We had a lot of problems with video and encoding, and it wouldn't let me post the first hour of the adventure. We were able to capture the last 2 hours, which INCLUDES ALL OF THE NEW CAMPAIGN STORY, so that is at least something!
What you missed in the part that couldn't be saved: Tello the turtle man joined the party, and pip took a step back for now. Luna is recovering in Usidores hovel. Ironbark returned to the Merchants guild in order to help with the rebuilding efforts. Usidore hired a bard to spread his good name as well as recruit an apprentice.
THE START OF A NEW ADVENTURE!!
The party meets up with a former comrade... Beebop! Beebop and an elven ranger, Rama, are waiting for them at the Yawning Portal along with a shadowy figure... a demon named EBON.
Ebon informs the party that the gem of darkness has been found, and it's one of 2 gems required to open a celestial gateway between the abyss and the forgotten realms, allowing a demon army to flow through. Ebon betrayed his own kind to prevent the massacre of both the denizens of the forgotten realms, as well as the demons, who he's seen defeated over and over again. The partys quest: find the other gem before the demons (the gem of light) and destroy it at the alter where it was created to stop the invasion! -- Watch live at / theredtailrogues
