Premade Campaign 10: The Unfinished God (3/3)
The Unfinished God is intended for Epic level characters and is an alternative Part Three in a Three Part series.
When part two left off, the party was sitting in the cultist’s shrine holding an Egg, the supposed “artifact” that would awaken the Tarrasque. While it may have been tempting, they decided not to destroy it, hoping instead to find its purpose in this strange scheme. Leaving the shrine, they are met by the goddess Farria, who asks for the Egg so that she can destroy it. She takes it, and with a glowing white energy it disappears. As it fades, so do the runes on their bodies and the Perfection spell cast on them (see Part One). She explains that breaking it would have awaken the engine of destruction, and securing the Egg has ensured that he will remain asleep for many years to come.
However, now that they have dealt with the Morghrog’s plans they need to deal with him, and he is none to happy with the party’s actions. None to happy at all.
The Oni’s powers have grown very strong since he began his journey, like the party’s have, and he has found powerful magical items to increase his capability in battle. While the last remnants of his cults are scattered and his plan to raise the Tarrasque is a bust, he still has one thing his eyes are set on: destroying the adventurers. Farria warns the party that he has begun assembling other magical devices in hopes of raising another beast from the depths to destroy them, and while his plans don’t involve annihilation of the material plane, it would result in the deaths of many. The party must investigate what magic he is trying to use and stop it, before he can complete his new devious goals.
With enough searching they can find that Morghrog is looking for ancient scrolls to cast a spell, but what spell? No one seems to know, just that an Oni Mage has been coming through towns raiding their temples and tombs. Each town now has undead roaming the streets, and the party should deal with that before perusing the Oni. Each town’s undead are stronger, until they finally find a cleric who seems to know what is going on. He believes that Morghrog is attempting to raise an Atropal – an unfinished god, raised as an undead. They wander other, darker planes and he believes that the Oni Mage is trying to open a portal to bring one over.
As he says this, the walls rumble and the ceiling falls in. The streets are completely filled with zombies and other forms of the walking dead. With vile creatures rising out of the ground, the party must work fast to take down their foe. Before long they are able to find him at one of the temples, ransacking the graves. He finds a blue crystal and begins to cackle, but is shocked to see the party. He crushes the crystal in his hand and throws a dust of blue at the party. Before they have a chance to move, a sickly red hand rises from the ground. They must defeat Morghrog and the Atropal he has risen before the beast unleashes its wrath on the world.
