Piranha Dragon

The **Piranha Dragon** is an abnormally large mutant Piranha Plant with a ring of petals on his head, much like Petey Piranha, and is the first boss that Mario or Luigi encounter. He is the boss of Floating Fields, fought in Cloudvine Armoury. Before the fight, he is sleeping, but Bowser Jr. throws a large rock at him, causing him to awaken, and Bowser Jr. gives the rock to Mario and leaves the area, making Piranha Dragon think that Mario threw the rock at him.

## Appearance

Piranha Dragon looks like Greenasaur from Monster Legends and Petey Piranha from the other mario games. At the tip of his tail, he has a Piranha Plant and on his head is a Fire Piranha Plant. Piranha Dragon was about the size as New Super Mario Bros Bowser.

## Strategy

The Piranha Dragon‘s strategy is like a mix between New Super Mario Bros DS Bowser’s, Mega Goomba’s, and Petey Piranha‘s. He attacks mario by shooting fireballs at him and flying up high, attempting to crush Mario or Luigi beneath him with a move similar to the Ground Pound. After attacking, Piranha Dragon springs off the floor and lands on his back. Then, Mario or Luigi can attack him. Another way either can attack Piranha Dragon is to hit a ?-Switch in a hole and two mushrooms will appear. When either goes on top of the Mushroom, Mario or Luigi can jump onto Piranha Dragon’s head while he is flying. After two hits, Piranha Dragon starts his attack by jumping from side to side and all of his heads start shooting fireballs at either. Once defeated, Piranha Dragon falls from the air, slips in clumsiness and attempts to get up while glowing a white light, shrinking, and exploding revealing the key to World 2.

## Milita

The town operated a defense force called "The Twelve", which consisted of 12 fearsome warriors who were constantly mounted upon horses.

## Mystic Obscura In Triboar

The group were there for both the attack by the Giants, and the subsequent find of the Goliath Finger. They purchased a farm within the Town, before heading off for more adventures.

Amrath attacked the town at some point after they left with a group of mercenaries, but was defeated by the Lord Protector and other folk of **Triboar**, alongside Janak.

Triboar was once again assailed by The Black Lodge, who seemingly killed at least Darz, before kidnapping Emmalee and taking Janak hostage.

Amrath constantly began attacking the town, until he killed Darathra herself. The town chipped in for Darathra's resurrection, but Amrath still evaded them.

Mystic Obscura returned to Triboar, before heading to their home at Summervale Farm, where they defeated Davon Skinner and The Black Lodge, finally ending their battle with the evil leader of The Black Lodge.

Edrick Mistborn and family were due to arrive in Triboar, as refugees from Waterdeep and to escape Ada Mistborn's wrath. They were set to buy the tavern Arannis had been captured in, to keep a watch on the locals and aid Mystic Obscura.

As Mystic Obscura returned for a rest from their missions, they spent roughly a month of so in the town of Triboar. Most notably, they bough the Triboar arms for Edrick and Briar came to live at Summervale Farm, where she met and was smitten with Emmalee. Janak was also cured of his form by Adrie, finally being free to be who he was.

It was, unfortunately, also the place where Hector went crazy and murdered a group of farm hands alongside Mystic Obscura's halfing maid, Tabitha.

At some point, Darathra the Lord Protector was killed, with a member of the Zhentarim taking over in her place.

## Interactions With Mystic Obscura

Xanathar was working with both Drada Zeltine and Garhan; of the Molten River Clan, when Mystic Obscura killed them and released their dragon wyrmlings into the world. Frustrated by this interference, Xanathar hired The Black Lodge to kill Mystic Obscura.

Over the course of the next year, Mystic Obscura escaped Xanathar's grasped, and managed to kill all but two members of The Black Lodge, with Lusk siding with them and informing them of Davon's (The Black Lodge leader) position.

Annoyed by this, and as Mystic Obscura vanished mysteriously for over 4 months, Xanathar sent Davon to Summervale Farm; where Mystic Obscura lived, and took Emmalee Forester, one of their charges, and kept her with him, while Davon tortured their wizard friend, Janak.

Xanathar ordered his men, one of them being Janak's imprisoned husband Elison, to meet with Mystic Obscura when they arranged a meeting with him. Xanathar himself stayed in the back, sizing up Mystic Obscura as it was revealed he didn't want them dead, and that Emmalee would be returned to them in the morning. He asked them to deal with The Zhentarim Mercenaries in Yartar, as they were bad for business.

Upon asking if he had the artifact, Xanathar himself spoke, stating he did. And that they could get it back... should they kill his rival, Dissumusk. The group agreed to think on it, with Xanathar giving them till morning.

