The Coup of King Kirk

The Conflict

Prelude

The uprising began shortly after a small group of adventurers arrived on the Mainland of the Fractured Isles, a group consisting of the heroes Alador Estiechade, Flank, Umenyiora, Rubia Okuwa, Baldo, Booj, Chel'sea and Arzo. The uprising went on for close to a month, as the group after discovering the deep rooted corruption of the Fractured Isles and the Golden Order, took matters into their own hands and began taking out King Kirks council one by one.

The group began by hunting the Lord of Knowledge on a secluded island to the east of the mainland, figuring out that he was only posing as an ancient elf and was in fact a strange ooze that fed off of peoples memories and intellect. After their hunt they returned to Mouldtown where they came face to face with King Kirk himself, who had already heard of the defeat of one of his advisors. He simply spoke to the party, left them a sword and left them to their own devices.

After the discussion with the King, they had made their way to the small pirate island of Murkdeep and stealthily made their way through the city, all the way to the throne room at the top where they came face to face with Sir Letros, the former Pirate King and swiftly dispatched of him.

When the party returned to Mouldtown after assassinating Sir Letros, they had found their beloved Uncle Angus killed by one of the Golden Lords, a Starborn by the name of T-Bone. From here, the party split up and conquered more ground, with one group missing Alador and Baldo heading after T-Bone, and by extension Illya Okuwa, as the two were found together. The chase for T-Bone led the group across the seas and all the way to Illya's home city, Khasysir. The group from there killed both T-Bone and Illya in one swift battle.

While the chase for T-Bone was occuring, Alador, Arzo and Baldo conspirated with the leader of the Mouldtown to perform a prison break on Althris Prison Island. They snuck onto a prison barge taking residents from Mouldtown and, once there, freed whoever they could with the help of one of the apes that Alador tamed. Upon their escape they were confronted by Alfred Kirk, one of King Kirks three sons, who was killed and thrown off of a bridge on the prison island.

The final stop for the group in the series of assassinations was a ferry trip to Port Landow, since at this point they were all wanted criminals they managed to hitch a ride on a cargo transport ferry to Port Landow, where they proceeded to hide amongst the crowds, find a rogue automaton who was to be auctioned off to a noble, steal him and escape while trying to kill Octavia Estiechade and her husband, Dr. Ansel. The plan to assassinate Dr. Ansel was a success, enlisting the help of a rogue mining automaton by the name of Booj they found him in his lab and dispatched of him. What didn't go to plan however is while they were escaping they were found out by Matadric Greycoat and Octavia Estiechade, and while trying to flee via boat Octavia activated her late husbands greatest automaton, the clock tower in the center of Port Landow, to chase the ferry through the water. What ensued was a sea battle where Baldo and Chel'sea arrived fashionably late with a war ship full of Zaxus cultists. The hulking clock tower automaton was taken down though Octavia had lived, the group reunited back in Mouldtown.

Before the actual siege they had a singular stop, as they had made peace with Matadric Greycoat and Ratham, a mysterious golden lord, seemed to actually be completely against the king, gave them a crucial bit of information that led them into a cave deep underneath the Mainland. They traversed through the ancient capital that Zaxus once ruled over to reunite Arzo, who was stuck in a weapon, with the full suit of Zaxus' armor. They fought their way through the ancient defenses and found the armor, giving Arzo full control over the kingdom underneath the capital.

From there, all respective parties were ready and met up in Mouldtown to plan.
