    ​
    Yep, after nearly three months running, the crossover is finally revealed in 4.0 Weclome to Arendelle, which is at the start of the movie. Arc 4 takes place over roughly the same time frame of the movie, though events play out quite different due to player decisions. We are now moving on to Arc 5, which is going to be about dealing with the consequences of what just happened.

    So welcome to the quest, and I hope you are entertained.

    Locations

    Your nest was located in a mountain valley. Now it is it's own world, barely connected to the Overworld.

    - Nest World - A small world with your nest at the center of it, a forest surrounding that similar to the Deep forest of the Overworld, yet more inherently magical, with a mountain rising at the back, with it's peak hidden by the fog surrounding the world marking it's edge. Going into the mist will only deposit you back right where you entered it, despite going in a straight line.

    - Mørkeskogen (Deep Forest) - Magic is still seeping and pooling in the forest, though in far greater amounts than you remember. The forest is now thick with much larger trees than it once had, allowing little light to reach the forest floor. A sense of otherness and silence permeates the shadows far from it's borders. And you are not alone.

    Evidence has been found that boars the size of houses roam the forest, living shadows that eat life force from the shadows of others, and murders of crows that cast no shadow have been seen. Giant, impossible trees that reach the clouds, yet can not be seen from outside the forest. The forest itself seems to be bigger on the inside as well.

    - Grasslands - A vast collection of farms and pastures, with a large network of stone and dirt roads crisscrossing between them.

    - Cliffs - The land before the cliffs is just more grasslands, but when you look out over the cliffs, there is a magnificent view of the sea, and down below and to the right, a large bay with many ships, the city of Arendelle. The view of the three great bridges crossing the fjord and with the hundreds of ships and boats crossing under them is beautiful.

    - Eikendelle - Aase's former village, turned town in whatever happened while she was in her Nest World. There are streets, entire streets dedicated to similar crafts and merchants, which are filled with goods, many of which she has never seen before. And the people who dress and speak so differently than what Aase remembers from before, who speak of their day to day life while buying and selling in amounts that she was sure would shock the village she remembers. The buildings are made from smooth, well made planks, painted and often with carved decorations in or on them. Lanterns are everywhere, as is an abundance of metal and glass. Clearly, the town is quite wealthy, and with talk about an expansion to a gold mine in the mountain behind the forest, it's clear where it comes from.

    - Grass side Mountain - [UNEXPLORED]
    - Forest side Mountain - [UNEXPLORED]
    - Far end of the Valley - [UNEXPLORED]

    - Fjord - The fjord is large, cutting into the landscape of mountains, The area with the city is sort of an offshoot, with stone walls from the castle to form a protected harbor, with dozens of ships inside at dock in the city. The beach is rather rocky, seemingly made up of pebbles, rocks, and some sandy dirt. Going around the fjord, the city has grown around, and over the fjord with the three great bridges.

    - Arendelle - Extending up out of the narrow valley and into the surrounding hills and valleys, with a trio of giant metal bridges crossing to the other side of the fjord where even more of the city was now. Over a hundred of the large sailing ships were tied up at the cities many docks, or anchored in the fjord, with hundreds of smaller river boats and yachts between them. The various districts of the city provided much of everything, from warehouses down at the piers, to business districts, residential blocks of various quality, industrial sectors whose smokestacks stained the sky, to the posh areas up on the hills and mountainsides where large manors looked down onto the city. The old areas of the city that you remember, around the Castle and it's docks, now seems to be the richest part of the city.

    'History of the Northern Empire and the Kalmar Union, 1397 - 1800'


    The Northern Empire was founded with the Kalmar Union of 1397, where after conquering the final Swedish resistance, and the loss of King Hakaan VI Magnusson in the final battle, the Queen Margaret, in the name of her son, Olaf II, King of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, convinced the King of Finland to name the boy as his heir, as his own sons had all been lost in the decade before to various reasons. Olaf II did have moderate blood ties to himself, and likely fearing that Finland would be next on Norway's list, he decided to accept their offer and name the boy his heir.

