The Shadow of Numilvara

Campaign I: Pashlatine and Co

2 min read

Pashlatine and Co was the first ACKS Acksberron campaign — the story of a scrappy merchant-adventurer company, Pashlatine’s Company, led by the venturer Pashlatine Levonday, working the roads and markets between Teryk and the great Caernathi city of Vedycaer. It is set a little earlier in the same world as the current game, The Black Puddings.

Over twenty-six sessions the company:

  • Broke a bandit menace operating out of the Dome — a sealed granite temple of the Daughter of Khyber (Tiamat) near the village of Kendra — clearing its warring factions of kobolds, hobgoblins, orcs, and human brigands and cleansing its sinkhole of evil.
  • Destroyed the Emerald Heart, a corrupting relic guarded by an undead elven Lady, and burned down the murder-mansion of the Black Dogs, a fallen faction of House Ghallanda.
  • Hunted a wererat cult in the sewers beneath Vedycaer and unravelled the murder of the Levonday parents — a trail leading through Lucius Furlan’s “Family” syndicate, the charming manipulator Maxwell Silvermane, and the changeling Brotherhood of Knives.

The company paid dearly along the way, losing companions such as Kojo, Val, and the bard Travain, while gaining strange gifts and scars from tampering with mortality under the eyes of Numilvara and Talavosh.