Xanathar found Mystic Obscura asleep on the stone steps of one of his many pavilions, and after meeting up with Jarlaxle, an ally within Skullport, Jarlaxle convinced Xanathar to resurrect Aegon Loneblade, in exchange for his favor being paid.

Upon defeating Janak upon discovery and turning him into a different version of a human, before again transforming him into a chicken, Vibaem stole many books, including one on Barovia and others on Demon Worshipping.

Vibaem threatened to kill anyone Balasar revealed his secret (that Vibaem was attached to him) too. When Bird threatened Balasar, Vibaem appeared and threatened the Fae himself. The two fought for a while, before Bird vanishing. Vibaem explained to Balasar he wasn't always with him, and asked for the name of the Man they had gone to save at Summervale Farm. Balasar refused to give the information, leaving Vibaem frustrated with his inability to pierce Balasar's mind.

Vibaem eventually contacted Balasar again, when he heard the group were planning to head to Candlekeep, however, Vibaem warned him he'd hurt his friends if Balasar didn't stop them. After failing to convince the group, Balasar was confronted by Arannis. Vibaem took over and turned the elf to stone, before revealing himself to be inside of Balasar to the rest of the group.

Vibaem was strangely quiet when Mystic Obscura headed to Last Light to get help. He did, however, attempt to intervene when the Unicorn Kaisa attempted to banish him, only to be stopped by the cured Arannis, who blocked his spell and allowed Kaisa to vanquish Vibaem into Balasar's cape, rather than him.

They parted ways, with Dissumusk warning the others never to return. Only Eloithe. Eloithe returned upon realizing that the vampire Dissumusk spoke of was her sister. Dissumusk gave her two years to return, or he would eat her family for her failure. She agreed to return in time.

Dissumusk grew bored of waiting for Eloithe, kidnapping her brother and friend Emmalee, and held them hostage, as a lure for Mystic Obscura to find him. Fighting bravely, the group fought with the Mind Flayer, with Arannis eventually killing him, but not before Aegon was slaughtered by Dissumusk, the Mind Flayer dying with a taste of Half Orc in his mouth.

2) It's not clear which of the Cunningham Sisters got killed by Aegon and which by Eloithe
Professor Impossible

## Background

Not much is known about Professor Impossible. He rented a shop basement in the Town of Bryn Shander. He was a genius who built constructs made from both magic and clockwork.

## Interactions With Mystic Obscura

Professor Impossible was fought and defeated by Mystic Obscura, although he did claim a life by killed Adrie during the battle. He was incinerated upon death.
Waterdeep

## The City of Splenders

**i**s the most important and influential city in the North and perhaps in all Faerûn. Waterdeep was named for its outstanding natural deep-water harbor, and the city that grew up at this site became the commercial crossroads of the northern Realms. More than 100,000 people made their home in Waterdeep. It is a large city that is split into wards such as the Seaward, the Northward, the Castleward, the Docksward, the Tradesward, and the City of the Dead. Waterdeep is a metropolis to humans and an abundance of races. There are taverns spread across the city to suit every type of traveler, and Temples scatter the town for the many different religions, both good and evil.

At least Two other Adventuring Parties operated out of Waterdeep, those being The Black Lodge and Grey Force.

## Mystic Obscura in Waterdeep

Mystic Obscura resided in a tavern located in the Castleward called the Eagle And Priest Tavern. At the return of their most recent quest (Session 5) they learnt that their usual Tavern is under construction and have made a temporary home at The Blue-Tailed Mermaid, located in the Dockward.

The group eventually were forced out of Waterdeep by Xanathar, who sent the Black Lodge after them, upon learning of their messing in his business with Drada and The Molten River Clan. The group returned upon defeating the Black Lodge, learning Lady Ada Mistborn had killed her and Eloithe's father, and that Xanathar wished to meet.

In the meeting, Xanathar released Emmalee Forester back to the group, and asked them to take care of Dissumusk down in Skullport, in exchange for Adrie's artifact back. The group were arrested and held, accused of killing Eloithe's father, but were eventually freed by Jarlaxle, a drow elf captain who wanted to help them, for all the good they were doing. Around the same time, a young gold dragon had moved into the bay, looking for something under the water. The group eventually left Waterdeep, instead heading North to find the Giant Harshnag.
Artis Symber

## Background

Artis Symber was a very old man, who had been granted immortality and eternal life by some kind of higher being that gave him a ring, which reportedly granted these effects. He was the one the Giants were looking for in both Triboar and Bryn Shander. At some point, he had a son; Serrac, who informed Mystic Obscura of these details.
Everlund

**Everlund** was a city of merchant traders and caravan teams and was one of the greatest supporters of the league of the Silver Marches, leaving the Lords' Alliance after it would not partake within the war. The city was located south of Silverymoon and was a specific trade route between the two.