    Queen Margaret spent the next ten years unifying the four kingdoms into a single Empire, using Norway's numerous mages and witches to strengthen their armies, enhance their markets, and bring the peoples of this new Empire closer together.

    Once Olaf II Magnusson took the throne on his 16th birthday in 1409, he began building up the army and navy of the Empire, for what is now called the first wave of Imperial Expansion, where over the next hundred years, the Northern Empire conquered much of the Baltic Region, and ended up controlling nearly everything withing 300 miles of the Baltic Sea, as well as tightening it's hold on many islands in the North Atlantic, such as Greenland and Iceland, as well as smaller islands, such as the Faroe Islands, Jan Mayen, and Svalbard.

    Russia in particular suffered quite heavily from Imperial expanionism, losing most of northwest Russia to the Empire before 1500, the Empire's border nearly reached Moscow. This would be the height of the Empire's power in Europe though, as so much conquered territory, with many times the population of the original countries of the Empire, took a great deal of resources to integrate.

    And with the Austrian led Central Coalition and the French Kingdom to the South, as well as the infuriated Russian Monarchy to the east, along with such massive land borders made more expansion in Europe nigh impossible. So the Empire began looking overseas for less militarily expensive options to expand it's power in the early 1600's.

    This lead to the colonization of Canada, along with several smaller colonies in South America, Africa, Australia, and Asia. It also lead to a great deal of strife with the British Empire, and the two have had cool relations ever since, as well as competing for the worlds largest navy.

    But by the late 1600's Christianity had deeply rooted itself in the Empire, the Catholic and deeply religious Frederick III Magnusson felt that the Empire was ready for more widespread adoption of Catholic principles, and banned the practice of witchcraft, and outlawed magical items and plants from the Empire.

    The 1700's saw a loss of territory in Central Europe, as the Central Coalition, with French and British support, reclaimed much of what was lost in the 1400's invasions, and pushed the Empire borders back by 150 miles toward the Baltic Sea all across Europe. It is only with the American and French Revolutions during the end of the century and the exhaustion of the many wars that saw the loss of Imperial territory end.

    Moving into the new century, the aging Emperor Frederick VII Magnusson has joined the Alliance against a new threat, the Emperor Napoleon I, of a newly minted and aggressively expansionist French Empire. He has vowed to see Imperial lands restored and the French dreams of a united continent dashed his sone, the Crown Prince Agnarr takes to the field, leading the Empire's army to victory.
    'The Aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, 1830'

    In the last year of the last of the Napoleonic wars, it seemed that even the military genius of Napoleon would have to bow to the latest, and mightiest alliance against him and the French Empire, as kingdoms and empires from all sides joined together in the singular goal of defeating the French and reclaiming their lost lands.

    But Napoleon showed that he was a political genius as well as a military one by secretly sending diplomats to the Allies, minus the Northern Empire, with an intriguing offer. To turn against the Northern Empire and split up it's mainland European holdings. In exchange, Napoleon would give up some of it's recently conquered territories and enact a series of alliance and trade treaties with the Alliance.

    The breaking of the Alliance came in 1812, with coordinated surprise attacks on the Northern Empire, who was then moving to engage the French at Waterloo, to cut off the spear of their advancement into Imperial territory. It was considered by many to be Napoleon's greatest victory in both the military and political spheres.

    It was an unmitigated disaster for the Empire, with their grand army beset on all sides, few soldiers escaped back into Northern controlled lands. Sadly, the Crown Prince Agnarr was not among them. On hearing the news, his father, the Emperor Frederick VII, suffered a heart attack, and later passed in the night, leaving the now Emperor Agnarr II in French custody.

    With their Grand Army routed and captured, their Emperor imprisoned, and their fleets outnumbered, the Northern Empire had no choice but to accept the humiliating terms of the Congress of Vienna, where the powers of Europe carved the Northern Empires southern holdings up to promote a new balance of power.

