lot wise, the group woke up, with no memories of the last 3 months. The room they we’re sealed in fell down a cliff as the tower collapsed. Climbing out of the rubble, they we’re approached by Kioko, the Succubus that you work for, gathering artifacts of great power. The team re-signed their contracts in blood & heard the fighting from the top of the mesa top. They traveled up to where the ruins of a fort, still ablaze from the battle, finding the destroyed buildings completely void of anyone alive… or dead. No bodies. Blood, but no bodies. The group also noticed a symbol that seemed to be appearing in the debris. They also noticed that they were being watched. They jumped the voyeur, which turned out to be a kobold named Kippy that was part of their team before their mind wipe. He informed them that he tracked them to this lair of the Aborators. A cult of warped arcanists trying to ‘improve’ the world through their augmentations. They warp themselves and often create twisted ‘experiments’ (aboration creatures) that are set loose upon the area. This cell was destroyed by a zealot religion known as the Purifiers (they eliminate anything unnatural. Be it undead, aborations, or even other beings from other worlds/realms.). The group allowed Kippy to travel with them to the nearest town where they rested. Kioko appeared to the group again, advising there was an artifact to the southeast, in a tomb. As they traveled SE, they we’re attacked by Aborations, however, they realized that the creatures were not trying to kill them, but to capture them. The creatures also bore the sigil of the Aborators. They discovered an cave entrance leading to a long forgotten tomb of a warlock tiefling princess, Trilana, and her 4 warlock advisers, interred with her upon death. One branch for each of the 4 different Warlock pacts, led to treasures, pain and visions. The artifact was recovered and the group went north to a large nearby city. There the group split up for the day, doing their own things. Each of them were in turn visited by Kioko again, though some observed that there was something different about her. She was more ominously evil. She told them to meet a new member of the team and to head off to the northwestern mountains to recover another artifact from the Dwarven city there. Only 3 of the original team arrived to meet the newbie, at the west gate and they set off (why no one questioned where everyone else was, I have no idea!). Along the way, they were ambushed by a group of bandits, calling themselves the Blood Hunter Gang. After killing their leader in the battle and taking one captive, the others Blood Hunters fled into the forest. The group ‘coerced’ their hostage to lead them to their lair. On the way, their captive, Jeb, made a run for it. The team chased after him & after forcing Jeb to trip one of his own traps in the woods, saved & healed him. After being healed Jeb changed his attitude towards his captors and willing showed the group where the traps were and more importantly, their cave lair. The team looted the leaders treasures, giving some of the coin to the remaining Blood Hunters to make them look better in the Gang’s eyes, which they spent the day with, teaching them various other ways of living without thieving. The next day they left the Hunters for the Dwarven city. That’s about where we left off.
