I AM MYTHMASTERING A CAMPAIGN FOR A FEW PLAYERS WHO WILL RECIEVE A PREGEN CHARACTER EACH (AND WILL GET A SOLO INTRO SESSION AS WELL, GETTING THEM UP A FEW LEVELS SO I CAN THROW SOME CRAZY STUFF AT THEM SOONER!) ULTIMATELY LEADING THEM INTO A CORRUPTED FOREST REEKING OF ETUNAHAIMAR, WHERE THEY MUST FIND AND CUT DOWN THE CURSED TREE BEHIND IT ALL...
NOTE: THIS CHARACTER WILL NEED TO RECRUIT WARRIORS IN THE STORY ARC TO AID HIS TINY VILLAGE IN CONQUERING THE
EVIL PRESENCE THAT HAS TAKEN HOLD OF THE FOREST IN HIS HOMELAND.
OTHERWISE, THE EVIL JUST MAY SPREAD...
*IN TOWN INTRO:
AS YOU WAKE IN THE CHILLY MORNING, YOU FEEL THE FIRST OF WINTER IS COMING EARLY.
YOU HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM A SUCCESSFUL WEEK LONG FORAGING TO THE NORTHERN HILLS
WHERE YOU HAVE PROVIDED YOUR FAMILY WITH SOME RARE PUFFBALL FUNGI YOUR MOTHER
ENJOYS PREPARING WITH THE HEN'S EGGS. THESE PUFFBALLS WHEREABOUTS ARE ONLY
KNOWN BY YOUR FAMILY, AND ARE HARVESTED VERY CONCIENTIOUSLY SO THEY RETURN YEARLY.
FEELING VERY SATISFIED WITH YOURSELF,
YOU GO TO YOUR FRIEND MISUS'S YEART JUST AFTER SUNRISE TO SEE IF HE WISHES
TO FISH WITH YOU FOR BREAKFAST. FAMILIAR WITH HIS FAMILY, YOU ANNOUNCE YOURSELF
AND ENTER THE YEART. THE FATHER'S FACE IS HEAVILY FLUSHED AS HE TURNS TO YOU
AND RISES. LOOKING AROUND AT THE FAMILY'S GRAVE FACES, YOU START TO SMELL
A SOURNESS IN THE AIR, AND DO NOT SEE YOUR FRIEND...
THE FATHER (GANN) OF YOUR GOOD FRIEND (MISUS), COMES TO YOU WITH A STRONG LIMP
TRYING TO HIDE HIS GNASHING TEETH WITH EACH STEP
EXPLANING HOW HE, AS THE VILLAGES LEAD HUNTER, LEAD A GROUP OF MEN DOWNSTREAM AND
INTO THE FOREST, TOWARD A SMALL CAMP THEY HAVE MAINTAINED FOR MANY YEARS. EACH
OF THE MEN TOOK POSITIONS IN THE FOREST, PREPARING AND SCOUTING FOR A WORTHY KILL.
HE MENTIONED HOW HE HAD CLIMBED A VERY LARGE TREE TO GAIN SIGHT INTO THE VAST FOREST
AND THAT HE HAD BEEN AMBUSHED BY A RARE CAVE LION. THE LION MUST HAVE BEEN FEASTING
ON A HONEYCOMB, AS THE COLD WEATHER HAD NEWLY INCOMPACITATED THE BEES. THE LION MUST
HAVE FELT THREATENED AS IT POUNCED AT GAAN, KNOCKING HIM OUT OF THE TREE, AND NEARLY
THE LION ITSELF. AS HE LANDED, HIS ANKLE CRACKED SEVERLY ON A STONE, BREAKING IN SEVERAL
PLACES, AND AS HE LIE IN A MOMENTARY SHOCK, HE COULD SEE THE LION, TRYING TO REGAIN
ITS BALANCE ON THE BRANCH HALF WAY UP THE TREE. GAAN BEGAN CRAWLING AWAY TOWARD THE STREAM
WHERE THEIR ROWBOAT AWAIT TETHERED, BUT THEN HE HEARD THE LION SOUNDOUT AS IT BEGAN CLIMBING
DOWN HASTILY. HE HAD NO TIME TO REACH THE PATH TOWARD THE BOAT, SO HE VIGOROUSLY CLAWED
THROUGH THE CLOSEST BRUSH TO GET TO THE STREAM. JUST AS THE LION WAS PUSHING THROUGH TO HIM,
HE DROPPED OFF THE STEEP BANK INTO THE FREEZING STREAM. THE LION WATCHED AND FOLLOWED AS HE
BEGAN SWIMMING TOWARD THE CAMP, WHICH WAS VERY DIFFICULT AGAINST THE DULL CURRENT.
