The party has been captured by dark elves in the _Darkness Beneath_. After a grueling few months of imprisonment, the party finally manages to get the upper hand and does away with their captors. They are now murderers and sought not only for escaping from the prison, but for killing the priestesses as they fled.
Escape of the Deep Dwelvers
The travels and adventures of the Deep Dwelvers as they traverse the _Darkness Underneath_ and the rest of Atir-Namorn. Events inspired by 5E adventures.
Aeonmagica
1400 and beyond
Aeonmagica is the era that saw magic reintroduced to the world. After magic was deemed necessary to limit and control a millennium ago in the Mundane, there was little chance of casting even the simplest of spells and Swordera began. However, the other planes of existence have been slowly leaking magic back in all this time. It took time for the world to notice just what had happened, but, after a millennium apart, this leaking of magic also linked the planes closer together than ever before. Now, as the Aeonmagica begins, we see the Mundane as close as it has ever been to Faerie and the other planes.

Encounter with Traders
Life, WealthWhile traversing the tunnels of the _Darkness Beneath_, the party encounters a group of traders who have fallen on ill luck. There was apparently a landslide but moments before and two of the traders were trapped beneath the rockfall. The party hopped to action immediately and dug out the traders. To show their gratitude, the traders bequeathed unto the party (specifically Terthane) a hand crossbow of extreme power (+3 Hand Crossbow).

Encounters with Monsters

Meeting Slurp
Gathering / ConferenceA Carriapede (a centipede/millipede type monster that is giant and eats carrion) cuts off the party in the tunnels, but, luckily, before anyone has the chance to raise a sword, spell, or bow upon the beast, they notice the saddle on its back and the calm temperament that it possesses. Using their ability to speak to animals, Zertobleth communicates with the Carriapede and learns its name and that its last rider met their sad end at the hands of a demon, but not before sending Slurp away from danger.

Lost Cavern of the Fungus Queen
Gathering / ConferenceThe party stumbles across a long-hidden corridor of shaped stone. After traversing the length of it, they reach a puzzle door and were forced to solve it before they could continue—they solved it like it was nothing and it was ridiculous. After getting past the silly excuse of a fortification, the party meets madness-sustained fungaloids and attempts to parley with their chieftain, but all is for not, as the village already decided to eat them if the opportunity presented itself. The offspring of the chieftain, however, somehow found themselves unaffected by the madness that plagued the rest of the village and managed to warn the party before anything horrible befell them. This offspring, _Veg_, and his plant-based hound, Lichen, decided that they would leave the only village they ever knew and seek out sanity alongside their newfound friends.

A Patch of Green Slime
Gathering / ConferenceIt is not a normal thing to come across a sentient puddle of slime, but that is just what happened this night to the party when they went to bed down for a long rest. Nicae Underfoot glided up to the party and bid them welcome to her home, or at least her temporary one. Seeing that Nicae sought to have someplace to truly call home and seeing how the gathered group of party members and followers was expansive to the point of needing a permanent settlement, the party offered Nicae a spot among them, and they accepted without a moment's hesitation.

Eventually, the massive group makes it to the outer perimeter of Dimfvir. The main party members delegate the setting up of a secure camp before entering the city known not for its kindness to strangers.

A Deal with a Dragon
Life, Achievement/ WinEmberclaws, the dragon who heats the hearths and forges that keep Dimfvir always a flame, seeks the party's help with a small...problem. He worries that his wyrmtenders are conspiring against him and wishes to know more. The party takes on this quest and soon realizes that there is another dragon about to be hatched, but the egg was stolen and now the wyrmtenders seek the party's help as well and wish for them to retrieve the stolen egg before it is too late—they plan to replace Emberclaws as soon as the new dragon is old enough to light the forges. The party does in fact find this missing egg, but they refuse to return it to those who would seek only to use the dragon's powers for their own gain and who may, eventually, seek to replace the newborn as well—they are sure it has happened many a time before. This egg joins the collection of other eggs that the party has acquired—they cannot wait for it to hatch!

Tuff'n'Gruff stood her ground initially but soon realized that she was no match for the party. Instead of fleeing, however, this brave and possibly idiotic two-headed giant decided she too would fight alongside the party.

A Gift from a King
Life, WealthThe dark-dwarven king of Dimfvir, Dreadking Hargoth Darksteel III, summons the party for an audience, and, while there, the party foils the plans of a doppelganger that took to appearing before the king's side as a dark-dwarven lady. The doppelganger even managed to seduce their way into a position of advisory power at the king's side. After foiling the doppelganger's plot, the Dreadking bestows great gifts upon the party. Not one of them leaves without some newly crafted magical equipment that will hopefully aid them well in the not-so-distant future.

Rescuing the Hydra Pup
Gathering / ConferenceA hunt has been started for the lair of a nearby hydra and the party is the first to find it. The hydra would be a good match for the party, but she gives up before meeting her end for she has more important matters to tend to, her sole child. With nearly the entire city after her, and having tested the strength of the party and deemed them worthy, she nudges her child into their care and bids them farewell in the hopes that they may live, even if her fate is sealed. The party solemnly takes the hydra pup in and cares for it like it is one of their own.

Goais rise from the dust and thank the party for cleansing the sacred ground and banishing the evil that had called it home for too long.

To finish off their journey, they traced back the trail of the mindrenderer and found a loot-hoard of wondrous items and tomes; what interested them most, however, was the mindrendered eye tyrant that sought to be their newest companion.
