ALEM

---

Sound the drums, head on to war — seized citadel Alem has already been there for the lion's share of a year.

Under the Scavengers' guidance, the four sand worms the party captured gently graze underground corridors allowing the group to reach halfway up Mount Attevar. From there, they quickly infiltrate Alem through a bustling trade route.

Young King Deimar strikes a simple bargain: serve Alem in its bitter last days until inevitable downfall, and the citadel will grant access to its Beacon before the final evacuation is completed.

Sounds simple enough. Now, survive it.

Characters arrive today, with our first proper taste of event chaos due on 27-28 January. Get your character settled in, check out the setting and their assignment, and strike some CR:

yo if Caitlyn needs a map to help organize her mystery-solving, Kahl's cybernetics automatically generate one for him as he explores a place. He can't share it directly with anybody, but he can still draw what he sees.

Also he'd like to make sure she's okay after that time she started turning into a werewolf a couple months back

I'd absolutely love some more CR with these two, and Caitlyn loves maps (and making sure people she attacked while turning into a werewolf are doing alright) so yes please, bring it on!

[kahl_175]

Huzzah! Kahl's going to be doing the rounds to map out everywhere he can reach, so he can help more with the defense. They could run into each other while Caitlyn's out investigating, and either take it from there, or handwave that and reconvene somewhere with drawing supplies!

[clavesregni]

I think we can handwave the initial meeting and have them reconvene with drawing supplies. I'll start a thread for Kahl under my top-level!
