Wrath of the Grail Arc

The Wrath of the Grail Arc is the first arc of The Holy Grail Campaign.

It centers around the Infernal Genesis team and their attempt to get the The Holy Grail.

## Summary

The adventuring party Infernal Genesis arrive at a dungeon located in the country of Syfon. Sir Bruh of Dam, Cassim, Mar'khovis Grunlow, Molly, and Charmara Little-Leaf reach the entrance and meet with a man named "Gil" who had told them the supposed location of the Holy Grail. After he wishes them luck, Gil disappears and the team enters the dungeon.

During their trip through the dungeon, they encounter a minotaur, nothics, traps, and puzzles, at one point running into Gil yet again who offers to help with a puzzle. The group denies his help however, and he vanishes. Upon reaching a large door, the group meets Sir Shuckleheimer who tells them they wouldn't be able to open the door unless they pay him, but mentions a man had managed to pass right through without his help just a little before the group. They then pays Shuckleheimer with the gold they found in the previous room and Shuckleheimer let's them through.

Infernal Genesis then meets Lancer who points out a a woman who is in the room with them. As the group tries to approach her, the woman proceeds to reach for the sword and the group backs up. She gets irritated and proceeds to attack. Suddenly, Mar'khovis is transported to an unknown place, seeing a woman with white hair and red eyes. She proceeds to tell him that she can help the group stop the woman, but he must release the wrath of the grail as a result. Mar'khovis agrees, releasing the wrath of the grail and returning back to the group.

Mar'khovis returns to the same moment he had left, however immediately after, the woman suddenly begins to disappear, being sucked into a cup on a pedestal. The group talks with Lancer a bit, learning about his past and that he's from Irenia. He explains how his master Cú Chulainn was killed by Gilgamesh, and now he wants to use the grail to repair his homeland.

The group reaches a room where they are asked to sacrifice something important for their goal where Lancer promptly cuts off his arm. The offering was accepted and the party proceeded down a staircase.

The group sees a chalice, believing it to be the holy grail. However, Gil is there as well, who reveals himself to be Gilgamesh. Lancer proceeds to fight against Gilgamesh alone while the group retrieves the grail.

Infernal Genesis is transported to the same plane Mar'khovis had ended up in before. There, they meet the woman who had talked to Mar'khovis. She explains she can help the group defeat was is actually a projection of the real Gilgamesh, but the grail they found is not actually the Greater Grail, but a lesser grail. Accepting the woman's power, they are transported back.

Because they are gathering the power from the grail, they are unable to move and are forced to watch Gilgamesh defeat Lancer in battle, however they fight Gilgamesh's projection and win. Helping Lancer up, they proceed to leave the dungeon.

The group tries to decide on their next course of action and choose to return to East-West Town with Lancer joining them. Making their way through the Syfon forest, they encountrer a woman running from a owlbear. The party decides to help her, defeating the owlbear along with a few direwolves.
