never technically said so - I just kind of assumed and put him on the list. @Lanathos however was definitely looking for a table.
I do have one seat left after driows cancellation in case both of them show.
Yeah sorry, I can’t join tonight, I’ve got a nasty cold

Thanks for the heads up!
I can definetely adjust down to 4 or even 3 players, thats not a problem at all if it comes to that, I’d just prefer not to do more than 5 players, especially for 1-shots.

I will most likely be filling in a vacancy at xaosseed’s table. Just as information in helping you plan.
Im not a part of the long-term group at that table though, so I’m open to a quick discussion at the start with members of the different tables to determine where i could contribute the most.

The Matilda has started a buzz - not just because they somehow, somewhere found the fastest giant Seahorse ever and won the Junior Race winning the highly sought after Kraken Scales, but they also won a competition against Luana the Diva. Despite their bravery, they did almost die to a pretty, colourful seaweed. While they argued about trying to go see what the commotion on the other side of the main square was, 276 merfolk lost their lives to a giant blood worm that had escaped from the trench and had even taken over some of the mining patrol guards, convincing them to serve the Demon Lord Capicatli and help his half-aboleth son Iguancao open the portal to the blood sea to help him satisfy his eternal hunger. However, his blood worm was no match for our brave movement-manipulators and suggestion-casters, bardic inspirers, and underwater-arrow-shooters. As the city licks its wounds and buries its dead, and as you sit by the fire, oh I mean bubbly-hot-steam-of-water, Mago tells you everything he knows about the legend of the Capicatli Trench.
- I had a blast playing, hope you did too!
- Next session will be two weeks from today which is May 23.
- You can gain 20 Downtime Days (but bear in mind that the next adventure will have the same level cap so you would level out of the campaign and would need a new character).
Mago’s story about the Cipactli Trench.
Most Merfolk have forgotten that the demonic costumes, the abysmo festival, and even Duquesa Celida all go back to a horrifying part of the journey of Tresora D’Mar. It started long, long ago when Gods wanted a play thing and created Cipactli, a creature that was their plaything and lived from their scraps. Always hungry, eventually Cipactli set out to find his makers and confront them, but was laughed away. As he managed to trick elemental spirits into his maw, he managed to gain more and more power. But the spirit of the North Wind, as it was being devoured, managed to put a curse on Cipactli: He would never find satisfaction from food, would never feel full, would always want to feed on … more. With the power he now had from the spirits he slowly turned into a demonic force that made few friends, as it was always driven by this hunger for more, not stopping for anything along the way. Somehow, however, Cipactli produced a child, Ihuancao, with an abolish mother. While eventually the Gods managed to banish Cipactli to his own spot of solitude in the sea of blood, his sown, Ihuancao, remained deeply loyal and kept looking for ways to bring his father back to this plane and these waters. Thousand years ago, he managed to perform a ritual that opened a rift between the planes. The water from the blood sea had already begun to seep through, when Duquesa and her team - right on time - managed to close the portal and magically imprison Ihuancao. They did not trust the prison, at first, setting up watch towers in the trench and keeping keen eyes out. Those keen eyes spotted a glowing rock in the trench, which marked the discovery of glow stone and the dawn of a new age of Merfolk Imperialism. It was the flowstone that made Tresora D’Mar the mostly rich and flourishing city beneath the waves. Meanwhile, frozen behind magic he waited for a millennium, until the star must have fallen and destroyed the prison. Now, it seems like he is seeking to continue the quest of dragging Cipactli into this world.
Meanwhile, abord the Mathilda.
The bottle is softly moving back and forth with the wind. Every now and then, it gently bumps into the wood it is suspended from. Captain Catapult and Hal don’t take watch duty quite so seriously, but they are getting this uneasy feeling of being watched. As they look into the waters of the serene deep, however, all they see is the sunlight dancing on the waves. Probably just paranoid after so many weeks at sea. Maybe paranoia is a sign of scurvy? Hopefully the party could bring back some vitamins from the ocean floor.

Thank you for the great game!
Marchi floats in a cloud of red colored water. His whiskers bent, one ear buckled and a trident still stuck to his butt.
He is holding on to the big glowing rock, which came from the worm’s corpse. He is wondering if it made the worm so big and… many-headed… hopefully he can figure a way out to make good use of it for what’s about to come.
If this was just the pet of the demon offspring living down there in the trench… oh boy… Marchi is not sure if going down there is a good idea.
He should have brought the bottle and let the two cursed things deal with each other. This is demon business… not old elven lady, horned seahorse, fox, snake or rabbit business…

Thanks for organizing and DMing! It was such a fun adventure, full of memorable characters. I’m looking forward to part 2!
Disclaimer for voyage of the fallen star players: We will skip May 23rd as a session and play again on June 6. Please also let me know if you’d be open to do an outdoor session on the holiday (june 19th) - so our next sessions would be June 6, June 19, and June 20.
