Hidden Path D&D Night. Episode 2: The Fey Forest


Deep within the Fey Forest, our six adventurers pressed forward through the dense foliage. They had been hired as mercinaries to investigate the strange occurrences that had been happening in the woods as of late. As they trekked further into the forest, they began to hear eerie whispers in the wind, and the trees around them seemed to be alive with movement.

Suddenly, the adventurers were ambushed by several undead Blights, led by a giant Blight leader. The Blights moved with an unnatural, jerky motion, and their eyes glowed with a sickly purle light. The group sprang into action, each using their unique skills to take down the undead creatures.

Praxis the Tiefling wizard quickly incapacitated the Blight leader with Asha’s Hideous Laughter spell while Diajen, the Fire Genasi warlock, summoned a Hellish Rebuke that engulfed the Blights and set them ablaze. Trenton, the Human rogue, dodged and weaved through the trees, picking off the Blights with his crossbow while Gamma-46a3, the Autognome artificer, used his mechanical prowess to spray bolts at the Blights. Falkin, the Half-Orc barbarian, charged headfirst into the fray, his great axe finding purpose.

Drogan Stonefist, the Mountain Dwarf barbarian, grabbed one of the undead Blights off the back of Trenton, his muscles bulging as he lifted the creature over his head. He then proceeded to behead the Blight, but not before taking a significant amount of damage.

The battle was fierce, and the undead blights spewed ichor as they were eviscerated, only to reanimate after they had supposedly died. However, the adventurers were determined to rid the forest of this evil and finally succeeded.

As they caught their breath and tended to their wounds, a curious humanoid creature appeared on a structure in the forest, which seemed to be the center of the necrotic power that drove the undead Blights. The creature whispered, "You are too late," and disappeared.

The adventurers were puzzled by this, but their curiosity got the best of them. As they inspected the spot where the humanoid creature vanished, a portal to another world appeared, and without hesitation, they stepped inside, eager to continue their adventure.
