As the Temples of Meryn and Moradin sound the Midnight bells, it is a new year in Talaveroth, and Krampus disappears in a puff of smoke, defeated but not dead...Rosri from Team2 severed his right horn, as well as his left eye!
And your DM wishes you all a Happy New Year, full of impending Doom and heroic deeds!
The Rise of the Red Dragon Clan, and Return of the Mind Flayers have taken the peaceful Lands of the Three Peaks by surprise, plaguing the small towns and villages surrounding the City. Pinekeep is still under Ennemy occupation, and the countryside is crawling with Gnolls, Kobolds, evil Dragonborn and other malignant creatures from various Planes of existence, as well as the infamous Screaming Hunters, a War Band of Gnolls, Followers of Ynoghu, the Demon Lord, who have been devastating the local Civilian Population, after migrating from the Westwoods, where they burned the Great Pixie Tree.
Rumors of the Planar Seals being broken are on the rise, and a Darkness has spread throughout Talaveroth. Portals to the Fey Wild, the Shadowveil, the Abyss, and the Elemental Planes are being discovered all over the region every week...
Yet hope remains, after the Alliance Victory at the Battle of the Grey Valley, where a rag tag coalition of Eagle Riders, Dwarven peasants led by a Dog Knight and a group of Heroes known as the "Knights of the Hanging Chicken", more specifically the Knight Protectors, defeated the Red Dragonborn Warriors and Kobolds of Wrathmaw Keep, led by the diabolical Lord Artarxes of Emberdark, who was ultimately taken down by Saerrira, the Silver Dragoness Diva.
And a recent attempt on Jarl Hærrad Hammerstorm's life was thwarted, also by the Knights of the Hanging Chicken, more specifically the Knight Inquisitors. The mysterious Assassin with the Purple Snake tattoo escaped, but not after Roscoe the Halfling Barbarian chopped off his arm...
Two people from the City were turned into Mind Flayers, through insertion of a parasite in their head, but one was killed by the "Black Chickens" at Gavin Mc Kullick's Tavern, and the other one was slain by the Knight Inquisitors in a secret wilderness hideout (spoiler). They were both following the mental orders of a certain "Gingerbread Man", still on the loose...
Meanwhile, Thanicles, the crazy drunk Wizard who originally turned Gavin's Tavern into a Giant Monster with Chicken Legs, rots in a dark cell, in an Interplanar Maximum Security Prison, helpless....or is he? Who in Norian's name would be crazy enough to attempt such a rescue mission? Cough...team3...winkwink, nudge nudge....
And Allies are slowly banding together on both sides of the Global conflict.
The Jarl of the Three Peaks and the Granit Clan has made an official call for arms, to the other Clans of Nâr Barâk, King Thørnad Dragonslayer, and the Wizard Queen Bri Stormborn, as well as the Alliance Army stationed in the city of Melassonne, Mastandia.
Laievis Elreth, Knight Protector, has been named Commander of the 16th Squadron of Eagle Riders. He has returned to the Primordial Forest to broker an Alliance with the High Elves of the Floating Isles.
Edeleth Treesong, Knight Inquisitor has been named Ambassador to the Westwoods, and created a never-seen-before diplomatic Alliance with the reclusive Wood Elves, after the Burning of the Great Pixie Tree.
Sir Uther B'or of Dastarus, Knight Protector, has sent messages to his Mighty Warrior family. Will they answer the Jarl's call to War?
In the criminal underworld, rumors of a rising "Deadliest assassin in the Three Peaks", who is actually working for the greater good, are plenty. Supposedly he is barely 4 feet tall, and can kill Mind Flayers, Elite Purple Snake Assassins and shoot a Devil's horn and eye out....who is this mysterious figure?
More rumors circulate about a mysterious Warlock of the Shadow King, who actually used his dark powers to save an entire village of Civilians, and the Jarl himself...people fear him, yet he is the growing talk of the town in magic circles..
The Silver Dragons have finally turned their Ancient protective eyes on the Three Peeks, and named Saerrira the Dragoness Diva as their voice in this Kingdom.
Peshley Scryclock, Knight Protector is now a full fledged Agent of the Talaveroth Bureau of Arcane Affairs, and official representative of the Forest Gnome Burrows in the Westwoods. She is most known for her flying Unicorn Pony, who follows her everwhere she goes.
Cade Overhill and his Pixie Wife Ellethi, both Knight Protectors, have been named the Three Peaks' Ambassadors to the Fey Wild by the Jarl.
And In the middle of it all, the People of the Three Peaks have grown increasingly fond of Roscoe Umbridge the Halfling Barbarian, Knight Inquisitor. Having an easygoing happy personality, a love of partying, some magically animated tattoos done by Pygmalion Zaggat himself, and the reputation of killing horrible Monsters for sport, he has been unofficially named "Most coolest guy in the Three Peaks".
But in the Dark, the Ennemy forces regroup, and expand, like a cancer spreading to the rest of the World, acquiring new Allies along its path, and sending its Agents on strange, treacherous errands across the untamed Wilderness of Talaveroth. Is Artarxes of Emberdark really dead? What of his sinister Tortle Lieutenant Fanuk, the deadly sharp shooter?
And in the Lowlands, the Drow Matriarchy is keeping a tight grip on the Rock Gnomes and Hill Dwarves...or are they? In a Tavern somewhere, History unfolds...

As the Holiday Hooplah winds down, the Characters go back to their "normal lives", if there is such a thing in Talaveroth...
The Knight Protectors and Knight Inquisitors have been summoned to the Granit Palace later tonight, to discuss War Strategy with the Jarl and the other Commanders.
In the meantime, they may use this day of downtime however they see fit...
Saerirra will spend some time performing, whether at the Hanging Chicken or possibly elsewhere, perhaps by fan request. The rest of the day will be spent volunteering at the temple of Meryn. Come nightfall, Saerirra returns to the Hanging Chicken to bathe and relax.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Zyman is busy researching the Jarl's libraries for any mention of the Shadowfell, Immortality and tales of people being brought back from death, and mentions of medicines that prolong life. When he is either exhausted from his studies or needs to eat something, he'll spend an hour in meditation, trying to commute with his patron, searching for their intentions and trying to understand his own growing powers.

Roscoe wakes to find gauntlets of ogre power. As he slides the gauntlets over his halfing hands, he can feel a strength that he'd never had before. He can feel his muscles swelling as the magical strengthens him.
Same to you!
