Opted to go ahead and start re-streaming our Extinction Curse campaign, with the game just yesterday. Since I have everything set up for the Carrion Crown campaign, it is pretty simple to repeat the same process for Extinction Curse, or any other campaign, so I figured why not. Plus it gives me an alternate option for testing and fine tuning with additional content.
As an update to the story, we are now in Chapter 4, and the group is adventuring near the town of Willowside. There are rumors and indications of Xulgath in the region, attacked settlers and otherwise massing for some purpose. The party was dispatched to Fortune’s Hall, a nearby gambling establishment, to investigate why contact was lost several weeks ago. Since it is several hours away from town, there are concerns that the Xulgaths have killed or captured the owners.
With a bit of surprise however, the group discovered that the Hall had actually been occupied by Fey, who using illusion and charm magic had killed or trapped everyone. Slowly they starve to death, which believing the illusion that they are full and happy with magical food. After a bit of combat, the group has apparently defeated the Fey, and have located what they believe is the invisible portal that allows the creatures to arrive from the First World.
At this point, exhausted and fatigued from their combats, the group has returned to the main town, to provide aid to the survivors that they rescued, with plans to return and permanently close the portal. However, the group is also considering perhaps making a journey into the unknown – stepping thru the portal to face the fey directly in their home world.
