## Campaign

The players then decided to travel to Varisia for a time, then to Urealms, and then back to Varisia. The players were then picked up by the Wizards of Shapzar during the Christmas Special 2017, ending the campaign. Apparently there was a dragon-father, and a tournament arc or something. Also, the party did do something with Vancouver, a giant tortoise.

And, of course, the age old fable passed down into legend: The story of Alia Darkflame.

The sun blazed over the ruined kingdom of Spain, as it always does. A motley crew of one ninja, two ratfolk, and Ms. Alia and Ms. Ronnoc representing the glorious Darkflame family observed the field of swords and corpses from the shadow of a dune. Neb Aslo and Neniek Delaam, the ratfolk, had especially strong connections to this place: They still remembered fleeing on the day the walls fell, only a decade earlier. But the former glory of Spain was gone, and all this party had their sights on was the treasure within. A shame someone else had claimed it first. Neb Also led the party to the exit he had used, those many years ago when the city lit the night sky with angry flames. They made their way through the narrow, passage. It was still passable, despite a few collapsed area, but when they rounded the first corner, disaster struck. Ms. Alia, the brave knight, stepped out into the hallway, knowing full well it was a trap. She began to run, long strides carrying her forwards into the unknown blackness. And fate answered her challenge a moment late: A ballista bolt, 3 feet of sharpened steel, pierced her pauldron. But did she stop her graceful charge? Nay. The Darkflames' honour was at stake. Her long stride didn't falter for a moment. A second, and a third bolt flew by, clanging off of the walls. But the fourth, oh the fourth. Her enemies were in sight, lurking in the gloom. With a click, the final bolt fired that day was loaded. Ms. Alia brandished her sword, pushing her body to the limits to meet her foe. A clank, and the bolt was loosed. Ms. Alia's hard gaze met those of the ballista operators. And the tip of an arrow filled her vision.

A passing bard noted these words upon hearing this story:

>
> The whole wide world stood still the day,
>
> That Alia kicked the bucket.
>
> Who knew what could've changed that day,
>
> If she had known to duck it.
>

Thus marked the end of the brave Ms. Alia Darkflame. Her sacrifice propagated amongst adventurers, until all knew the dangers of running blindly down a hallway with a hostile manned ballista at the end.

## OOC

The GM, Jeb, allowed players to pick from a list of 3PP classes and races (as follows), as well as allowing certain homebrew items found here (and yet it didn't stop the then newest player from playing a frickin mermaid).
