Longest Road
Contents
Description
Continuation of Alpha-Bravo, under new GMship. The Longest Road (as one might guess from the name) is a Planes-trekking adventure with our dear old friends from Alpha-Bravo. Characters are beginning at 14th level, with ECL figured into that. And what a crazy assortment of characters they are...
Brief plot synopsis: several artifacts known as the Orbs of Dragonkind have gone missing, all at once. There's a centuries-old dragon war going on. The demons of the Abyss are somehow now involved in it too. Sil has had a vision of the dragon god Bahamut lying bleeding from the neck, a vision that left her with a splitting headache and growing sense of dread. The PCs have some orbs; the ones they have seem to vary from run to run. The Church of Tamara have two: white and blue. The red orb has been entrusted to That Old Man for safekeeping, or at least hiding. Four supposedly remain; the green and black are in the hands of an abyssal lord, Pazuzu, and the bronze on the Plane of Water. The party is currently on the Plane of Water looking for it, and getting sucked into merfolk politics.
Orbs we have as of the last run: Gold, Silver, Copper.
