April 2017 event teaser

Post by GM Evan »

Winter recedes and spring comes forth. All around Midway the villages are starting to come back to life after the long winter. The snows have melted and some green is beginning to make its way up from the ground. The villagers have begun cleaning from the winter and begun making preparations for the planting next month. Food while not plentiful this time of year is sufficiently available to meet the needs of the villages.
Green Grove is abuzz with talk of Giant Spiders attacking the town Elders home and killing him before being driven off by Midway’s Constable and his guards. The villagers are confused and scared, but remain hopeful thanks to the reassuring presence of Constable Wesley spending a good deal of his time in the village.
Other villages talk of spider sightings on the outskirts of the villages, but no other attacks have occurred, not even among the animals or livestock of the villages. Some of the villagers seem uneased by the disappearance of the town elders, but the increased presence of the town guard from Midway does a lot to ease their fears.
In the forests and wild lands around Midway animals have begun to stir from winters grasp and have begun to forage for food. Along with these animals, many of the monsters in the area have also awakened and begun to search for food to fill their rumbling stomachs and ease the pangs of hunger from a long winter sleep.
Caravans of merchants and supply wagons have begun passing through Midway again on the road from Ports End to the City and Keep of Tarragon. With these wagons come news of the world. Drovers speak of the dwarven kingdom being in full out war as they are being attacked on two fronts. Several drovers speak of orcish war parties that have begun to attack into Caldonian and Dwarven lands from the north, cleverly taking advantage of fact that the dwarven military is focused on the Dark Dwarf threat to the east and many of the Caldonian lands being under defended due to King Niloc leading many warriors to the aid of the dwarves. Supply caravans and merchants still arrive into the dwarven lands from the south helping to keep the kingdom supplied, but many of the drovers whisper that it wont be long before the entire situation will be too dangerous for the average merchant and supplies will begin to dwindle.
Duke Kendall has called his banners and rallied the forces of the Third Royal Alliance at Brackus Keep but according to the merchant caravans have kept to their defensive positions making sure that the raids from the Orcs do not spill into the Duchy of Dorchak, but taking no action to send military aid to the Dwarven or Caldonian forces.
Scouts from Tarragon indicate that they are finding signs of scouting parties or small raiding bands or barbarians and orcs have infiltrated the area south of Midway and seem to be preparing for something. At least four Tarragon scouts have been found dead in the past month and Baron Von Droven has placed the soldiers of Tarragon on high alert.
What monsters have awakened from the long winter rest? What can be done to aid the Dwarves and Caldonians? What purpose do these Barbarian and Orc war parties have for coming so far east? Find out at the upcoming CARPS event April 7th-9th at Camp Talahi in Howell MI. Check in begins at 6pm, game on meeting at 8:30, game on at 9pm. If you have not Pre-Registered for the event and plan to attend, please do so!
