Solo Rambling Roleplay

Aleric sets off on what will likely be the most challenging journey he's faced so far. A test of his wits and willpower will push him to his limits!   The winding stairwell is familiar to Aleric at this point. He knows that the landing will eject him out into the depths of the Breach and his destination will be different from the last two journeys. It still takes him aback slightly as he exits out into a large opening at the base of a massive tower. Clouds swirl around the tower, obfuscating the sky above, making it seem as if he has exited out into an open plain with the tower at its heart. “Well… At least I don’t have to go searching for this damned tower. I hope this pendant that Stone-Gaze gave me is worth its weight…” With a bit more trepidation than his previous ventures, Aleric steps forward and heads towards the looming tower. 1. The Moon Door As Aleric approaches the base of the tower, he eyes the massive double doors that appear to be the ent...

Aleric has returned with the shard of the Worldbreaker! Now to see what his next mission below will be... Aleric pulls his pack from his back and eagerly pulls the recovered chunk of the Worldbreaker Shard out to present to Stone-Gaze. “The cultists didn’t even know what was coming. Their leader, Arioch, has been slain and they were none the wiser. Oh I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when they discovered their leader in a pool of his blood.” Aleric laughs, holding the shard aloft for Stone-Gaze to inspect. “Well done Aleric, this will hamstring the cults plans, whatever they may have been.” Stone-Gaze takes the shard from Aleric to inspect, nodding his head as he holds the chunk of metal close to his eye. “Refresh yourself and I will make a feast for this evening. A job well done deserves a hearty meal.” With that Aleric nods, retreating to his room and laying his pack on the floor. He takes a moment to wash and refresh himself from the hard battles ...

With the spider defeated, Aleric begins the final assault on the cultist stronghold. 5. Shadowed Courtyard Aleric continues his journey down the heavily trodden path leading away from the guarded bridge. The day is wearing on him by now, and he feels the pulsing of the wound from the spider mandibles in his shoulder. He slows his pace, feeling that he’s far enough away from the crossing to examine his situation. “I’m going to need to rest before I face Arioch. I can’t imagine he’ll willingly give up this shard of the Worldbreaker spear that his little band of cultists has acquired. Before I continue, I’d best take a moment to rest. The final leg is just ahead. Would be a shame to fail my mission now.” With that he finds a small alcove where he can tuck away and tend to his wounds for a bit. Pulling some rations from his pack along with some bandages to dress his wound, he takes a moment to rest.   GM Note: Aleric will take a stretch...

Time for the big fight! With no other options to get around the chasm, Aleric's going to need some luck to kill this monster before he continues on his journey. Aleric spends some time readjusting his pack, making sure that the antidote supplied by the Orc herbalist is within easy reach. “I really hope I don’t need that… But better safe than sorry.” After he makes his preparations he shoulders his pack and heads towards the entrance to the shaft leading into the chasm. As he arrives he finds two Orcs standing around chatting. One carries a broadsword and is decently armored. The other is obviously some kind of scout, wearing light leather armor and carrying a short bow and a full quiver of arrows. As Aleric approaches, the warrior gets the scout’s attention and points over towards him. “I suppose you’ve won the lottery to accompany me below and face this damned spider? Aleric’s the name.” The warrior steps forward, giving Aleric a confident nod. “No sir, w...
