 ====== The Wretched Crusade ======
-The land of Barrow's Maw has played host to many adventurers, both fair and foul, in its history.  However, few compare in their infamy with the one known as the [[:wretch|Wretched Crawler]].  A necromancier, once native to the Ohm Basin, who fell afoul of ambition and lust for power, who forged pacts with all manner of foul beings in its quest for mastery over life and death.  Shedding its mortal visage to become an immortal undead creature known as a Lich, the Wretched Crawler abandoned the Basin and its former colleagues.  Like a cancer, it settled in the badlands north of the Merric Wood and began fortifying an abandoned fortress, while harassing residents as a petty warlord, in an effort to accrue more of the region's lost knowledge and hidden arcane power.

+In time, the Crawler's presence within the Basin could not be tolerated by the good and godly. The adventurers of the Ohm Bastion, a local guild dedicated to peace and friendship, organized an effort to end the Crawler's dominion over the Merric Wood and to put the foul creature at last to its Final Rest.
+What they could not have realized at the time, was The Crawler's final resting place being its own personal demiplane.  The citadel in the Merric Wood served only as a gateway into The Crawler's [[:world_lore:s1:nations_and_cultures#the_wretched_plane|Wretched Plane]], a nightmare realm of death and despair populated by a small kingdom of minions and monsters The Crawler had cultivated to its own ends.
+Undaughted by the task before them, the crusaders of the Ohm Bastion plunged into the lifeless heart of the Crawler's domain, to wage endless war on an eternal being.  With the Crusaders long since departed and the Age of Fire coming to a close, it is not known what has become of the Crusade.  Perhaps they were extinguished by the grasping skeletal hands of the Lich Lord.  Or perhaps they perserver, their glorious holy light a candle flickering in the void.

 ==== NPCs: ====
 (Only those NPCs which the party knew beforehand.)

Keyleth has long since Paragoned and has been crusading around the Wretch Plane. Unfortunately, no one woman can match the Wretch Plane’s resources— but Keyleth has certainly been trying. ((Keyleth is another former PC of Dusty; Dusty opted to play Ava instead and handed Keyleth to the DM for this adventure.))
-  * **Equine Liberation Front:**
-    * An organization of centaurs and other sentients advocating for the freedom of all hoofed beings. The ELF has now been reported as being in active collaboration with Wretch's Forces, and have proclaimed the Crawler an ally to Equine Freedom.

 Without so much as a word or gesture, Ava disappears from the window and instantly reappears before him. She looks up at him appraisingly. "It seems only yesterday you were that neophyte your predecessor was leading into certain doom."

 She scowls slightly as she continues, "Regarding those matters, I have sent out the call to the old and powerful here in Barrow's Maw, and they shall enter the plane with us. And rest assured, what I have are no mere tricks. I am the natural enemy of the undead, and I will obliterate them or bend them to my will as it suits me. Even the Wretch himself will be powerless once we are properly prepared to face him."
-"Well, my approach is...somewhat different, but I get similar results at the end of the day" Earcorn says, reflexively putting his hand on a scroll tied to his belt. "Differences in methodology aside, I can't help but think we're going to get along just fine, Ava. Assuming we aren't both killed and turned into undead thralls, a mockery of what we once were in life, heh. Then again we'll probably get along ok if that happens too!"

+Even with the //Avoid Planar Effects//  spell, the Wretch Plane presented some very nasty natural terrain: Any healing spell, due to some foul bent, required a check or else fizzled. Teleportation was inadvisable; the entire plane was under some massive redirect and any attempt to so much as //Dimension Door//  forced a separate save for each teleportee, or else get teleported to the Bad Zone. Most subtle of all, for every hour spent in the Wretch Plane, ten hours would pass in the outside world. And of course the portal previously allowing admission to the plane was sealed. The party would have to find a way in, then likely trek across the entire plane to the Crawler's fortress. And so the party prepared.

+Earcorn obtained items and derived spells to overcome the Healing check. Ava invented arcane dweomers to use specifically against liches. Kyrry mastered //Avoid Planar Effects//, hoping to avoid the negative energies (though not the injunction against healing and teleportation). Val did kobold things. And Rainer? Rainer tried to find a way onto the plane in the first place…

+  * The Wretch Plane basic layout- several major cities, ruled by more minor liches and other minons subservient to Wretch, things are typically build out of bone. Wretch Fortress in the center. Evil Fucking river.
+  * The River debate (Earcorn drinks??) What the river does, approximately & to the parties’ understanding (max HP loss, vile damage which is nearly as bad, gives Tomb-Tainted Soul and Inflict SLAs).
+  * Making the Fork, researching and acquiring ingredients. Kyrry donates blood.

