LIGHTNING KEEP

Lightning Keep was the first HOPE dnd campaign. This campaign had the characters Marvin Steve Wells, Soup horse, Danneigh, and Acorn. The dungeon master, Connor, decided to also play as a character while being a DM. This was the only time they decided to do this because they felt like their character didn't do much.

Lightning Keep starts with Marvin and Soup horse at a tavern, Marvin is the towns sheriff and Soup horse as his trusty stead. Notorious rouges Danneigh and Acorn rob the tavern of it's gold and run off. Marvin rides Soup horse to chase them, but they run into a giant stone. The stone is inscribed with a story:

"**A marauding dragon has laid waste to numerous villages, devouring some residents while displacing others. It strikes without mercy. No one knows where it came from, where it lairs, or how long it intends to terrorize the realm.**

**But there is hope. Long ago, a werewolf knight of great valor used her wealth to raise a bastion at the edge of the wilderness. This castle had the power to generate a lightning shield around itself—a shield powerful enough to break sieges and keep monsters at bay. The castle was abandoned shortly after the knight passed away. By then, peace had settled across the land, making the stronghold unnecessary."**

A young boy pops up behind the boulder, as he was the one reading the tale and then asks the group to come help his village restore this keep because his village was being terrorized by the dragon. Marvin and Danneigh then proceeded to try and kill the young boy, but then take on his request along with the rest of the group.

After an encounter with a naked old bard it started to rain, they then set up camp as Marvin malfunctioned from being a robot and all. While trying to help a cat scratches inside Marvin's chest cavity. A cat, Piss Cat, had been the power source for Marvin this entire time. They feed the cat soup, from Soup Horse, and then slept the night away. The next morning they finally found the keep, but a hooligan had come up to them and told them to be careful of wolves. Marvin and Danneigh proceeded to kill him. Then they dealt with the 8 hungry wolves, they feed most of them soup except for one that was given a bone from Danneigh and now followed him for the next 24 hours.

Inside the keep they had to find 6 lightning rods to activate a protective shield around the place. They went to the outhouse and made Piss Cat talk to them, they gave them a key that can open any door in return. When they went to the Kitchen they found a well, where Marvin proceeded to flirt so bad he pushed Danneigh down it. Marvin completely lacks rizz. There was a giant water weird down there anyway so they had to go down anyway. After defeating the weird they found the first lightning rod. The next place was the Gallery where both Danneigh and Marvin tried to flirt with a painting, Marvin got friend zoned while Danneigh got a nat 20. The rest of the rods were in the Armory, a 2 bedrooms, and a private study. In the private study they also found 30 blue jade rings which everyone proceeded to eat, when Marvin ate them they all landed inside the chest cavity with Piss Cat. They placed the rods in there places and the field was cast, wearing the blue jade rings made sure they wouldn't get struck.

They let the village know about the keep being ready and handed out the blue jade rings to the citizens. Their next goal was to find the dragon that tormented these people and kill it. They went back up the kid that led them to the keep and asked for a map to the dragon. Marvin and Danneigh then tried to kill him again and succeeded as he bled to death. They followed the map and path of dragon prints till they ended. They decided to rest for the night and look for the dragon in the morning. On that night around the campfire they made Marvin sang the Josh Hutcherson edit version of Whistle to swoon Danneigh. The next morning they continued to walk through the forest and found out there was an invisible wall into the dragons cave. The ran into a few enderman before having to face the dragon. Danneigh decided to try and flirt with the dragon using his changeling abilities to turn into a little dragon of his own. His two attempts failed, but they defeated the dragon with the power of a FNAF fan song sang by each party member as a team move.

The campaign ended with them with the dragon egg that appeared after killing the Ender dragon. It was put in Dannieghs junk bag to never be touched again. The rivalry between Marvin and Soup horse vs Danneigh and Acorn continued because Marvin still wanted to arrest Danneigh and Acorn even after their heartfelt friend making adventure.
