'''Tales of Quelmar''' are one-session games that fill in blanks and tell interesting stories that do not need long drawn out campaigns. They often times revolve around one interesting idea or event and introduce a plethora of previously unexplored characters and faces. Tales may be about the most important day ever or about the most mundane tavern brawl. No matter what happens in them, one thing is for certain, these stories will go down in Quelmar's history. |

Some of us were dragged down to the underdark by a demonic presence. I'm from AID. Back where I was from, AID was summoning demonic creatures in their search for the origin of the soul. I was the result of some of those experiments. I'm a [[warforged]]. A machine with a soul. They experimented on me to try to figure out where my soul came from."</blockquote>Year: 699, later an undetermined year in the Underdark |

''The sheep claimed to be Finethir Shinebright, a powerful transmuter'' true polymorph''ed into a sheep by his apprentice using Finethir's wand. After dispatching a half-orc, a bear, some wolves, and Finethir himself temporarily, the adventurers tentatively set off to retrieve the wand from the apprentice.

Five people were hired to be night guards at the[[Zobeck Art Galler| Zobeck Art Gallery]] for the duration of a travelling exhibition: ''Ancient Art: Alive!'' However, the owner had an ulterior motive: to turn them into statues with a magic pedestal. The heroes were drugged, removed of their weapons, and bound. They managed to escape with tyrannosaurus teeth, looting the Arms and Armor hall and fighting through a handful of animated statues. In a climactic battle against a statue of a tyrannosaurus rex, Nick Rivers brought the mummified corpse of Paelias Amenruta into the moonlight. Revived by a blessing from his god [[Quelmar Deities|Sehanine Moonbow]], Paelias summoned his manticore Koronet and rushed into battle. Before he could get a swing in, though, the night watch finished the dinosaur on their own. They then did what night watches do best: loot the very gems they were hired to guard and drink the night away at ''The Lion's Paw''. During the celebrations, old Dorothea snuck away to deliver the necromantic pedestal to her [[Belial the Devourer|fiendish patron]] and make another deal. |

The party fought through various undead and puzzled through some magically locked doors before attacking, then freeing, an imprisoned Wailing Spirit who turned out to be the original prophet Elluz. Before their death, the monks trapped her spirit and passed off her seeing powers as their own to facilitate a profitable fortune-telling scheme. As thanks for freeing her, Elluz provided a glimpse into each adventurer's future: Shortsword, a life blessed with good fortune fueled by her perseverance; Amir, a descent into darkness but a pathway out if he could escape his pact; Momilani, visions of a trying time when she would need to rely on her friends as they relied on her; and Creel, a promise of modest but real renown -- and a warning to stay away from guns. |

You've lived peaceful, simple, and ''boring'' lives until now, when a strange old man with a cart comes to the annual festival to peddle his wares. He begins by putting on a simple magic show with prestidigitation wands and other minor effects, but after the show he announces a job offer: testing his newest batch of wands and determining their effects. For this task he offers 10 gold pieces per accurately identified wand, an unheard of sum for folk like you, ''and'' you get to keep one of these magic wands each upon completing the task. |

Latest revision as of 17:15, 17 August 2024
Tales of Quelmar are one-session games that fill in blanks and tell interesting stories that do not need long drawn out campaigns. They often times revolve around one interesting idea or event and introduce a plethora of previously unexplored characters and faces. Tales may be about the most important day ever or about the most mundane tavern brawl. No matter what happens in them, one thing is for certain, these stories will go down in Quelmar's history.
Lost in the Underdark[edit | edit source]
Offline. The very first one off involved the rescue of Paelias Galanodel from the Underdark by a group of misfits including Amra and Sir Davidos, who teamed up with another banished soul named 11 and a Dr. Frank N Stein. It took place in the year 796 PR, loosely following the events of the Towson Tabletop finale. At the end, they were able to send an SOS back up to Quelmar through Paelias:
"We're from Quelmar. We're holed up at the DoomVault. Some of us were dragged down to the underdark by a demonic presence. I'm from AID. Back where I was from, AID was summoning demonic creatures in their search for the origin of the soul. I was the result of some of those experiments. I'm a warforged. A machine with a soul. They experimented on me to try to figure out where my soul came from."
Year: 699, later an undetermined year in the Underdark
Location: The Underdark
Players: Matt D, Ben P, Lianna B, Glen H
Short Synopsis: People ripped into the underdark discover that Demons who try to pull people from Quelmar (or people who try to go to the abyss) get stuck in the Underdark, which is a buffer layer. They save a wizard who was REALLY stuck.

