1️⃣
1) 👽***Alien*** EXPERIMENT GONE WRONG IN THE NECROMANCER’S PYRAMID OF CHALLENGES 🛕
House Cannith, the house of higher sciences & learning, was attempting to create a more subservient & powerful race of creatures than the Warforged (robot race)
Che Possible convinced a team of Cannith scientists - along with Chet Ubetcha’s former bodyguard the goliath Chipu - to venture to The Pyramids of Ebon Flame
Ebon Flame is a mysterious region ravaged centuries ago by the experiments of a powerful Titan Necromancer, that is now a series of pyramids
A couple yrs ago Jojo & Scientology, with the help of Zantashk Farmer Blind Melon, created ostrich seals with the help of some substance from Ebon Flame
All contact has been lost with the team - except for the head of Ian Holm (a warforged guide that went with the scientist)
Ian Holm showed a magic recording of his last memory with the team: Chipu surrounded by the scientists (& The Rock Locker’s Auntie) looking into a plant & getting sprayed & then exploding with anger!!
🎁The reward, for bringing back whatever they created:
A House Cannith Blessing, Mark of Making
Cannith will train you in Tool Tinkering
6000 Gold + recovered treasure (the region is known to house powerful magical weapons & tools of magical defense)
Auntie got swept up in this team, helping her scratches your back too
An IOU airship ride from any port 🎁

2) ***Mission Impossible*** 🕵️INFILTRATE THE NIGHTMARE MINDFLAYER VOLCANO 🌋
House Tharashk, one of the newer houses made up of newly enterprised monster races (like half-orcs) & is known for its bounty hunters, lost access to its main source of power: a cave of dragonshards next to Zantashk!!
Don Aguila happened to be - unsuccessfully - lobbying the Judgenator (Zantashk Leader), but in the Judgenator’s crisis he latched onto Don & The Inspired!
The Inspired are a race of dreaming humanoids similar to Bolo’s race The Kalashtar, but unlike the Kalashtar they are advancing the cause of The Quori: nightmare creatures trying to engulf Eberron in The Dreaming Dark who were stopped by the Xen’drik Titans
Don convinced The Judgenator to do a deal with The Inspired for dragonshards in 1 of the “Ash Cauldron” volcanos, but the deal was a scam!! Noone the Judgenator has sent to collect has come back, except for 1 Kalashtar who claims the shard volcano is a cover for a brain-harvesting Mindflayer operation!!
Race through the lava fields, infiltrate the volcano, don’t let the Inspired see you, & bring back evidence of what The Inspired are really doing - but don’t get caught in the Dream Volcano!!
🎁Reward: 6000 Gold + recovered treasure (The Inspired are known to have tools of great psychic ability)
This mission will require vehicles & advanced climbing/scaling equipment, you keep all this.

3) ***Indiana Jones*** 🐍 THE HYDRA IN THE MARSH OF DESOLATION 🛥️
Peace has been uneasy since The Last War ended under mysterious circumstances, each of the Dragonmarked Houses are looking for that edge; & House Kundarak just lost there’s = the mountain of rare emeralds in Xen’drik just disappeared!!
The dwarves of House Kundarak, security & guarding, had long been intrigued by the rumored “endless dragonshard pit” hidden in the bogs of The Marsh of Desolation; a magically dreadful swamp protected by sea serpents - but for adventurers who survive, there is a cave fortress protecting a large source of rare Siberus dragonshards!!
2 firbolgs, Doorathan & Lockathan, convinced Kundarak they knew of a secret path to the cave, Kundarak supplied them, & their newly befriended army of Bugbears, with weapons including a rare experimental fusion bomb
The firbolgs & bugbears came back to Zantashk empty-handed & with their #s significantly reduced - The Lord of Blades, aka Jinx, accosted their boat & launched the bomb, which fused a # of serpents into a Hydra!! Kill the hydra, recover the bomb, & solve the riddles of Marsh of Desolation & bring back Siberus dragonshards!!
🎁Reward: A House Kundarak blessing - Mark of Warding + 6000 GP + recovered treasure (the marsh houses long hidden Titan artifacts that can be powered by dragonshards)
This mission includes sailing; the ship & the sailing team will be yours going-forward
The debts of all Mt Emil survivors will be forgiven
The carcass of a Hydra has rare properties, including granting serpent-like powers 🎁
