September 25, 1232: On their way back to Saltmarsh, after a successful venture into the Ruins of Nol-Daer, the party consisting of Steven, Nail, Perceval, Etrois, and Zeboo experience a stranger phenomena in the sky a few miles to the south. As they watch, a wave of purplish-blue energy bursts forth from the clouds rippling over the countryside much in the same way a stone thrown into a pond sends ripples in the water. As the waves spread, they increase in speed and everything behind them blurs as seasons and surroundings transform in the blink of an eye. The earth trembles as the waves roll over the party knocking them to the ground. Once the waves pass, all is calm. Nail, Perceval, Etrois, and Zeboo are disturbed to find that Steven has vanished in the disturbance; whisked away with no warning. After wandering through the countryside for about a day, the party happens across a small, walled village near the edge of the woods. A sign near the main gate reads “Welcome to New Moret”. The townsfolk are friendly enough and take little interest as the party strolls about and takes rooms at the local inn. |
