# ![[Season 1 Picture.png]] Season 1 ("Onyx's Encore") ran from 3/9/2025 to 12/7/2025. There were 22 sessions DM'ed by three different people. 13 different player characters were featured throughout the season. # Overview A brief prologue in Bispur involves the adventurers teaming up for the first time to solve the case of a missing child. An open call for help unites an unlikely team of adventurers consisting of [[Lander Brightwood]], [[Nyxaria Anogwinn]], [[Onyx Heartsong]], [[Myrkanis Rynforth]], [[Larry Stone]], [[Barry Stone]], and [[Waldro]]. They begin traveling together and [[Crowley]] joins while Onyx parts ways with the group. Six months later, they are invited by [[Lord Arthur Ambertrack]] of [[Troivanis]] to locate his missing daughter, [[Serefina Devereaux]]. They locate Serefina and her now-husband [[Drake Devereaux]] at a hideout in [[Rosendale]]. It turns out Serefina's mother, chaotic arch-fey [[Tasha]], has been on the hunt for them both along with her lover [[Graz'zt]] - ruler of all fiends - and they're working together to bring back the blight, a magical plague that irreparably warps all it comes into contact with. The team journey to [[Marisvane]] where Nyx's family estate may hold clues to curing the blight. Onyx rejoins the party, and Drake sends [[Kurt Konrad]] and [[Pip]] to assist in their quest while Myrkanis stays behind to study blighted artifacts and assist Drake and Serefina. The search turns up a few fragments of prior lab notes, ingredients, and a mention of an [[Arcane Oven]] located at [[Noblekeep - Enclave of The Adept]]. After a fight with some fey and fiends outside the estate, they recover a letter written by a [[Morrigan]] who instructed his minions to return to [[Marisvane - Finch's Nest]]. After rescuing Pip (who had been abducted into a fiendish hideout underneath the town), they discover Morrigan attempting to open a portal to the new blight, but he is defeated. Myrkanis returns to pass along a message from Drake. He asks them to search for an old acquaintance of Nyx's parents named [[Nelmar Wexland]], who was last recently seen in Noblekeep after years of being missing. The team stir up a bit of trouble in Noblekeep, but do find Nelmar's whereabouts through a fledgling group of Aasimar who call themselves [[The First Order of the Planetouched]]. A mute drow by the name of [[Valryn]] - who had found refuge with the Aasimar - agrees to guide them to Nelmar. There, a great battle occurs between the adventurers and a most powerful fiend named [[Athux]], whom they slay. It is also discovered that Onyx is Drake and Serefina's daughter. The party regroups at Drake and Serefina's other hideout in the neon caves. Nelmar shares his study in the nascent field of gemology, explaining that they can absorb the arcane power of the root of the blight to end it using something called a vessel stone. Drake (who had been studying other planes of existence) believes the blight to be located in the [[Shadowfell]]. Serefina arrives with an urgent message: Bispur has been blighted. They rescue [[Marcus]], [[The Mayor]]'s son whom they found six months earlier. They also happen upon a wandering wizard by the name of [[Severus Drelix]] who is asked to join the party after it is discovered he knows how to operate an arcane oven. At Bispur, Tasha forces Serefina (who had come along to protect the adventurers) to join her, and they vanish together. They all return to the neon caves. Onyx's secret sister, [[Althea Devereaux]], is determined to be the only being with the divine power to utilize the vessel stones properly. They head out for Noblekeep where Nelmar explains that Severus must charge the vessel stone using the arcane oven (which he does while the rest fend off waves of fiendish forces). An extremely powerful dimension door is discovered leading to the Shadowfell in the basement of the Enclave. The team grab Althea and make the perilous trek to the heart of [[The Second Blight]], where Graz'zt awaits with his army (which includes Larry's long-lost brother [[Harry Stone]]). They find [[V. Crestwile]] in chains, who once freed reveals themself to be a transformed Serefina mid-battle, taking Graz'zt by surprise and turning the tide in the battle. Althea and Serefina cure the blight, and another powerful dimension door (created by Tasha) allows everyone to escape except for Crowley's aasimar friends. Through the portal, Tasha explains she had sought to betray Graz'zt with Serefina's help, claiming he had been unfaithful to her. The season ends with the adventurers returning to build a life in Bispur while Crowley seeks to rescue his friends. # Episodes [[S1 E01]] - 3/9/25 [[S1 E02]] [[S1 E03]] - 3/31/25 [[S1 E04]] [[S1 E05]] - 4/27/25 [[S1 E06]] - 5/18/25 [[S1 E07]] - 6/1/25 [[S1 E08]] - 6/8/25 [[S1 E09]] - 6/22/25 [[S1 E10]] - 7/6/25 [[S1 E11]] - 7/20/25 [[S1 E12]] - 8/3/25 [[S1 E13]] - 8/10/25 [[S1 E14]] - 8/17/25 [[S1 E15]] - 8/24/25 [[S1 E16]] - 8/31/25 [[S1 E17]] - 9/14/25 [[S1 E18]] - 10/6/25 [[S1 E19]] - 10/13/25 [[S1 E20]] - 11/9/25 [[S1 E21]] - 11/16/25 [[S1 E22]] - 12/7/25 # Characters [[Barry Stone]] (Episode(s) 2) [[Brandi]] (Episode(s) 16) [[Crowley]] (Episode(s) 3-22) [[Kurt Konrad]] (Episode(s) 6-22) [[Lander Brightwood]] [[Larry Stone]] [[Myrkanis Rynforth]] (Episode(s) 1, 3, 5-6) [[Nyxaria Anogwinn]] [[Onyx Heartsong]] [[Pip]] (Episode(s) 6-21) [[Severus Drelix]] (Episode(s) 17-22) [[Valryn]] (Episode(s) 13-22) [[Waldro]]
