Premise
Wotan and Hela are heading towards a Grand Conjunction, an event that happens every 20.2 months. This particular one is visible in the evening sky after sunset, occurs in the constellation of the Lover, and the two planets appear to get so close that they're almost kissing, before merging into one, then coming apart again. Of course the astrologers are quite sure this has some sort of cosmological significance and want the party to check out some of the theories they have. Given that Wotan represents the Ruler or King and Wotan represents Time or Death, this could be really important.
So far, the theories/conspiracies are:
- The Birth of a King/Queen
- The Death of a King/Queen? King Ulric is going to die?
- The biggest plague Alusia has ever seen.
- Something demonic .... a new Demon Prince?
- The stupidest leader coming to power?
- The bees or ants are planning to declare war, resulting in lots of death?
- Maybe it's a Cyclops leader
- Death. DEATH! LOTS OF DEATH! We're all DOOMED!!! (again)
- Someone's giving birth to something powerful .... no wait ... that already happened. Doesn't mean it can't happen again.
- Total TPK?
Scribe Notes
1st of Meadow, Summer 821
The party of six adventurers arrive at the Seagate Guild of Astrologers and enter the building to see and hear all of the guild members bickering and squabbling about the possible foretellings of the current conjuncture of the planets Hela and Wotun.
After discussing all possible theories on what is to happen upon conjunction, the party receive coordinates and after a day of preparing at the guild, are promptly teleported to the outskirts of a town called Hiyal in the region of Arabi.
Entering the town the adventurers find a notice board with a wanted notice for caravan guards. The employers' names are Gaspar, Malkior and Balthazar. After making some agreements on pay and collection of equipment needed to survive the desert the party set out with the caravan on what was to be about a 3 week journey across the desert.
The party spends the first week travelling uninterrupted until the evening of the 9th of Meadow when a howling can be heard and a group of what appears to be hyenas charge the party from the sand dunes.
The party successfully defeated all the attacking hyena without any casualties. Party are then given 2 10pt healing potions and 2 potions of vaulting each.
13th of Meadow, Summer 821
The party found themselves to be walking around in circles when consulting the wayfinder, upon learning that the sages say they are tracking a shooting star in the hopes of altering its flight path and causing it to crash into the desert sand.
As night approached the sages began to bring the asteroid down to the desert below but found the asteroid not completely impacting but rather hovering just 20ft off the desert sand as the asteroid itself is fighting against the sages spell, to which the sages beckon to the adventurers to quickly jump onto the asteroid to retrieve a key for them.