+ENTERING THE PLANE
-<WRAP hide>
+Rainer plane shifts into the Void Ava casts Overland Flight on herself and uses her Belt of Giant Strength +6 (kinda weird for a wizard) to drag everyone from no-grav void back to solid land. Meetup with Keyleth.
-* Discussion of the actual Planar effects, Teleport-inhibiting and Healing-inhibiting.
-* No Rope Trick because Wretch specifically retooled the entire plane following the previous incursion.
+FIT THE SECOND: //Wigglethum’s Wands and Wickedness//
-* The Wretch Plane basic layout- several major cities, ruled by more minor liches and other minons subservient to Wretch, things are typically build out of bone. Wretch Fortress in the center. Evil Fucking river.
-* The River debate (Earcorn drinks??) What the river does, approximately & to the parties’ understanding (max HP loss, vile damage which is nearly as bad, gives Tomb-Tainted Soul and Inflict SLAs).
+  * Man with the dog-skull beard (glows slightly)
-* Making the Fork, researching and acquiring ingredients. Kyrry donates blood.
+  * Various terrible Wares: Earcorn wants to by a scroll of Clutch of Orcus, stock in the back of Nipple Clamps of Exquisite Pain, etc… Ava buys a scroll to transcribe.
-* Gearing up
+  * Ava goes to apprentice/cashier and asks for Wigglethum:
-</WRAP>
+  * Like a wizard-shaped hole in Reality, with a hat taller than he is, Wigglethum appears. Cashier has the awe and fear of seeing a Nephlihim.
+  * Ava has already taken a few of Wigglethum’s spells from the book. Mostly evil, negative energy, some mass drain life and turn into damage effects. Some grey-elf-targeted spells, including elf-only Slay Living at lower level; Wigglethum (or his apprentice? unclear) apparently really really really hates one specific gray elf (possibly the lich that shows up later?).
+  * Ava gives back spellbook. Wigglethum hands over wand— it appears to be very cursed. Resists Identify.
+  * Val asks where Wigglethum got the awesome hat. Wigglethum hands over business card recommending Eld; (talk about Eld the Elder, Eld the Younger, the arm Lich). Ava does skill checks on the common superstition that bigger hat = more magic; it’s a superstition, but by the Power of Mortal Belief, might actually be marginally true. Ava grudgingly agrees to come with Val to get at hat made; feeling ridiculous is a msall price to pay for any sliver of magical power (Val informs her that looking ridiciousl is itself part of the price.)
+  * More asking after wares with the cashier, who admirably recovers from religious experience, perhaps thinking that it is his religious duty as an adherent to Wigglethum to run Wigglethum’s Emporium.
+FIT THE THIRD: //The Paladin’s Tale//
+  * Meet up with Keyleth, who is busy rescuing refugees. Keyleth recommends assault on more minor lich who serves as Gatekeeper.
+  * Earcorn has already helped Keyleth kill this lich. Each time, they take its gear, and so the lich grows slighly weaker. Lich is out of favor with Wretch and thus has no shortcut to gear replenishment.
+  * They go towards the fortress, looking to break the phylactery.
+  * Run across some Barghests, a short fight ensues; Ava reveals she’s memorized every creature she’s ever fought against and then some.
+  * Another random encounter I think.
+  * The final encounter’s a doozy.
+FIT THE FOURTH: //The Killing//
+  * They run into *the very lich they were trying to kill* performing some ritual
+  * Not even with Buff spells on, at least not the rnds/lvl one.
+  * Also some other undead (Wretchlings? Intelligent, but not *that* intelligent) and an Undead Ogre Cannonneer, wielding a fucking cannon in two hands.
+  * Ava cuts off most of the minons with a Wall of Stone, then airbursts a Glitterdust to blind most of the minions. She knows that Undead have poor will saves due to being immune to Mind-Affecting.
+  * Lich drops some Black Tentacles, many people save, Vaz is flying too high, Earcorn uses Travel Domain
+  * Ava tries to 1v1 lich while the others focus on the minions.
+  * Ava is amused to learn that blind minions ignore her primary defensive buff, Mirror Image. They still miss though.
+  * The ogre dishes out some damage with his cannon, after using Boots of Speed to move around the Wall.
+  * Lich gets off a Baleful Polymorph on Ava and turns her into a wingless bird.
+  * Ava still has Flight and Tongues, and so can communicate and move like a drone, not a bird, but is effectively out of the fight.
+  * They clean up, lich is fairly satisfied with Polymorhing Ava and doesn’t complain too much about being destroyed.
+  * Once the lich is down, the minions surrender. The Ogre throws his cannon down and runs, stupid fast given Boots of Speed— but Vaz tags it with a Magic Missile and, miraculously, it drops.
+  * Blind Wretchling, finding itself apparently alone (not realizing the Party is sticking aroun and still watching it), tries a D-Door. Two coins come up, blakc and red tumbling over each other- both come up red, and in the instant that the wretchling vanishes, blood-chilling screams can be faintly hear. Don’t fuck with the teleportation wards.
+  * We continue on.
+  * Ava does some calculations and decides that taking an extra day to fully heal, cast break enchantment, and transcribe the scroll is worth the significant increase in the chance that the lich manages to finish reconstruction before they can break its phylactery. Thus, they arrive at the fortress with full spell slots.
+FIT THE FORTH: //The Liches’ Fort//
+  * Party approaches the fort
+  * Morgh ambush. They fail to eat Kyrry flat-footed. They die.
+  * Various traps: blades from doors, posions, etc, etc. Kyrry disarms them.
+  * Corridor of Annihilation. Walls, ceilings, floor are enchanted a la Spheres of Annihilation, party tests with rock I think?
+  * Basically Fly through it.
+  * Eventually find the apprentice holed up in a room. Ava negotiates, appreciates how he is being ‘reasonable’ (the apprentice prefers ‘intelligent’). Apprentice basically states he has no intention of interfering with the party provided they don’t try to kill him (in fact he hates his boss and this would probably be a promotion). Ava thinks this is ‘cute’.
+  * Apprentice is eventually negotiated to provide actual, active help. In return he demands a Plane Shift to get him *out* of this fucking place. His name is… “dirk”? “dave”? there’s an evil necromancer organization for Daves, apparently.
+  * Still remains in the room, though, just willing to give advice on those traps which he knows about.
+  * Then we come across the Phylactery…
+* Wack-a-Mole with shields until someone rides one? Someone outstrengths one, saves vs. ouchies… the portals teleport into Dave's room when hit (like a shell game but no real one).
+RESOLUTION: * Ohm Bastion receives messages that Molly, Ava's daughter, has gotten Sendings from Ava who says not to raise her corpse (and claims to be still alive). </WRAP>