    The French Empire would receive most of the Germanic states, in exchange for releasing Belgium and Amsterdam. The Austrian Empire would receive some of the southern Germanic and Polish regions. The Russians, who did rather poorly against the Empire once more, only made modest territorial gains, mostly in a corridor centered around the Latvia region, to the Baltic sea, once the sole domain of the Empire.

    The British received East Canada from the Empire, their most prosperous colony at the time, completing their grip on the northern section of the American Continent, as well as a new Fleet treaty, limiting the number of heavy warships the Empire could build to one for every one and a half the British had.

    The Territory once known as Denmark, for the first time in four centuries, found itself as an independent country, ruled by a branch of the Charming family distantly related to the Magnusson's about 4 generations ago, who took the name Westergaard, to signify their duty in limiting the Empire's influence in Western Europe. It was renamed the Kingdom of the Southern Isles in an attempt to engender a new national identity among it's people, with new flags, symbols, currency, and even a new official language to try and distance them from their Imperial past.

    The lands of the northern Polish, Belarus, and Lithuania regions were too then condensed into a new Kingdom, called Corona. Emperor Agnarr and his negotiators did manage to get his cousin installed as it's king, King Olaf I Tryggvason. Of it's former holdings, Corona has the best relationship with the Northern Empire, and many believe that it's only a matter of time before it rejoins.
    Map of Europe, 1839

    Dark Blue is the Northern Empire, Blue is the Austrian Empire, ruled by the Charming Dynasty, Orange is for the French Empire, Red is the British Empire, PinkLight Red is for the Southern Isles, ruled by the Westergaards, Light Beige is Russia, and the Lime Green is Corona.

    The two Dark Blue lines running through the middle of Europe are the old borders of the Northern Empire, the lower run is pre-1700's, while the upper one is pre-1812.

    Well, another few months, and a simple new Quest to help me practice writing and running a quest. No hard and fast rules, a simple dice mechanic of rolling your score + modifiers vs. a rolled DC + modifiers, and GM decisions. And here, we, go.
    Intro said:
    For the first time in history, magic has appeared in the world.

    A common snake, wandering through the forest looking for a mate in the rapidly melting snow as spring approaches, suddenly writhed in pain as magic focused on her, causing her to immaculately conceive 99 eggs, containing the first magical beings to grace the universe. These Primordial Titans may be young and weak, but they shall know no limits and be bound by no means but by their own choices.

    But magic entering reality for the first time is no easy feat, and the 99 unborn Titans are reduced to a mere 23 hatchlings weeks later. The constant death of their siblings has both empowered them, and cursed them.

    You, dear readers, are a snake of destiny, the 9th snake hatched of 99, on the 9th day of spring. And this, is your story.

    As you burst through the soft shell of your egg, you lay panting as you take your first breaths of cold air into your lungs, your tongue tasting the almost painfully sharp scents around you. A moment of looking at each other, and nearly half of your siblings quickly slither away into the surrounding forest, while the other half turns towards the unhatched eggs, and their fading primordial power, with hunger in their eyes.

    1.0, Hatching:
    [] Avoid your kin, slither into the forest and away from the nest
    [] Turn towards one of the eight unhatched eggs, such power cannot be given up so easily
    [] Chase and attempt to consume one of your cowardly brethren who fled to the forest for their power
    [] As the others focus on the eggs, strike and eat them from behind

    • At 4 to 1, I'm calling it for [] As the others focus on the eggs, strike and eat them from behind

    There is a rush as snakes slitherpede towards the eggs, but it soon becomes apparent that you were not the only one who thought to take advantage of your sibling's distraction. But fortune smiles on you, as none of your brothers and sisters are paying any attention to you, as they are too focused on their own targets, giving you carte blanche.

