Thus reinforced, they set off to the north on Gerhardt's request to investigate reports of problems in a tin mine in the village of Klippestein.Ĭhapter Two: On the road north, the party encountered and dispatched a strange foe: a young wizard cursed by a circlet into a symbiotic relationship with a suit of animated armor. The adventurers also took on a new companion to replace the deceased Nixon: Hayes, a local knight down on his luck. In return for clearing out the cultists from the borderlands, Gerhardt agreed to grant the House of Unger trade concessions, and Phylix agreed to take over the Nordmark branch of the expanding trading house. Interlude: Recuperating in Hugelhold, the surviving adventurers met with the ducal chancellor, Lars Gerhardt, to provide a report and claim their reward. With a badly wounded Hans in tow, the surviving adventurers have set off to complete their journey to Hugelhold, where they've been promised a reward awaits them. In the process, however, the guard Nixon was killed. Storming the cultists' base in a ruined hillfort, the adventurers managed to kill the cult leaders, save Hans and interrupt their demon-making ritual. Sir Wilhelm Kung commissioned Phylix and his guards to go back and wipe out the cultists, which they did - but not without loss. Even as the caravan's defenders were gaining the upper hand on the attackers, a second group appeared at the undefended rear of the caravan and managed to kidnap Phylix's drover Hans. Teaming up with several other merchants warded off some bandit groups, but as they neared safety they were attacked by black-veiled cultists in a careful ambush. But the rough, remote borderlands between civilization and Nordmark were another matter. Phylix hired four caravan guards to help him ward off bandits, and after several uneventful days the guards successfully defeated a raid by a lizardman brigand and his kobold minions. Now he's set out to develop his backwater of a demesne, and among the many orders he's placed for materials to be shipped to Nordmark, one went to the House of Unger. The new duke of Nordmark, Constanz von Halmar, was the urbane baron of Dammereim until marrying the old duke of Nordmark's daughter and inheriting the duchy. A summary of an ongoing 5th edition campaign in the nation of Freistam.Ĭhapter One: Young Phylix Unger, scion of a minor Dammereim merchant house, was given his first solo caravan to command: a run of salt fish from the port city of Dammereim up to the town of Hugelhold in the frontier duchy of Nordmark.