PANICKING FOR HIS LIFE, HE SWAM WITH GREAT HASTE AND RETURNED TO THE VILLAGE WITH ONLY
A FRACTION OF HIS LIFE. BEING ALMOST COMPLETELY NUMB FROM THE COLD, HE COULD NOT RAISE HIS VOICE FOR HELP
AND WALKED THE MILE FROM THE STREAM TO THE VILLAGE. YOU THINK HE MUST'VE DONE SEVERE DAMAGE
WALKING ON HIS ANKLE SO FAR FROM THE STREAM TO HIS HOME.
HE MENTIONS THAT THE MEN HAD NOT RETURNED, AND HOW HE FEARED HIS
SON, WHO HE JUST REVEALED WAS IN THE PARTY, WAS IN GRAVE DANGER. THOUGH HE DID NOT DOUBT HIS SONS SURVIVAL SKILLS
HE FEARED FOR HIM AS A FATHER.
AS YOU ARE LISTENING TO HIS TRAGIC STORY, YOU CAN TELL HE CARRIES A SEVERE PNEMONIA.
PROCESSING THIS INFORMATION, YOU LOOK TOWARD HIS WIFE WHO HIDES HER CONCERNS POORLY.
SHE & HER 2 DAUGHTERS ARE PREPARING THE FOOD STORES CLUMSILY AND SHE IS UNCHARACTERISTICALLY SHORT WITH THEM.
AS YOU MAKE BRIEF EYE CONTACT WITH HER, HER EYES BRING YOU TO HIS ANKLE
WHICH HAS A PUFFY RED INFECTED LOOK CREEPING UP HIS CALF.. THIS COULD BE 'THE ROT', WHICH YOU'VE SEEN AS A BOY.
GAAN DOES NOT SEEM INTERESTED IN TALKING ABOUT HIS HEALTH AND BEGINS MUMBLING ABOUT HIS SON.
YOU PERSONALLY FEEL ALARMED MISUS HAS NOT RETURNED AS THERE IS ONLY ABOUT 1 DAY BEFORE THE STORM HITS.
THE MOTHER CLEARLY DOESN'T WANT HER DAUGHTERS AROUND FOR ANY MORE OF THIS FATEFUL TALE SO SHE SCUFFLES THEM
OUT TO CHECK THE HEAT IN THE CHICKEN COUP.
GAAN SEEMS DISINTERESTED IN THE WOMEN AND CONTINUES TO EXPRESS HIS CONCERN FOR HIS SON, WHOM
HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY PROUD OF AS A YOUNG WARRIOR.
YOU CAN TELL HE HAS MORE TO SAY, BUT HE BEGINS BREATHING HEAVILY AND LIES HIS HEAD BACK...
JUST AS HE CALMS HIS BREATH AND APPEARS TO HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP, HE REACHES BESIDE HIS CHAIR AND PULLS UP
(+2 MOD COLD RESISTANCE) HIS PERSONAL POLAR BEAR CHAPS AND FOREARM FURS AND TOSSES THEM AT YOUR FEET.
HE KNOWS YOU COME FROM A FINE SMALL FAMILY OF FORAGERS WHO PREPARE THEMSELVES WELL, BUT DO NOT HAVE SUCH
FINE FURS FOR BEING OUT IN THIS WEATHER, AS DOES HIS FAMILY, THE WARRIORS WHO BRING MEAT FOR THE VILLAGE.
YOU FEEL A SENSE OF DREAD AS YOU HAVE A FEELING WHAT HE IS ABOUT TO ASK YOU.
TO GO ON A ONE MAN RESCUE MISSION (AS NONE OF THE WARRIORS HAVE YET TO RETURN), JUST BEFORE THE SNOWSTORM...
NOTE: THIS CHARACTER WILL NEED TO RECRUIT WARRIORS IN THE STORY ARC TO AID HIS TINY VILLAGE IN CONQUERING THE
EVIL PRESENCE THAT HAS TAKEN HOLD OF THE FOREST IN HIS HOMELAND.
OTHERWISE, THE EVIL JUST MAY SPREAD...
