Session 2 Recap: Delving Deeper into Dungeon
Refreshed and recharged, the party returns to the dungeon, where they discover an ancient shrine dedicated to the Lord of Darkness himself and several of his first priests. Before they can investigate the meaning, however, a skeletal army, led by a mysterious undead figure, attacks. Animated sarcophagi bar the exits from the shrine room as the battle ensues, adding to the mysteries yet to be solved in this ancient dungeon as the party seeks the origin of the blue beam of power.

Twas the Night Before Session 1….
Twas the Night Before Session 1…so the DM released a prologue video to set the tone for the campaign kick-off!
As stated numerous times heading into the kick-off of my homebrew campaign, “Tales of Xenia 3: Resurrecting Rashamoric,” I love this group of friends I get to play with and DM for so much that I am going absolutely all out this time around.
Going all out includes leveraging AI tools to create artwork, video, and audio to create teaser trailers and visually represent the Council of Common Sense, the primary quest givers in the campaign.
So, with that in mind and to keep building on the anticipation, I created a prologue video that was released on our group’s Discord channel the night before Session 1. It encapsulates everything that has been teased thus far, including the personalized invitation scrolls each person had mailed to their physical homes and addressed to the character.
Here is the kick-off video: https://www.justwriteforme.com/a-mysterious-invite
Look for a Session 1 recap soon. It was a ton of fun, and we have already dug into the bag of tricks I have planned for this latest epic tale set in Xenia (i.e., someone almost died and needed…a Mircale)!
Enjoy! And thanks for the follows!
