<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>The Fall of Shadowdale</strong></span></div><br/><strong><strong>1379 Dale Reckong--</strong></strong>: Tyranthraxus and Nergal are alive—and they’re<strong>pissed</strong>!!!<br/><br/><br/>You’d be pissed too if a dirty old man thwarted your plans to steal the Goddess of Magic’s clit spit so you could rule the Nine Hells—more so when he detonates your skeleton and his silver-haired bimbo fries you with holy, arcane, blue-white, silver-flame Mystra vajaculate!<br/><br/>You’d be<em>really</em>pissed if your efforts to bind the Moonsea and Dalelands were thwarted by the same dirty old man, and a sextet of mortals with three artifacts fireballed your margoyles and high priests to oblivion and hack-slashed your avatar into a 20 foot pile of giant burger!<br/><br/>After gestating in a Larvae pit for seven years, and uniting disparate bits of ground soul in a soupy morass of chaos for twenty-two years Tyranthraxus and Nergal are back!<br/>What’s more they’re sick of being the whipping boys of the primey heroes, since their rebirths the deposed God and Archdevil have dispatched their minions to canvass Agathion, The Terminal Archives, Thoth’s Library, the battlefields of Acheron, Candlekeep, and a plethora of forgotten demiplanes and pocket spaces for the most malignant magics in the multiverse.<br/><br/>Yugoloth messengers have arrived at the demesnes of several up-and-coming Abyssal Lords  and Archdevils—Tyranthraxus and Nergal have delivered planar artifacts to one within each hunting party. One-way tickets fashioned from wood Native to a dark and forgotten grove in the Gray Wastes. Upon speaking a command word, each artifact will open a portal to the Dalelands which will remain for several moments—long enough for the hunters to cross into the prime material plane.<br/><br/>Why are they cooperating? Mutual loathing for the same<del>dirty old</del>Ahem, Sage of Shadowdale makes for strange bedfellows! The Deposed God and Archdevil have promised a rich reward to any who slays one of the Seven Sisters, or Rangers Three—but the richest reward is reserved for whoever among the infernal lords and abyssal champions kills Elminster.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"></span><div align="center"><strong>Before</strong></div><br/><div align="center">(http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee409/saharielsummoned/shadowdale_4.jpg)</div><br/><div align="center"><strong>During</strong></div><br/><div align="center">(http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee409/saharielsummoned/shadowdale_3-1.jpg)</div><br/><div align="center"><strong>After?</strong></div><br/><div align="center">(http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee409/saharielsummoned/shadowdale_5.jpg)</div><br/><br/><br/><strong>OOC:</strong><br/><br/>This is a one shot geared at restarting a campaign that has been dead for some time.<br/><br/>Lords and Ladies of the Lower Planes: http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=167093.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=167093.0)<br/><br/>I doubt that it will be a exceedingly serious, in terms of tone, it will be akin to<em>Army of Darkness</em>, and<em>Gamers: Dorkness Rising</em>, with plenty of carnage, spellslinging, gore and gratuitous violence.<br/><br/>The game was closed, I know at least five players are returning—we may have one opening among the forces of Darkness.<br/><br/>I may also be looking for players who want to play epic-level heroes, although some of them may be enslaved or perish at the hands of the demon lords and archdevils if the defenders lose.<br/><br/>If you are not a player and you are interested, please PM me.<br/><br/>Sahariel<br/><br/><br/>