Year: 675
Location: Hamleton, Lugg, Amusa
Players: Tess H, Matt I, Zach B, Will M
Short Synopsis: What happens when some adventurers help give birth to a child...only for a man from the future to arrive, attempt to kill it, and claim that child will be the end of the world? Hilarity ensues.
Offline, DC, DM James.
The Tomb of Horrors (2016)[edit | edit source]
Year: Prehistory
Location: The Tomb of Horrors
Players: Glen H, Lianna B, Matt I, Griffin D, Alex W

Players: Steve B, Skylar H, Zach B, Allie P, Tess H, Bridget L

Offline, DC, DM James.
The Atheist[edit | edit source]
Year: 800
Location: Bywater, Osugbo (Halfling community)
Players: Glen H, Lianna B, Thomas G, Tess H, Rachael H, Allie P
Short Synopsis: Greedy gods fight to the death over converting the realm’s most stubborn hobbit. It all ends in death as their utmost divine destruction winds up not converting but rather confirming the halfling’s nihilistic beliefs. On his deathbed, it ultimately was the goddess of death, the Raven Queen, who left the most impact.

The Wild Sheep Chase[edit | edit source]
After a night of being ambushed by Snake Charmer bandits, four adventurers arrived in Bayberry, East Levinkan. A sheep with a scroll of modified Speak with Animals in its mouth bounded up to them in The Flannel Flagon. The sheep claimed to be Finethir Shinebright, a powerful transmuter true polymorphed into a sheep by his apprentice using Finethir's wand. After dispatching a half-orc, a bear, some wolves, and Finethir himself temporarily, the adventurers tentatively set off to retrieve the wand from the apprentice. Chaos ensued: the purported apprentice transformed a bed into a dragon, Kelluruk turned into a potted plant, and Finethir died when the monk Bar attempted to use the modified wand to turn him back into a high elf. The adventurers looted the deceased transmuters' lab, and watched the treehouse burn.

Fight at the Museum[edit | edit source]
Five people were hired to be night guards at the Zobeck Art Gallery for the duration of a travelling exhibition: Ancient Art: Alive! However, the owner had an ulterior motive: to turn them into statues with a magic pedestal. The heroes were drugged, removed of their weapons, and bound. They managed to escape with tyrannosaurus teeth, looting the Arms and Armor hall and fighting through a handful of animated statues. In a climactic battle against a statue of a tyrannosaurus rex, Nick Rivers brought the mummified corpse of Paelias Amenruta into the moonlight. Revived by a blessing from his god Sehanine Moonbow, Paelias summoned his manticore Koronet and rushed into battle. Before he could get a swing in, though, the night watch finished the dinosaur on their own. They then did what night watches do best: loot the very gems they were hired to guard and drink the night away at The Lion's Paw. During the celebrations, old Dorothea snuck away to deliver the necromantic pedestal to her fiendish patron and make another deal.

A Silent Song[edit | edit source]
A team of four adventurers was hired by the town of Elluz to investigate a haunted monastery. The party fought through various undead and puzzled through some magically locked doors before attacking, then freeing, an imprisoned Wailing Spirit who turned out to be the original prophet Elluz. Before their death, the monks trapped her spirit and passed off her seeing powers as their own to facilitate a profitable fortune-telling scheme. As thanks for freeing her, Elluz provided a glimpse into each adventurer's future: Shortsword, a life blessed with good fortune fueled by her perseverance; Amir, a descent into darkness but a pathway out if he could escape his pact; Momilani, visions of a trying time when she would need to rely on her friends as they relied on her; and Creel, a promise of modest but real renown -- and a warning to stay away from guns.

6 more lambs to the slaughter as a group finally overcomes the nefarious gravitational chamber, basically dances past the lair of the efreet, and makes their way to the final door of the entire tomb...But when tensions run high, the team falls back on the miraculous "Gem of Wish" left to them by last year's note-taking experts. The results of said wish? A key to the final door...made of this team's flesh and blood. It's a total party kill this year as the team dies right at the gates of victory, leaving one final item to next year's team.
With a total party kill, unfortunately this year's team also brings nothing back to the surface for next year. Will 2023 be able to make their way back to end riding almost blindly? Tune in and find out.

He begins by putting on a simple magic show with prestidigitation wands and other minor effects, but after the show he announces a job offer: testing his newest batch of wands and determining their effects. For this task he offers 10 gold pieces per accurately identified wand, an unheard of sum for folk like you, and you get to keep one of these magic wands each upon completing the task.