    1.1, Sibling Rivalry:
    [] A snake with metal scales, choking an egg down it's gullet
    [] A snake with a rather painful hum around it, choking an egg down it's gullet
    [] A snake made of darkness eating another snake
    [] Interfere with one of the pairs of fighting snakes (powers easily observed: Darkness beams, water bolts, a wooden snake, a creature made of sticks and leaves, a snake that transformed into a larger, stronger snake, with a golden sheen to his scales, and an eldritch creature)

    Next update will be later tonight, we get 10+ votes, and I'll throw in a little bonus.

    • [X] A snake with metal scales, choking an egg down it's gullet

    Can we cast reanimation while we are eating, or do we have to "focus" entire turn for it?
     
    You have to focus on it, but the zombie will be able to attack during that turn, as it's how the other snakes that summon/create/shape minions are fighting.
     
    Also, do we know if we can eat targets for certain IC, or we need to judge that OOC?

    For example, thinking about abilities other snake have, i don't see us killing metal snake, but maybe IC we know that we can do it.

    Anyhow:

    [X] Reanimate beefiest looking corpse and send it to hunt for snakes
    -[X] Metal snake

    I'm more confident in corpse's ability to hit metal rather than shadow.

    Yeah, you can eat at least two, maybe three targets for certain, depending on how the dice roll after the second one. And you don't have to kill a snake before eating them. It helps, but you're a snake, just swallow them. It also helps that metal snake is in the middle of swallowing an egg and depending on his armor to intimidate the others away. Also, no snakes have died yet, though you get a feeling from the eggs, even though they're not fully dead yet. Though you don't really know what that will do if you do reanimate an unhatched Primordial Titan snake.

    Anyway, vote will be called in three to four hours.

    • Well, thought there'd be more discussion, but I guess not. Calling it for [] A snake made of darkness eating another snake

    You successfully sneak up on the snake made of darkness as he finishes swallowing his target, and manage to quickly start sliding him down your own gullet, but it proves to be harder than anticipated, even weighed down with a mostly swallowed snake. It takes a few minutes before you can finish him off, at which point, there are far fewer snakes around.

    The metal snake finishes his egg, before another snakes crawls up to him and rubs against him before both go off to face another snake from two sides, yet finds himself frozen under the gaze of another snake who then begins eating him. Oddly enough, though the metal snake trembled, he seemed to actually be quickly wriggling down the new snakes gullet on his own instead of fighting back.

    The painfully humming snake comes and tries to attack you with a piercing shriek, but while painful, you weather through it, intimidating the humming snake into trying to retreat into the forest. You also notice a couple of others trying to retreat, the one who was throwing water bolts, and another one who you only saw dodge. You are quickly set upon by a snake and a direct wooden copy, though like the humming snake, you manage to defend yourself, with the snake and his clone backing off, seeing his 'easy prey' turn the tables so readily.

    Of the snakes left, there is the wood clone snake, the snake that allied with the metal snake, the metal eating snake, and the snake that can shoot the beam of darkness, and six eggs left.

    1.2 Winner Winner, Snakey Dinner:
    [] Attack the wood clone snake
    [] Chase the fleeing snakes before they escape into the forest
    [] Attack one of the other snakes remaining
    [] Having established dominance, over your lesser brethren, go eat an egg.

    • Well, it doesn't look like anyone else is voting, so with the vote split between eating an egg and attacking we'll let a coin flip decide. And it falls in egg eating's favor.

    With the other snakes occupied with each other, you slither over and consume one of the remaining eggs without any interference at all. You're getting rather full, but you could eat one more thing without being weighed down overly much.

    Of the other snakes, the humming snake, water bolt snake, and the wood clone snake escape into the forest. The metal eating snake is chasing a quickly dodging snake trying to slither away into the woods, and the snake that was fighting with the metal snake is now fighting with the dark beam snake, and are now chasing after the metal eating snake.

    1.3 The Final Four
    [] Let the others fight it out, eat another egg
    [] The eggs can wait, attack one of the closer ones while they're looking the other way (Ally Snake, Dark Beam Snake)
    [] Or you could just sneak away into the forest now, leaving the 5 remaining eggs of phenomenal cosmic power to whoever wins the Thunder-dome
