# Trouble in Trisden Was the first streamed game from Arcadum, and was the first game run in Corvanis that worked withiin the faction of the Dusk Lillies- a group fighting against the spreading tendrils of Oloken'hai. Pre-[Mytheria](Mytheria.md) post Original Church of Light. 'when the lady of light was destroyed by the shadow legion' - saint of children interacted with a 'Father Porter' who looks somewhat like [Instructor Porter](Instructor%20Porter.md) one of the characters was bonded with the summon [Alucard](Alucard.md) who is now inherited by [Marlowe](Marlowe.md) # Lore starts around the end of Episode 5 candles in church with 5 colors: green, blue, violet, red, and a normal candle (yellow) Nominelle - Servant of the Fading Light at the Cathedral of Fading Light Greets party member as "Partitioner" "The light faded long ago, when the legion of shadow descended. It was there that they sought that which was not theirs, but that is a long and shattered story. All in good time." a screech of magic occurs as waduheck is healed, light pouring out of his body. waduheck's hand reaches out a black hand to harm Nominelle. "A creature of shadow, the touch of the tainted one" huk is the dragon talonsbane of this group 'i am not a spirit, but i am not much more than that. my purpose as a priest has long since been diminished' "there are things that the church needs in order to relive its former glory. if you would but help me, then I would help you. what do you know of the city, of its ancient places?" needs party to go to the aqueduct, retrieve a piece of history to bring back to the church - a symbol of the light 'you are the first visitors that come bearing a certain light, a light that can rekindle that which has been lost' -what is the light you want, is that a metaphor? 'a piece of light, long since lost. a shard of a crystal that once held the center crystal of the great chandelier that hangs above us. Even the smallest shard could bring back the light to this place' church still has relics in it 'the light was considered tyranny by those who used it' 'there are those who misused the light.' # After Ep 5 ^Clifton chained up with shadows coming from his eyes in the aquaduct. made him drink stuff, tortured. mutilated bodies, bones contorted into the shape of a spiral flower Armor of Daemonosis, +1 full plate that a summoner may wear with no casting penalty. Once per week the wearer may combine themselves with their eidolon and become a murder machine. Ring of the Jaguar: +10 to Acrobatics checks spirit of light freed, frost fears em, wordless spirit, andolen frost instantly disintegrates into ash. spirit transforms into a blue candle. frost drops full plate demonic armor with runes. drops a ring, black and red key. correspondence: between frost and uval valcost - who serves as visier for the Count Trisden, the vicount of the country of Trisden, who serves in the palace of horlfaust. Valcost being a counselor to the Count means demonic political corruption goes up pretty high. Story much deeper than the initial investigation of a tavern arson. Abby in the Markyle Swamp, marked by a statue of a Weeping Angel with ominous green candlelight · Torinith Trisden, viscount of Trisden · Uval Valcost, viscount’s vizier · Lawrence Wrath, watchmaster · Freya Froststeel, Arlotian ambassador · Kassian Boblek, minister of commerce Church of Light - burned sorcerers and foreigners. Shadow Legion were required to topple the Church despite how destructive the Legion are toward the populace. # Ep 8 Jester combat with The Laughing Mad Waduheck is a [Red Shattered Eye](The%20Shattered%20Eye.md) with a corrupting demon dagger # Ep 9 and After indicates the ritual was already performed using these notes. this ritual is part of a grander scheme. this ritual is a part of a larger array of rituals - what is known as "The Hand." "The Hand of Hell" "The Hand of Shadows" When they're all performed together simultaneously, "then the Gate of Shadows will open and the Legion returns anew" Unfinished painting in the church of an altar with a candelabra in it. With two slots filled out of eight. Unfinished painting in the church of an altar with a candelabra in it. With two slots filled out of eight. Two candles depicted: Green Red Og ruins the painting because lolxdfunni and this campaign has zero respect for anything outside of standup comedy. Uses violet paint to deface the painting after random roll. Wadu tries to paint his name in the painting, his demon arm takes over and paints for him. Paints a gate shrouded in fire and etched with faces Alucard sees it, starts hacking it with his axe. Painting repairs itself. Calls to burn it with a holy fire. "It is the Gate of Shadows." Any depiction of the gate functions as a portal that Abvxikus and the Legion can use. They go look for fire after rolling up the painting. Find a chapel with a desiccated corpse inside it, dead at least 60-70 years ago before the Church of Light wars. Missing his face. Was a church Assessor - not inquisition, but would precede them. Would investigate institutions for corruption. (including bookkeeping) Wadu stabs the demonic painting with the demonic dagger because Draguul tells him to. Dagger turns into a shortsword empowered by the shadow gate, opens the Portal. Wadu sticks head inside portal: sees hellish landscape, souls that are captured are being tortured constantly, demons everywhere, a great iron fortress - on top of it there's a large swirling eye, with two smaller ones looking in all directions, one of which falls and looks at Wadu. Only way to close portal is to place a holy artifact at the portal and recite a 'holy incantation of light.' they place the St. Amelyn's Wrath (the mace from the 1st abby's bell) in it, alucard the DEMON knows the incantation. Portal closes, holy artifact destroyed. Checks Assessor's body - diary, holy symbol and other shit. Holy Symbol of Light - Empowered from the old Church of Light. Has healing abilities (full rest) or can be used to cleanse Wadu of his demonic possession. Could destroy the demon shortsword as well. They use it to cleanse the sword. Explosion of Light. Summons a woman, revealed to be Saint Freya "Forgotten Saint." Asks Wadu to come infront of her to cleanse his darkness and become a Soldier of Illumination. Gets turned into a Paladin. Eyes turn Gold. Church of Light saints so far: St. Amelyn - Saint of Children St. Freya - Forgotten Saint (who exorcises Wadu) Sir Dog'kik - Lost Saint (Orcish, comes out of an anvil they touch) Ghost of Saint, Sir Dog'kik, possesses Og and gives him barb feats. largest chapel - moonlight pattern on floor from stained glass. weird light sconces. presence of evil. massive statue in center of altar of a preacher. Find expensive hot sauce: Vuluvian Kiss. (Vuluvia?) Hymn of Light Gold chalice on altar - contains liquid light. Statue - Robed priest, cupping hands towards ceiling, like he's hoisting the chalice. Lamentation to the Light. Dog'kik says it's strange the cup would be full of light during night time. the priest's head should be facing downward, not upwards. Organ has sheet music - "Hymn of Light" They heard it before in the church under the city with Nominel. Wadu tries to touch the chalice, summons demon with many mask faces. "The Face Taker" - 4 Masks with separate hp pools [Ghiesa](Ghiesa.md) 3 foe = ultimate mask of warrior - foe resource, adjacency triggers foe gain, 'backlash' ac+ and slashing dmg.

Og plays the Hymn of Light on the piano. Statue turns to move towards the moonlight window. Weakens both the boss and the barrier around the chalice Bless: “Oh Lady of the Ninth, hear my plea for I invoke thy thrice-fold blessing. Bless us with overwhelming strength so we may bring our foes to their knees. Bless us with cunning schemes so we ensnare our quarry. Bless us with terrible might so they may never raise their arms against us again.” “By three you were scorned, by three you deceive, by three you will rule over those who covet and scheme.” “Oh Keeper of the Black Script inscribe thy will upon my flesh, scorch thine wisdom upon my mind, sear unto thy servant the strength to shatter all who stand against me.” Hellish Rebuke: “Ardeat infernalis ignis!” (Let the hellish fire burn!) (Ar-de-at in-fer-nal-is ig-nis!)