## Mystic Obscura In Everlund

Arriving within the city, the group headed to the Dreaming Dragon where they purchased drinks and enjoyed themselves. Arannis bought books from one of the various book shops within the city, before they headed to the , where they were taken to Moongleam Tower, which existed in it's own pocket dimension.

## Notable Locations

Cainon Hallowell

## Background

Cainon was formally a member of the Hallowell family, a noble family well known throughout Faerun for their wealth and prosperity. Growing up alongside his brother, he came to love a woman who in the end couldn't be his. Instead, his calculating and cruel brother was too marry her. Wishing to save his love, Cainon learnt magic, but was banished from his family for attempting to stop the wedding. He left, heading out into the world, and into the unknown.

## Meeting Myastan Balasar

Upon travelling for many years, in his thirties, he met a starving, and on the verge of death Dragonborn who went by the name of Myastan Balasar. Cainon took Balasar in, training him in the ways of the arts of Magic. As this was going on, Cainon's brother, ended up marrying the love of Cainon's life, and was vicious and cruel to her. Cainon, who had been banished from his family for speaking out, would often tell Balasar he should go back and kill his brother, to save her. Balasar held Cainon back each time, stating that it wasn't good for him. After one of these situations, Cainon and Balasar ended up fighting with each other, physically, before heading their separate ways.

## A Cruel Twist Of Fate

Heading back North, Cainon attempted to get back to his love, but upon his arrival, he was sold into slavery by his Family after once again attempting to intervene. Years past, and Cainon eventually grew older as a slave, but found a Mind Flayer who was willing to make a deal with him, for Cainon's freedom. Cainon, a free man once more, headed back to save his love yet again, but this time found out she had been beaten to death by his brother. Seeking revenge, it was to Cainon's rage that he found his brother also to be dead, killed in a drunken fight a few years later.

Having only one person left to blame, Cainon set out to find the Dragonborn who had stopped him going back years before...

## The Showdown

Cainon eventually tracked down Balasar, and his now fully formed adventuring party, Mystic Obscura. Kidnapping one of the members; Arannis Galandal, Cainon held him hostage (and removed his hands and one ear.) to make sure the Adventuring Party got his message. He contracted an Oni into helping him, promising him rewards of flesh and gold.

As the battle began, Cainon put up a terrific fight, and even managed to knock Maximilian unconscious. It wasn't; however, enough, and after a vicious fight, he was eventually taken down the combined efforts of the group; the finishing blow being dealt by the one he had kidnapped, signing his own fate. As Cainon died, his last sight was of an elf stood over him, telling him that "Compared to what we faced, you're fuck all."
Garhan - Skinner of Men

## Background

Garhan was the Lieutenant for Agronak's armies. He was known as the Skinner of Men, a title that gave itself to his fierce reputation upon the battlefield.

## Interactions With Mystic Obscura

Garhan noticed Arannis in an Orc Inn, In Skullport, leaving the site disgusted at the elf with Agronak.

## Death

He had been making some deals with the Drow in Skullport, when he was killed by a young black dragon after Mystic Obscura convinced it to attack him.
The Lords' Alliance

## Background

The Lord's Alliance were a governing force of Good, who put their agents within cities to stop attacks by unlawful and evil creatures. They worked in cohesion with The Harpers, often sharing information and tactics, and in some cases resources; such as Random The Red, who helped them both with their quests and information.

At some point in time, Silverymoon abandoned the Lords' Alliance, after it would not come to the aid in the War of the Silver Marshes.

The Lord of Neverwinter, Dagult Neverember was also a member of the Lord's Alliance who helped Mystic Obscura reach Svardborg, on their quest for the Giant Conches.
Zeb

## Background

Zeb was the leader of Last Light, who was the former mentor of the adventuring group The Troubleshooters (See Episodes: The Things We Leave Behind) and eventually helped Mystic Obscura to save Arannis Galandal after he was taken by the dragon Blik.

## Interactions With Mystic Obscura

Mystic Obscura encountered Zeb who saved them from Blik's cells, and lead them back to Last Light. He also helped them fight the evil wizard Hewgrove, who worked for Blik. He was left in charge of Last Light once again, when Mystic Obscura enlisted Kaisa's help and ended up sending her back to the celestial plane she came from.

## Trivia

- Joey played Zeb in the series The Things We Leave Behind. See the Episodes section for more information on this mini series.
Drada Zeltine

Not only is Drada Zeltine one of the Drow, she has caused numerous issues with Waterdeep and the communities surrounding it. She has personally led numerous sieges on small communities, several slave runs to capture elves and humanoid creatures on the surface and brought them back to the Drow cities. She has escaped capture time and time again and is constantly being pushed out of Skull Port, even by other Skullkers.

