Chapter 49: Sibling Rivalry - Introduction

This is a Year Three Living Arcanis adventure, “Sibling Rivalry” by Henry Lopez, set in the Arcanis setting. You can read more about Arcanis at http://www.onaraonline.org. Please note: This adventure contains spoilers!

Our cast of characters includes:

• Dungeon Master: Michael Tresca (http://michael.tresca.net)
• Beldin Soulforge (dwarf fighter/dwarven defender) played by Joe Lalumia
• Ilmarė Galen (elf bard/fighter/seeker of the cerulean sign) played by Amber Tresca
• Sebastian Arnyal (dark-kin sorcerer) played by George Webster
• Vlad Martell (human fighter) played by Matt Hammer

This is one of those adventures that feels like a season finale, even though it isn’t. Plenty of former PCs show up, including Calactyte and Quintus. It explains what they’ve been up to and why they haven’t been in contact for some time.

This adventure also kicks off the inevitable conflict in Coryan that will have far-reaching implications, as far as Freeport. War is coming, and it will affect everyone.

I was pleased that this adventure had our most combat-heavy PCs (the sorcerer and two fighters) to go toe-to-toe against war trolls. War trolls are nasty mothers. In case you’re wondering, I classified war trolls as giants for purposes of the dwarf special ability ‘cause…well, because it’s stupid that normal trolls are considered giants but war trolls aren’t. All of the Singarthan trolls were converted from the original adventure, with Warrior Caste trolls becoming war trolls and Arcane Caste trolls becoming regular warmage trolls. It worked out nicely.
