A DnD 5e Eberron Campaign - Started January 2021 - Ended June 2022
PCs (lvl 13): Lynch, Mor, Vica, Zip, Zullrik
The PCs uses their powerful magic to bring the dead kids back to life, earning the respect and accolades of the whole village.
But their good deeds do not go unpunished. During the night, a band of giant multi-armed skeletons attack the village, wreacking havoc. Once again the PCs raise to the challenge, and defeat the monstrous undead.
PCs (lvl 13): Lynch, Mor, Telkhad, Vica, Zip, Zullrik
The PCs say their goodbyes to Amaerashantha and Berlok, and make preparations to leave. Vica uses a scrying spell to get a view on Mor's village in the Shadow Marches. Then she casts a tree stride spell to teleport the party there.
When they arrive in Patrahk'n, they find the place in a very somber mood. The land is sickened by an ancient evil, and the dead come back to haunt the living as zombies. Newborns turn into aberrant creatures, and attack their own parents. The PCs witness a few of these events, and are forced to battle these monstrosities.
PCs (lvl 12): Mor, Telkhad, Vica, Zip, Zullrik
The Party fights against Amearashantha, but not to kill her. They manage to remove the cursed necklace she was wearing, and draw the quori that was possessing her out. They then defeat and destroy the quori.
As a reward, Amearashantha, Berlok, and Agrok forge for them magical weapons made of byeshk.
PCs (lvl 12): Lynch, Mor, Telkhad, Vica, Zip, Zullrik
The party fortifies the rock tower, while they plan to defend it against a dragon's attack. They also scout the valley, where they find fearsome undead, and mysterious forms lurking in the shadows.
They decide to rest for the night, but again Amaerashanta visits them in their sleep. When they awake, the ancient amethyst dragon begins her assault.

The PCs assault the Rock Tower, slaughtering the tribe of ogres inhabiting it, and their Dire Troll leader. They loot the place and plan their next step.

The party makes camp for the night. During their sleep, they share a common dream, where they're contacted by Amaerashanta (or whatever is possessing her). After a short exchange of threats, the PCs awake to find their camp under attack by a flock of draconians.
The day after the PCs plan their assault at the rock tower overlooking the entrance to the valley. They eventually decide to attack from the top floor, using magic to fly. They rapidly knock out the ogre stationed at the watchpost, and begin their descent to the lower levels of the tower.

Having rescued Berlok, the party ask him to forge magical weapons usings the byeshk they own. Berlok agrees, but informs them that he will need his magical anvil in order to do that, and the help of his former partner, an ancient amethyst dragon called Amaerashantha.
Unfortunately the dragon has been possessed by an entity bound inside a khyber shard, and will need to be freed from this evil influence before she can be of any help.
The party travels to the valley where the dragon makes her lair, and they're attacked by a group of wild beasts, led by a possessed giant ape. When the PCs kill the ape, the quori spirit possessing him makes its appearance. The quori manages to also possess Telkhad; the party is forced to knock him out before they can finally destroy the aberration.
PCs (lvl 11): Zip, Lynch, Mor, Telkhad, Vica, Zullrik
The PCs visit the cathedral of Shadows, where they meet with Viela, the dark elf priestess in charge. She reveals that Murdaget, the hobgoblin foreman at the construction site, is keeping Berlok prisoner.
The party pays a visit to Murdaget's warehouse, where they defeat his hobgoblin and troll bodyguards, and capture Murdaget. The hobgoblin tells them his true intentions. The Iron Satyr is a powerful demon (a goristro), and he wants to open a portal to Shavarath to bring him there as a gift to the Fury. Unfortunately Viela has a similar plan, and she shows up not much later.
When a fight erupts, the PCs slay both Murdaget and Viela, and obtain the key to open the portal to Shavarath. They first dismantle pieces of the latticework surrounding the Iron Satyr, making the portal much smaller. In this way, they go to Shavarath without taking the gigantic statue with them.
On the other side of the portal, they find Berlok in chain, guarded by a few minor fiends. The party takes care of these fiends, they free Berlok, and they cross the portal again, returning to Eberron.
PCs (lvl 11): Zip, Lynch, Mor, Telkhad, Vica, Zullrik
The party investigates the house of Berlok. The smith is nowhere to be found, but the PCs find clues connecting Berlok to the high-priestess of the Temple of Shadow, Viela. They also meet Berlok's pseudodragon familiar, who is able to share some info about Berlok's behaviour during the last few weeks. The hobgoblin was having recurring visions about demons, and his mental health was fast declining.
With all clues pointing to the Temple of Shadow, the PCs decide to go there next. Before they can reach the Temple, Lynch has a little talk with Greywall's mayor, the illithid Xor'chylic. The aberration seems to know a lot about the party, especially about their past in Sharn. Xor'chylic suggests that the party never return to Sharn. Luckily, they don't mean to.
My name is Lynch Hawthorne. It is my business to know what other people do not know. There's nothing I like more than a good mystery.
Ideals. To a great mind, nothing is little. It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important.
Bonds. It belongs in my museum! Unless it's removal causes unbalance or harms others.
Flaws. I never plan ahead or properly. I tend to improvise a lot.
Death (session 49 - TPK): Killed together with all his party members during the final battle against Mordain the Fleshweaver in the tower of Blackroot.
