3/24/2022 Virtuous Age Session 1: Minotaur Kingdom of Mithras Prelude and the Climb

We begin as Aevum and Zaigan awake in coffins as grave robbing goblins are at their business. One in possession of Aevum’s spell focus. Both heroes escape oil and flame and climb from their coffins. Zaigan gives chase with a discarded shovel. Eabrossi charges for a gore attack- each hero make easy kills against the two. From the shadows, two more armed goblins leap at Aevum and Zaigan. Like the first two, their grave robbing career comes to an end.

Aevum and Zaigan, from the pauper’s grave, travel about an hour to a grand dome to learn of the death of Sanguine, the Queen of Mithras. They both suffer memory loss; their last memory was of a meal.

Here there is much activity and they learn that the Raven clan has returned with information that leads to Zaigan being bonded to Aevum.

Three months of mourning pass called the Summer of Sadness.

During private ceremonies Zaigan completes his bonding with Aevum with Tena participating because of her religious ties.

No one knows what Sanguine died from, while Zaigan’s uncle was decapitated. No one knows what they were doing at the time. They were found at the base of a tree at the Tablelands at the entrance to the Rift.

When Zaigan looked into events he came to learn the graveyard caretaker, Taran Throm was brought in and swore no knowledge of the graves. Throm expressed concern because the graves were for two minotaur children that died a few days before the incident. Concerning because minotaurs don’t get buried in a pauper grave yard.

Kron was pulled into the story by his ability to speak giant via the Rainsong clan eventually becoming friends with Zaigan. Eabrossi comes into the group keeping time in combat with a frame drum and a hum.

We eventually come together and Kron tells Tena about seeing an Agamotto symbol on the mountain while on a climb. A few days later we venture to the area to investigate. Here we encounter magamen. We kill all but one.

After about an hour it is Tena’s magic sensitivity (detecting magic) we begin to ascend. At the symbol, Kron finds man sized footprints. The symbol is familiar to Aevum and activates to his focus revealing a passages, doors, and rooms. Inside we encounter doomsayers of THE GREAT CORRUPTOR who are at work defacing the edifice.