## **Interactions With Mystic Obscura**

According to Random the Red, she was seen in Skullport meeting with Orcs and other creatures. If she is back in Waterdeep, then she is looking to harm the community again, and Random has asked Mystic Obscura to take her out, but without making much fuss about it. It was hinted; by Random, her capture would be even better.

She knocked over Lady Eloithe in the streets of Skullport, foolishly ignoring the other woman as she went, and ended up giving of her name to the warlock. She was followed by Plink and Zelda, where she went ahead and did some kind of deal with Garhan, a high ranking official from Agronak's army.

## **Death**

She was killed by Aegon, failing to answer his question, as she was immediately struck by a javelin from the half orc. Her body was spat on by Arannis, who also took her ring, while sneering at the body for unknown reasons.
Darz Helgar

## Background

While not much is known about his childhood, as he grew up, Darz was a member of the Thieve's Guild of Neverwinter. He eventually met and fell in love with Ellywick Hollyheart, who was a annoyance to the Guild. At some point, the Guild ordered Darz to release a man named the Weevil on her. After a vicious fight that led to Ellywick leaving Neverwinter for good, Darz felt betrayed by his Guild, and left, searching out for a new life.

## Interactions With Mystic Obscura

When the Giants attacked Triboar, Darz arrived late to the battle, helping to heal and collect bodies. He spotted Elly among the battlefield, and they each gave each other a look that suggested they had had a long and torrid past.

At the Triage, where the citizens and soldiers of Triboar were recovering, he encountered both Lady Eloithe and Maximilian.

Lady Eloithe came to find him once again, stating that Darathra had said he would make a good caretaker for Summervale Farm. Despite his displeasure, he agreed to do it, even cutting the price for Plink. When pressed upon this, he told Eloithe to tell Plink he still loved her.

As Mystic Obscura began to leave Triboar, Ellywick came forward to meet Darz. She stated that he shouldn't make discounts for her, throwing a bag of gold at his feet. He refused the money, saying he didn't do it out of anything other then the love he felt for her. Elly left, taking the money with her, and bidding him farewell... for now.

He at one point sent Myastan Balasar a message to let the group know Amrath had attacked Triboar with a small group of mercenaries, and that while the situation was handled, they could do with the Parties assistance to decide what to do next with them.

Upon meeting Janak, who had come back to deal with Amrath and handle the farm, he had been relaying stories of his days with Ellywick back in Neverwinter, some of them extremely X Rated.

Darz was apparently killed during the raid of Summervale Farm, by Davon Skinner. It was confirmed when Mystic Obscura fought him, and he used Darz' corpse to fight them. Ellywick got her revenge, killing Davon after Arannis had knocked him out. She buried Darz' ashes under a tree, and said one tearful goodbye.
Asmodeus

## Background

Asmodeus was the King of the Nine Hells. A deity by his own right, he was known as the Father of the Hells.

He at some point made a deal with Emmalee Forester, turning her into a warlock with a pact.

## Interactions With Mystic Obscura

Asmodeus contacted the group during Emmalee Forester's resurrection ritual. He claimed that the group could have her back from his clutches, but that they would have to make a deal. After reluctance from Lady Eloithe Mistborn, Asmodeus promised to release Emmalee from her pact if she did so. Making the deal, he informed them that they would find out what he wanted from them in the future, but that two members of The Black Lodge were hiding in Luskan, while Davon Skinner was currently hidden from him, but he would find him soon enough.

He told Arannis Galandal that Lord Strahd had not forgotten he had escaped his deal, and would be looking for him. With that, he released Emmalee from the pact and brought her back to life.

He kidnapped Eloithe upon her death, dragging her to his hell and tormenting her with the idea that she had lost anything. However, he was surprised (and even appeared frightened.) as Bahamut, The Platinum Dragon, deity of the good dragons and people arrived. He insulted Asmodeus on his own throne, and even held back the King of the Nine Hells when he attempted to stop Eloithe being revived.
Othovir Margaster

## Background

Othovir was a former member of the Margaster Family. He left the family after they fell from grace, and began worshipping demons and performing horrific acts. At some point, he met a very young Lady Eloithe Mistborn.

He eventually moved to the town of Triboar, where he set up his business which eventually became incredibly famous throughout the lands, many Nobles using his store.

## Interactions With Mystic Obscura

Othovir found Lady Eloithe and Maximilian Cognitionis in the Northshield Tavern. He informed Eloithe that he recognized her, but wouldn't reveal her identity. He informed them of a place where his family kept magical items that might be useful to their party. When questioned why he'd do this for them, he stated he hated his family and would love to see them weakened, even just a little. He also knew that Mystic Obscura were doing good, and that this would help them do more. With that, he bid them goodnight.
