Adventures of Raun'shesh is a campaign set in Raun'shesh which is a continent in the world of Enu and follows the Enu Calendar.

Events

Kunnar Ashilt, Tricksy Shimmerbottom, Globbnok and Klibig Dragonscale found themselves in jail for their own different reasons, there they spent their first night together. In the morning, a gnome who said his name was Gweg Shimmerbottom came and collected them. He also said that they wouldn’t be in any legal trouble because of the actions that put them in jail and would get money if they helped him out with a problem he had.

The job they got was to investigate the sewers underneath a storage room within the castle’s outer walls, that was supposedly infested by a large pack of rats. The rats seemed sick, and some of them where very large. The party managed to clean it out and recived their pay.

Afterwards they were invited to Barner’s Bathhouse with Gweg, and then to eat at his house, where they met his wife Clara and their children, Kogler and Sarah. Gweg then told them that he would pay for their stay in The Bugztein Tavern that night and maybe give them a new job in the morning.

Gweg's Disappearance

On the morning of the 3rd of Shigarzur 766, Globbnok, Tricksy Shimmerbottom, Mjrn and Sir Villevard got seperate messages from Clara Shimmerbottom saying that Gweg Shimmerbottom had gone missing, and that she would like for them to go look for a sign of might have happened to him. She said their neighbour had found Gweg's key in the door to the food cellar that had previously been infested by rats. Clara said that Gweg would never have gone down there, given his fear of rats.

Everyone decided to accept the quest and met each other outside the gate to the outer castle walls. Clara handed them the key, and they descended down into the cellar. Everything looked in place in the food cellar, apart from the drain-lid being slightly ajar. The party decided to follow this lead, and descended down into the sewer system. After walking deeper into the sewers they happened upon a brutish orc and a halfling who attacked them on sight.

During the fight, after the party defeated the orc without much difficulty, the smaller halfling man transformed into a strange humanoid rat. After managing to bite Sir Villevard, the halfling man was also defeated and transformed back into his halfling form.

Getting deeper into the sewers, Globbnok spotted hair strands that unmistakably belonged to Gweg Shimmerbottom. Soon after, the party also discovered Gweg's distinctive purple winter hat. The search had led them to a large junction where sewage from multiple sources converged into a single tunnel. As they prepared to approach, Globbnok caught sight of movement in the water.

Sir Villevard recognized the movement in the water as two Sewer Eeze. As the party attempted to slip past, the creatures attacked. The party eventually triumphed and gathered themselves to descend into the tunnel ahead of them. Villevard was sent ahead to scout and enterd a large antechamber downstream. There he was met by a group of maintenance workers who regarded him with suspicion. When Globbnok and a shapeshifted Mjrn made an impromptu entrance the workers moved to attack. They were soon joined by a mage donning a disguise of Gweg Shimmerbottom who released a swarm of rats on the party.

The workers, the rats and the mage were all disposed off. In the aftermath of the battle, the party decided to investigate the room from where the mage entered and discovered a small study populated by a talking rat in a cage named Gormer. By relaying his requests through Mjrn, Gormer asked to be dressed and was then permitted to accompany the party further into the sewers.

With Gormer in tow, the party entered a laboratory decorated with several terrariums populated by rats. Some appeared frenzied while others were entirely docile. While exiting the laboratory, Sir Villevard was ambushed by two shapeshifting humans. During the battle, the party discovered that the man-rats harbored an allergy to silver.

Returning to the central chamber, the party decided to interrogate one of the maintenance workers. To cover up their tracks they force fed the worker an alcoholic solution which caused him to quickly pass out. The party then headed back to the laboratory and opened the small door which appeared to lead into a storage room. Inside was a sleeping Otyugh, who was roused at the sound of Globbnok's entry. Under one of the crates Globbnok spied a small hatch in the floor. He was then pulled out by Sir Villevard, who barred the entrance leaving the creature contained once more.

Further into the corridor the party encountered a fork. They investigated noises coming upstairs from their left, using the workers keys to open a set of locked doors. To avoid being discovered they decided against continuing ahead they, instead taking the other path. This lead them to another set of locked doors. Behind were two rat people whom they bypassed via passing Mjrn and Sir Villevard off as figures of authority.

In the next room the party confronted a well-dressed halfling and his ogre retainer. Just as the halfling was getting wise to their true intent, Sir Villevard started a combat. Neither of the conspirators survived. In the halflings study they found a letter addressed to him as well as a signet ring with the heraldry of House Aubert. From the letter, the party learned of a cure which they believed was guarded by the creature in the storage room.

A plan was hatched to lure the Otyugh away using the corpses of the slain maintenance workers. The plan went of without a hitch and the creature escaped further into the sewers. Globbnok recovered the cure from the hatch in the floor whereupon the party set off to find an exit.
