1: Crypt of the Made God
Our group of adventurers had found themselves the companions to the mysterious Athen Ligrant, a quiet traveler who seemed to be moving for no significant reason. A handful of awkward days passed and the group found themselves in the small village of Hewe, just south of the Chromatic mountains. Here they rolled in the Labor Lottery and earned some pocket change before spending the night contemplating whether or not to continue. In the dead of night a group of goblins, members of the Deathrot Gang came stealing away various items beyond the usual amounts as well as Athen's cart. The village, worried that the goblins were intending to attack later, hired the group to investigate and return the stolen goods from the goblins to the north.
The group traveled north and encountered the Deathrot Gang preparing a seige of some sort. Disarming themselves they communicated with the goblins and proved they did not intend to harm them. The goblins revealed that a "smooth door" within suddenly began to glow and strange flying monsters began to attack them. The clan went to Hewe in order to supply an attempt to retake their home and save Tarm the Fearless who stayed behind with a small group to protect the rest of the clan. The group agreed to aid the goblins in order for them to peacefully return what was taken and moved into the cave.
The group traversed the cave quickly and found themselves in the deepest chamber, the throne room, where Tarm was fighting strange flying machines which fired beams of burning light next to a massive arcane door to ancient ruins since buried in the earth. With Athen's aid in unlocking Charlie Anderson's magical abilities the group rapidly dispatched the machines and were left with the door and the potential that it would remain hostile. The group opened the door by casting small spells until every rune was illuminated and delved deeper into the crypt.
Within the ruins they encountered the disembodied voice of STACI who prods the group with sarcastic remarks and dark humor. The group however, retrieved some materials and deactivated certain defensive systems, finding themselves in the deepest chamber where STACI is currently, discovering she is an incorporeal entity who commands the ship. Upon deactivating the final firewall fail-safe Dorian interfaced with STACI taking them on as a part of her sword. After the download, the command of the ship was moved to the next ranking intelligence, who began funneling the group towards its den, seeing them as hostile entities to be destroyed. The corrupted Repair Processor attacked the group with the aid of several crab drones but was quickly slain. In its final moments however, a mysterious voice came through and a gleaming green eye was displayed on all displays within the ruins. A voice echoed through the halls.
"I see you, your actions have consequences. They have been recorded."
Afterwards the Repair Processor fell dormant and the group found their way out by digging out a cave in. They finalized their agreement with the goblins, sealed the door, and returned the stolen goods as per the agreement, receiving a a pouch of gold. The group joined Athen afterwards and began to make their way out of Hewe. Athen, impressed by their work and talent with these new abilities made an offer for them to join her and her companions in order to take down the order set by Xiroth the Marred and even revealed her own true identity as an avatar of Mystra, the God of All Magic. The group tentatively agreed and joined her on her travels to Weft.
