Ravensholm Campaign

This is a summary of the plot from the Questing Time Ravensholm Campaign, visit here for details on the town of Ravensholm.

### Plot

**Season One**

The Best Friends Club began the series in the city of Westgate where they were commissioned by Mordant Thrubwell, a scribe, to recover a book from the town of Ravensholm. The book was called the "Selcari Histories" and the players asked literally no questions about anything.

Upon arrival, Ravensholm was found to be barricaded and under attack, swarming with hordes of undead. The BFC made their way into the town and settled into a tailor's shop with a small number of other survivors, from here they launched a mission to obtain food from a restaurant called Manganiello's where The Amazing Claire picked up The Butcher's Cleaver.

Observing a curious blue light in the eyes of some of the undead and a similar blue light coming from the church on the south side of town - the team travelled through the sewers to the Church Of The Five Faiths, where they met Skulks the friendly skeleton. Inside the church they defeated a selection of intelligent undead and destroyed a magical crystal, the destruction of which seemed to disrupt the undead army, leaving a few undead to flee the city. Realising the book they were looking for was in the alchemist's shop, they rushed over there and managed to lose the book and blow up the shop.

In recognition of their service to the town Mayor Walter Peck awarded them the deeds to The Phoenix Theatre. The Phoenix Theatre was a rundown building on the corner of Monarch's Square and Perkins Place that gave every appearance of being haunted. Over the next few weeks, the party invited a group of goblins into the property, as well as Skulks and Neil the imp - all of whom now live in the theatre. The BFC were also asked to rescue a baby Owlbear by Regina Cogbottom of Cogbottom's Monstrous Petting Zoo and Activity Centre, which lead them deep into The Elijah Woods and into the middle of a gnoll encampment and then a Drake's den, where they not only rescued the infant Owlbear but Phillin stole a one of the Drake's eggs.

Soon after, Mordant Thrubwell arrived at the theatre to obtain her book and the party had managed to obtain a copy of the Selcari Histories, leading her to direct the party into the tunnels beneath the Church Of The Five Faiths. There, the party discovered an abandoned dungeon that wrought massive psychological effects on the player characters that had absolutely nothing to do with what happened next. The Rough Knight took a Bag of Holding and placed it over a small glowing orb that turned out to be a small portal to the Elemental Plane Of Air - ripping a hole in reality and plunging the players, room and pile of corpses into the Plane Of Air.

Crashing into a floating mountain, the party's boulder of stone crushed a Frost Giant and caused the party to meet Rosenstern and Guildencrantz, planes-walkers from Sigil, The City Of Doors. Attacked by The Gravy Boys, the party jumped into the void and fell towards Cascadia passing a segment of The Destroyed Magical Faraway Tree on the way. It was around this time that Phillin's drake egg hatched, introducing Squeaks to the show.

Cascadia was being attacked by The Gravy Boys as the party arrived and were roundly defeated by the team - as were upwards of 8 bystanders who were crushed by huge debris from the The Destroyed Magical Faraway Tree that the players had blown up because it "looked cool". Here they met the bard, Flynn O'Bannon who flew them into a huge, perpetual storm to infiltrate the Palace Of Gravy and rescue Halcyon Galeforce and The Tower Of Turbulence.

Fleeing the wrath of Lucifer Gravy himself, the party accidentally plane-shifted to Avernus where the Tower Of Turbulence broke down, requiring the BFC to trek over the landscape of Hell and retrieve a volume of demon ichor - exposure to which had already given Claire wings. Hell began to affect the morality of the party, causing serious animosity within the group - this built to a fight between Phillin and Ruff over the dwarf's treatment of Squeaks. The party met and made a deal with Mad Maggie to retrieve a 'trinket' that had been stolen from her and drove off through Hell in some infernal vehicles, chasing several powerful demons along the Fury Road. Having immobilised the demon's vehicle the party took on several incredibly dangerous foes - leading to the death and reincarnation of Phillin Blanks who was torn in half by a Glazebru and then reincarnated as a 7 foot tall Red Dragonborn.

Satisfied, Mad Maggie told the party how to get out of Hell, causing the team to base jump from the flying Tower Of Turbulance into the grounds of Arkhan's Tower, where they met Krull and accidentally cut a dragon in half. Krull offered them a deal to allow them passage in exchange for details of the portal key - the key was the admission of secrets, leading us to learn the true name of The Rough Knight, the secret identity of Rev. Jack Hardcore and the ancestry of The Amazing Claire. Before Phillin stepped through The Rough Knight shot him through the heart with a crossbow bolt, killing him.

Krull healed the dying Phillin and bound him to a debt, before Phillin ran through the portal and joined a fractured party in Sigil, where they discovered an old statue of Phillin (as a halfling) that had sat in the city at the centre of reality for some time.

**Season Two**

Starting in Sigil, the party visited the Smouldering Corpse bar and found accommodations in the Meadow View B&B, owned and operated by Qellan the only nice Mind Flayer. The team wandered into gang territory and murdered a number of gang members and civilians, then accidentally talked themselves into being arrested by The Harmonium for disturbing the peace. Bluffing their way out of jail and then casting spells at random, the team fled into The Hive Ward and all got a series of magical tattoos from the disgraced Dabus, Fell, before heading back to their hotel while avoiding a squad of Gravy Boys, who were hunting them through the city. Also Phillin accidentally joined a cult, The Dustmen.

Seeking the a route home, the party made a deal with Us, a collective of cranium rats who asked the party to deal with a magical beast in the sewers beneath the city. Claire took the chance to leave her cursed cleaver in the sewers. The team was joined by Don Potato, who helped them defeat the beast of the sewers and break into a thieves vault.

During this time, Rev. Jack Hardcore was drawn through a portal into a Demiplane where he met Olga and was tested by fighting his evil twin, Lieutenant\_Jake\_Hateclaw.
