A Leson In Agony

Written By: Chris Colland

Brief: While in Moutesque, the Adventurers are lead to a Obsidian Black Chamber used for Ancient Magics by the Order of Oblivion’s Edge. In it sets a box that weakens the furious spirits of mages belonging to the Order of Oblivion’s Edge. A shared sacrifice of Agony must be made to keep the spirits weakened.

  • Run on Friday Night

    • Synopsis: High Archon Solomon Zeneth leads the players to a an Obisdian Black Chamber used for Ancient Magics by the Order of Oblivion’ s Edge. In the chamber is a black cold iron box, if one puts their hand inside they can weaken the summoned spirits in the room to a manageable level. This Ritual Box is not able to be moved from the floor as it is part of the room. This room is known to the Order as the Agony Chamber, the shared agony of spirits can be channeled to weaken spirits in the room. Solomon Zeneth will begin to call to them, the spirits are his dead fallen comrades and he wants them put to rest.
