Nin-RuhConquest of The Corruption
#1
Character:   Calcipheir Fooma

Extra Attendee(s):   Willing members of The First Order, The Clergy, and The Artificier’s Guild (along with willing individuals that are well-versed with the area, hopefully to act as guides for those uncertain amongst the party)

Event Synopsis:   At the bottom of the dim-lit, abandoned, and partially flooded Lasko Mines; lay an eldritch and ancient horror.  Those who enter, seemingly all is as expected, grubs have infested the immediate area and feed on supplies left long past by those who abandoned it. (along with the unlucky adventurer that would come to face their wrath) But below them, even deeper into the mine, where little light could hope to ever reach…  One finds hidden an occult-riddled crevasse of corrupted land, creatures mutated and controlled by the unholy energies emitted by it, and at its core…  A kaor dubbed (by the few who know of him) as, “The Corruptor”.  Fiendish hounds spawn of their corruption, heatstroke and frostbite, guard the lair of those who trespass or threaten it.

It’s uncertain how long this nightmare has been allowed to fester and take root into the surrounding area, though judging from the corruption’s size and the time that it’s been abandoned one could reasonably assume quite some time.  With power to grow, a demon only becomes stronger, unimpeded by human contact.  With a large prey of daemon and creatures that inhabit the depths, it was only natural The Corruptor's lust for blood and power would force its hand.  With the perfect variety of self-sustaining environment for the corruption to exploit, the lack of opposition, and the only rumored or otherwise unspoken knowledge of the demon; it with its (already) overwhelming power poses a major threat.

The demon, if not removed, could lay waste to so much more. (beyond those who would face it) Beyond the lives it has taken and will continue to take, as its corruption spreads so does its control and territory, and while he remains it will continue to do just that.  The land will be corrupted, more creatures will be transmuted and reformed as spawn of the occult and demonic energies.  The only way to stop this, would be to dispose of him, then soon after having the land thoroughly cleansed…  To do this…

A man by the name of Fooma has taken to the aid of a select few within The First Order, The Church, and The Artificier’s Guild.  As a crafter, his lively-hood relies primarily on the land, and he sees this as being a grave threat to the surrounding area.  He hopes to destroy the corruption here, and collect information on it to maybe do something about possible future outbreaks and how to prevent them. (if at all possible)

Tone:   The descent and push to the nest should be eerie, everyone on-edge watching the shadows, watching for what might be lurking. (then) When the corruption lashes out to prevent its impending doom (retaliating and opposing those who’ve treaded the thousand steps) the tone should shift to a valiant and courageous push.  The entire event should keep players on their toes and cautious. (this should be a test of both strength and will)

Risk:   Disregarding the event, there are creatures that spawn here naturally that show a major threat to PCs of any level. (the kaor itself is a 2-shot, and there are daemon here that regenerate as fast as you can damage them) Risk is very high, expect possible great injury. (though unless someone gets really careless, I think it’s fair to assume we can rule out the risk of PC death or casualty) Another major risk being the concentration of this corruption’s power, it could very well influence / impact your character’s mentality. (the onset of occult madness)

Specific Request:   Fooma’s looking to offer those who aid him with a single crafted desirable of choice. (nothing very rare, but he’s T2 and heading into T1 Artificer / decent enough apothecary) Though, this aspect can be done without a DM, the time it would take to get the materials / energy may be unsatisfactory for those who participated.

Notes:   My Discord is MS PAIN (but PG13)#2010 if you have any questions. (thank you for reading, and forgive the bulk of it, first event post)

DM(s):   Anyone who’d take it up, the slot is open.
